pin looms






I have been experimenting with pin looms, other wise know as loomette, or weavette. Here are pictures of my results.













The top square is done with 1 strand of size 80 tatting thread. that is about the same diameter as 'quiliting' sewing thread.




The second squre is done with 2 strands. The squares were done with pins pushed into a piece of foam, following the squres on 10sqi graph paper.










This is a diamond shaped loom. It is about 6" long on the longest diagonal.
I used nylon tape yarn. the loose diamond is done on every other peg.
The diamond peg loom is tricky to use, as the ribbon packs very tighlty.
