Working on some samples. If you're wondering why there is a #crochet hook stuck through one sample: It is so I remember which hook I used until I write these things down

50 woven squares from scrap yarn stacked on top of each other.
I like to weave my worsted scraps on a 4” Zoom Loom to use them up. Once I have enough, I will join them together into a colorful blanket. I now have 50 squares - halfway to a baby sized blanket. #zoomloom #pinloom #weaving #scrapblanket 🧶
If anyone might be following along at home, next stream I will show how to do a bias woven square on the zoom loom. I have found that this handy sewing tool is fantastic for this technique. #weaving #weavesky #zoomloom #loopturner
Four 4” square coasters sitting in a sunbeam on a Zoom Loom box. They are two strands of #MauriceBrassard 8/4 cotton held together in the colors wine, forest, and navy — or whatever that is in French. The ends are woven in but not trimmed.

These are some coasters I made on my #ZoomLoom. It was my first loom! Small projects are nice for instant gratification. There will be two more for 6 coordinating #coasters.
Should I glue them to cork? Contact cement?

Small pouch made from hand dyed handspun yarn, in muted gold, green, red and blue. The pouch lies open on a yellow couch, with a case of watercolour paints open on top of the pouch. The watercolours are in reds, yellows, oranges and other earthy tones, and the white inside lid of the paint case is speckled with paint from colour mixing.
I made a thing - a little pouch for my watercolour paints.

Learning what suits my pinloom and me. Trial with 8/4 cotton, doubled. Cotton needs to be very loosely warped on the pinloom ..... I really tried "loosely" but failed nevertheless ; getting a very tight weave 😔.

The #zoomloom is my other favorite #pinloom. This a a favorite sweater, following a pattern of my own design. The 150ish different yarns are samples from past dyelots.
I got side tracked by the pretty yarn ; now I have 15 squares. Any suggestions what I could make with it ?
In the meanwhile : back to the blue squares ☺️

So 5 days in, 10th square warped, wefted and ready for weaving.
Started thinking how many I need for a 2x1m60 blanket ... at least 320 😁 !

I received my first pin loom yesterday. After a first test, decided to start using these blue yarns which I have in my stash (rigid heddle weaver for 4 years now). Goal a blanket, or at least a big shawl 😂

well it turns out 4 #zoomloom squares and a little #crochet makes one funky #fingerlessglove 😂

A Zoom Loom with an ecru square in progress. There are a variety of coaster/hot pads in Christmas colors. Plaid, log cabin, twill, houndstooth, diagonal, plain ecru, and one blue with a white snowflake cross-stitched on it. Snowflake design from the interwebz. Background is a fuzzy teal blanket.

Have we talked about #PinLooms yet? This is a #Schacht #ZoomLoom. It weaves 4x4” squares. I used big box cotton (worsted), but the colors ran and have faded with washing. If I did this again I’d use MB 8/8 or doubled 8/4.
Designs are mine.
