Hankering for Yarn

Potholder Loom Weaving: More 2 color weaving on the potholder loom and how to turn a ‘regular yarn’ into ‘designer’ yarn

by Noreen on September 6th, 2006

To add a more ‘designer’ touch to a ‘regular’ yarn, combine it with sewing machine thread, sock yarn, crochet cotton, fuzzy nylon serging thread, even torn fabric strips.You can see the difference in the pictures below.

Here’s how to weave a ‘3/3′ checkerboard fabric:

To weave the 3/3 checked fabric, take one color around 3 sets of pegs, then the 2nd color around the next 3 sets of pegs. Repeat across.Weaving:

Weave 3 passes with one color, then 3 with the other, repeating until all 18 sets of pegs are full.

Chain it off, and you have a 3/3 check square!

A little easier to see, when done in 2 strands of the yarn, rather than 1 strand yarn and multiple strands of crochet cotton, thread etc:

Happy Weaving!

BUT! NO! don’t copy pictures or text- it’s such a lot of work to do this, and it’s just not fair to ‘lift’ it.

thanks a million!
