Tutorial: How to weave a placemat on the Lily Speed-o-weave loom: 3
Tie on the shuttle thread.
FLIP the loom over, and bring the shuttle up through the space between the crossed yarn strands.
Take the shuttle down, leaving a loop of thread on the surface.
Each intersection will be tied 3 times.
Bring the shuttle up, through the loop.
Tighten the thread, pass the shuttle down through the next set of yarn pairs at the same intersection, leaving a loop of yarn on the surface. Bring the shuttle up and through the loop of yarn. Repeat with the third pair of yarn strands at the same intersection. Then, move along to the next intersection.
You will move in a continuous spiral around the loom, tieing 3 half hitch knots at each intersection to secure it.
When you finish tying off all the intersections,
weave the yarn ends in and out of the yarn along the sides of the loom.
*Insert the hook into the loops at the first peg, yarn over the hook, pull through the loops on the peg, yarn over again, and through both loops on hook, yarn over, pull through both loops on hook, insert hook between loom and yarn strands on outside of loom between first and second peg. Yarn over, pull up, yarn over, pull through all loops on hook, Yarn over, pull up, yarn over, pull through both loops on hook* Repeat from * to * around loom.
Lift off the loom…… Voila! The table mat is done!
These two table mats are the perfect size for a bistro size table.
Enjoy!

Once again, you have led me down another fiber path! When you are tying, do you hold the loom pegs down? Would you consider a video tutorial like you did for potholder looms?
You are right about “no skill required” and reading the instructions from 1940!

Hi Cindy
The Lily Speed o weave looms are wonderful, aren’t they?
And, yes, indeed, I do have video tutorials planned.
