Peg Loom Weave...

How I Did It...

This is a weave where you have a set of pins standing up and you have wool or yarn going through the little holes at the bottom. You then tie the ends in doubles. Next you select wool, yarn, material and thread it in between each pin creating figures of eight. Once you get to the top you then pull up each pin through the fabric making sure all the material is attached together. Once all the pins are removed you cut the string and then tie a triple knot so that the material does not become undone. I really enjoyed this technique because you can create large pieces of fabric like rugs. Its the easiest technique out of all of them. Health and safety: be careful when pulling out the pegs because you have to pull them quite hard.
