I had a bit of spare time on the weekend and thought I would try my hand at this weaving caper....


I knocked together a crude 50 thread loom for the grand total of $4 and set to work...


As you can see from the original picture the weave came out a little stretched and there are a couple of mistakes here and there but overall Im pretty happy with it

Thats pretty sweet. Is it harder than crosswrapping? I am wanting to give it a try.

Geoff; Looks really good. One thing that might help you..Turn the loom arms so they angle across the rod and it will cut down the amount of spread making it easier to keep your threads aligned with the blank axis. What does the weave mean?

Thanks all


Its an "Ohm" symbol which is the name of my boat. In Buddhism "Ohm" is the sound that was made at the begining of the universe... or the original sound


Russell - Not sure if its harder than crosswrapping.... I haven't tried it yet


Jim - Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like I will have to make loom mkII
