Triangle Loom
Karen Witt We had such a great turnout today!
We all enjoyed Karen's presentation. She brought a variety of loom sizes, and some lovely pieces she has finished and some she is working on. She gave very clear instructions how to start a project and the steps we take to finish it. We had the opportunity to work on the loom, and were amazed at how easy Karen's directions were to follow. Her keen eyes caught the little mistakes we didn't know we had. No worry she showed us little tricks on how to fix them. |
Karen brought some great samples-This one is completed
Give Karen a skein of orange yarn and a skein of red, and she is ready to go.
|
Two triangles woven on her large loom, then joined together to make a shawl.
|
She actually wove this piece with the two yarns at the same time and also decided to add a strand of metallic thread in the mix.
See the sparkle? |
This is a piece still in the works.
Comparing the size of the weave still in the loom, to one that has been taken off.
You need to keep this in mind when you select your loom size. The finished piece will be smaller. |
Finished weaving
There are several sources for looms on the internet, but Sunflower is no longer in business. |
Now we carefully remove it from the loom.

And What Is This?? |
|
She is a knitting machine!
How she is able to knit her intricate, delicate lace pieces with so much going on around her is beyond comprehension. |

Look what Karen Stakely drug in....
None of us had ever heard of Scrubby yarn, but here it is. You have to feel it to believe it. It is a little scratchy and feels like it is coated with a film of rubber. Perfect for knitting dish cloths for scrubbing. If you make a hat with it, it might cling to your head and never come off. Of course it might shed water! Maybe a sweater for that Couch Potato, they would never slide off the sofa if they fell asleep. |
