​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

Picture
Give Karen a skein of orange yarn and a skein of red, and she is ready to go.
Picture
Two triangles woven on her large loom, then joined together to make a shawl.
Picture
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.

Picture
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.


Picture
Finished weaving
​There are several sources for looms on the internet, but Sunflower is no longer in business.

Picture
Now we carefully remove it from the loom.

Now it is our turn . . . . . .

Picture

This is the loom

Exa gets a chance to see first hand one of Karen's looms.

Getting Started

Row 1 and Row 2 woven onto the loom
Picture

And repeat.......

We keep adding rows and weaving across as we go.

Karen Stakely

Look at her go.
​She has an unusual source for her yarn.

Lori Torres

She is on a roll with her lovely green yarn.

Linda Walters

With a small loom I was able to finish my weave. After I finish the edges, I will remove it.

Then we have Mary Smith

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.
