Our new interest is making potholders! Except we won't be using them as potholders. They will be rugs for small stuffed animals.
At the present time, we have a couple of plastic looms but plastic tends to break as we found with our last spool knitter. Soon we will be investing in a wooden loom with notches for our weaving projects.
Potholder looms require loops made of cotton blend cloth. The colors that came with the looms were not particularly pretty so I thought that cutting up old tights might work. And they did. I cut up an old pair of pink tights -- the legs cut horizontally make perfect loops for the looms.
There are no photos of the pink loops (or the rugs) yet.
