Potholder Looms and Loops
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.
