How to Bias-Weave on the Zoom Loom – TexasGabi's Blog

So I did sit down and weave a square in the corner. It actually went better than any went before which can be seen by the end of this post. So here goes. I am assuming that you have read the last t…

Another stash busting project is finished. I made a pin loom blanket of a lot of the smaller skeins and balls of handspun yarn in my stash.

Monday really should have been a bad day. I had to take my car in for unexpected repairs (urgh… the combination of those two words is always the worst, right?) and I ended up spending nearly six hours waiting for it to be finished. And then to top it off, I realised that as I...

Occasionally, pin-loom weavers ask if they can weave a triangle on a Zoom loom, and the answer is yes. There are actually different ways to achieve the goal, but when I’m asked directly, I pr…

Ravelry is a community site, an organizational tool, and a yarn & pattern database for knitters and crocheters.

I made a few of these woven coasters with the Zoom Loom a while ago and I thought it would be fun to show you how I made them. When you weave a square with the Zoom Loom, you will notice that the woven fabric looks like a grid pattern. I thought it would be neat to cross stitch a design on it. After a few trial and errors, I got the results I wanted. I found that using a thinner yarn for the cross stitching looked way better than if I used the same weight I wove with. When I tried it with…

Although I like Schacht’s new Zoom Loom very much, there is a better way to join squares together than the one shown. Each square upon completion has two tails: a short one at the place where…

Pin looms are, in many ways, defined by their size. The fact that they are small supports their capacity to offer convenience, portability and ease of use. However the fact that we are always producing small patches of fabric leads to the number one burning topic among pin loom weavers, how to join them together. Which leads to my introduction of John Mullarkey. You have likely heard his name. John is the weaver who worked with the Schacht Spindle Co. to design the Zoom Loom. This is a link…

I sat down again yesterday and wove squares together trying to make it look better and make decisions about those short corners. I did come up with a third bit of advice though while doing it. Advi…

Do you wonder what else your pin loom can do? Have you hit a creative roadblock with your pin-loom weaving? Would you like to join pin-loom-woven squares to make rich and interesting projects? There’s an answer for you, and any pin-loom weaver interested in going beyond plain weave: patterns. Using your standard square pin-loom kit, basic pick-up sequences, and a little help from a knowledgeable teacher, you can discover the joy and potential of weaving patterns. If that sounds…

So I bought myself a little zoom loom, just to see if I would like weaving. I do! I've been playing and experimenting with a few different things, just stuff I have in my stash that I'm not using, some VC, some other stuff. Just for fun, here are my results. These pictures are awful, can't do it justice. iPhone pictures, and used my computer to edit them down 50% so they wouldn't be giant here. IRL these squares are really nice to look at and soft to hold, though way much thinner than…

WEEK ONE Amber from the Facebook Pin Loom Weaving Support Group we host a weekly weave-along and she asked me to spearhead the project. I’ve never done a needlework-along before, but I said …
