How to Weave
Most of us learn how to weave as children, even if we are weaving a paper placemat. The same concept translates to yarn.
When I was young, I loved weaving, so I learned the process for weaving a pouch on a cardboard loom, and I found a book that described how to make a fork loom. Now I have moved on to bigger things!
I learned to weave on a floor loom in 2004 through a class with Gwen Handler at Common Ground on the Hill.
