Wonder Weave Loom

[debbienvwyoutub]

This is like Kain Tenun Traditional in Indonesia

[veramiriammartins]

Cute! I think all forms of cloth making is addictive, at least it is like that for me. I just love the idea of getting a piece of string, and by making knots and loops and whatever, you transform it into something wearable or decorative. It is pure magic and mankind have been doing it ever since it came into existence. It's absolutely wonderful to see that even leaves, strings of natural fibre, strip lears of trees can be worked the same way. man's creative knows no bounds.

Where can I get one of those?

[Wiegieboard]

I've just found another method to weave my slings :) Thank you!

[OspreyWife]

Just got one of these on eBay for $5, can't wait to use it!

[DiamondFox420]

Where can I find the loom?

[fredycasilla]

ja ja ja.weaving squares can be addicting

[PeytonSalyards]

where can u buy this

[ketchupwitheverythin]

Everything in miniature - and its such a stable structure too !

[1CaptainAustralia1]

You should be a hand model :D

[pop41us]

How do you join those together please?

[KniftyKnitter]

@pop41us Hi. You can either crochet them together. Even better is sewing them.

[pop41us]

@KniftyKnitter Thank you very much.. That was really helpful.

[veramiriammartins]

Really enjoyed your video and got a good laugh at end with the final coment about the adctiviness of it. I have a loom, similar. It is a child's toy that I bought in England in car boot sale. I can make long strips of fabric with it. Your right it is adictive and great fun. I can see your favourite color is blue. well done.

[Greencat7]

Would it be possible to crochet the little loops once you take it off? Kind of the way you do on the old pot holder looms.

[KniftyKnitter]

@Greencat7 Yes, you could join the squares with crochet. You could also sew them.

[highhoilya]

Thank you for sharing this. I'm seriously amused right now - I found 2 table looms at a thrift store yesterday and found - and watched - your video last night while I was trying to figure out how they work. This morning I was looking in the drawers in my mom's house for yarn to experiment with, and found two of these little Wonder Weave looms (with no instructions). I just finished making my first square (out of a randomly identical shade of green junk yarn to the one you used in your video)!

[mlgprotipsy]

YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND

[Ritercrazy]

Love it. Good video. Would love to have a loom.

[auntmehitable]

I "inherited" one of these looms from my grandmother (no instructions with it), and was able to find another one (with instructions) on eBay......I really enjoyed your video & am hoping that I have the patience to make things on it...

Just out of curiosity; How long does it take you to do 1 square? I'm assuming it's much quicker now that you're experienced:)

Thanks again for this video!

[KniftyKnitter]

@auntmehitable It takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, but then you need to have the inspiration and energy to make something from the little squares. Although, who ever said there's anything wrong with a stack of little squares?

[auntmehitable]

@KniftyKnitter

Nothing wrong at all with a stack of squares....at some point in time, they'll come in handy for something, I'm sure.

Thanks for your answer....I appreciate it!

[tehshadowpaladin]

@KniftyKnitter

Sounds like quilt material!

[valentinaarroyo]

Hola quiero saber donde puedo conseguir este telar y si tienen el telar de mariposa gracias.

[KniftyKnitter]

@valentinaarroyo Hi! I have never used a butterfly loom but have seen them for sale online and in stores. This loom is not for sale in stores, just at antique shops.

[faithm]

wow i finally understand how a loom works, haha

[ccoraxfan]

When I was a kid I used one of these looms to make potholders. It's an effective loom, but very slow and tedious compared with a more traditional loom. Anyway, this brings back memories!

[MsBananabutt]

Do they come in bigger sizes?

[KniftyKnitter]

@MsBananabutt No, this particular loom is only a 4" loom, but you can buy other larger rigid heddle looms, like the Schacht Cricket which weaves 11" wide. You can also buy other larger-sized square looms.

[sofiasali]

where i can have this wonder weave loom?

[KniftyKnitter]

@sofiasali This particular loom is only available second hand from antique stores or ebay.

[frenchie1146]

What symphony is this? It sounds so familiar.

[asmagohary]

@KniftyKnitter how can i get this one in Egypt ?

[theOSBOURNES]

i can weave so much better with just my 2 Hands

[webkinz7172]

u should take all those squares and sew them into a blanket

[KniftyKnitter]

@webkinz7172 I've seen some blankets online. I can't imagine how long that would take!

[sonia7099]

donde puedo adquirir uno de esos

[KniftyKnitter]

@sonia7099 Try ebay or an antique store.

[KniftyKnitter]

@mrsthursday I caught it! I'm nearly "vintage" myself. :)

[IrisHanniwu]

Wow!!! I want one!!!

[TulipWife]

What do you do with the squares?

[mikaneo]

@TulipWife you can make them different colors and sew them together to make like a bag or something

[KniftyKnitter]

@TulipWife If you google "eloomanation" you'll get some ideas--everything from blankets to clothing, if you have the patience.

[SecretAirY]

this is great.. that loom you're using is one i've seen about in craft stores, i think. i wondered how sturdy and workable it was. probably a good start for tabletop weaving ya think?

[KniftyKnitter]

@SecretAirY If you're really interested in weaving, you may want to look into a rigid heddle loom. You can warp it to make something longer, like a scarf. This little loom can only make a 4" square.

[asmagohary]

@KniftyKnitter how can i get this one in Egypt ?

[Aussiemoo]

@asmagohary

You're in a land famous for it's fine cotton textiles and you want a tiny hobby loom? I'm sure there's a rich history of craft weaving right outside your door!

[AkIsUkIro]

omg. i hav this music on my ipod. nd those things look soooooo cute!

[Lonestar371973]

Thats cool

[Commandos12]

sacrebleu...

[anjelikapickles]

wowsers... requires alot of patience.... :)

[kalukalu3322]

But it's all worth it!

[MsOrlandos]

love this, im making a blanket weaving little pieces like this together, its very theraputic

[PeytonSalyards]

@MsOrlandos where can u buy this

[Igaaboo]

The music made this hilarious to me...

[tigladd]

2:37 Ouch!

[michilee8]

often people weave squares to eventually connect them into a large quilt type blanket... or in some cases.. they just like squares i guess.. looks very nice.

[ngocmaibui]

I'm really tempted to say that you have no life weaving a bunch of four inch square.... but deep down I think it looks fun

[RyanfaeScotland]

Wow I could not be bothered with that but I can see that it would be quite relaxing if you had the patients for it.

[mrsthursday]

I love it it's so neat. However, I do object to the suggestion that something made in 1964 is vintage. Groan.lol.

[seraphinapandora]

MrsThursday, it could be vintage. Vintage is just something outmoded, so if this loom is no longer in popular use today, then it's okay to call it vintage.

[sephiroth87932]

hi how would you make the square large like how would you add on more rope to make say a scarf or hat? thanks for the upload =)

[KniftyKnitter]

You make a bunch of 4" squares, and then stitch them together. There are patterns for clothes, hats, and afghans. Thanks!

[EyalSpirit]

Nice :)

[lunahawk3]

where can we buy this new toy?

[KniftyKnitter]

Alas, they're no longer "new." I found mine in an antique store for about $6.00 (US).

[ravygirl96]

Oh that is so cool if you sew all of those squares together you can make a quilt!!! :)

[musical095]

lol, just what i was thinking! =D

[Babietookie]

LMAO ahhhaaahahah crazy cat women

[kendy4]

whats that song called lol

[KniftyKnitter]

It's from Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E flat major.

[turtle0568]

That's neat! I like the idea of that and it looks easy too.

[Fireball870]

can you turn those squares into like a little pouch or what can you turn them into??

[KniftyKnitter]

I made a hat with 13 squares, and now I'm working on a blanket.

[RedKhandro]

show uns what you do with the sqares! A blanket?

[KniftyKnitter]

I made a hat with the blue squares. Patterns can be found if you google "Weave-it patterns". Weave-it was the name of the 4" loom popular back in the 1930s and 1940s. Thanks for asking!

[jazolivia]

Crud...yet another gizmo that I've never seen before and want!

[lacefreak]

I just went onto E-Bay and bought one of these. I love your video. It's very clear and makes it look like such fun I had to have one of my own. Thanks!

[KniftyKnitter]

I found mine at a thrift store for about $6. The rigid heddle makes it a neat little loom to use. Have fun with yours!

[stoopidu1]

Thanks for the video! Now I need a Wonder Weave Loom of my own.
