Primary Weaving

Another way to do weaving on cardboard loom.
This is how I teach weaving to very young children (Kindergarten and 1st grade). This also shows how I like to display a finished work and the often asked HOW TO CUT WEAVING OFF LOOM?

I don't know what you mean?



[taylli]

I use my arm to measure the length of each yarn when we run out of color that we are still using we just get more of that color. Adding more is very easy the the ends won't show. My students don't use shuttles, but you can one if you want.

Hey taylli but what if you want to remove the thing you wove on the warp strings?

Taylli, Love the videos for primary and cardboard loom weaving. A few questions: If you make a sketch and plan a design, how do you figure how much weft yarn for particular sections? Do you cut and wrap the weft yarn around a "shuttle" to make it easier with longer pieces? Also, if you ran out of a weft color before you finished a section, how would you add the additional piece? Do you use a stick to lift the warp strings up off the cardboard or is it not needed?

Thanks in advance for your reply

Looks like fun, Taylli, I am always intrigued by crafts I can try out with materials I have in my home. Thank you for the tutorial:)

Great vid--I will definitely be trying this out with my kids. Thanks!

(BTW, a band called Night Wish does an excellent version of this song)
