  • I really am amazed just how much activity this little video has made. I literally used it for 10 minutes and then my girlfriend took over to finish the piece which is the only thing we ever made on the loom before getting a much larger loom.

    The Heedle is made out of coffee stir sticks with holes drilled in the middle.

    I gave the loom to my niece but I am not sure if she has put it to use yet.

  • @helnoSA how many sticks did u use? thanks..planning to make my own

  • @NingasKugon09 There are four rods, two at each end and the yarn wraps around them to take up the excess.

  • It would have made a good video MUCH better if there had been a voice over explaining what you were doing

  • I love how you open your shed so wide! Wonderful demo! Thanks
