Pin It! Well, sorta...
An easy way to start weaving!
Weaving is great fun, and there are lots of ways to get started weaving, but one of the easiest and fastest ways is to weave with a pin loom.
There are several sizes and types that make everything from squares to rectangles and even hexagons. They weave up really quickly! You can learn how in just 5 minutes!
Want to see more - Gabi from Turtle Looms will be here on Saturday, Aug 25 to show you her pin looms and pin loom projects!
Here are some pin loom projects we found on Ravelry and Pinterest:
Square Loom (Zoom Loom):
Triangle Loom (some are small, some are LARGE)
Hexagon Loom
