[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hexagon and Square hot pad looms

[Annette Carr]

Back in the 70's when I was attending residential school for the blind, we
made placemats using this technique on a rectangle shaped loom.  There was
also a square loom around 15 or 18 inches in size.  I have a pillow cover I
made using this loom.  We wrapped the yarn around the pegs of the loom like
Dixie described, and then tied a piece of yarn around each yarn
intersection.  Then we snipped half of the strands between each tied
intersection.  This made a pompom effect at each intersection.  The finished
yarn mat was then sewn onto a cloth pillow cover.

I had forgotten all about this type of loom.  I've got to say, I did not
like having to tie up all of the yarn  intersections.

This is not the pot holders made with the loops.  I made those as a child.
This one I am talking about is made with yarn.  The yarn is wrapped around
the loom, using the loom as a frame.  After several layers of the yarn has
been wrapped on the loom there is a windowpane effect.  Then a piece of yarn
is used to tie each intersection of the windowpanes in order to secure it.

When you take the hot pad off the loom it has a square of squares with a
sort of scalloped edge around the outside of the grid.

Dixey;

Are they actually made of yarn or they stretchy loops?  Joyce did a class on
the pot holder loom, where you use the streachy loops.  Kids used to make
them, all the time!.

Does anyone know how to make the hexagon placemats and square hot pads on
the looms?
 
I have some I picked up years ago at a church fair and would love to make
some new ones.
 
They are layers of different colors of yarn in a grid and there are loops
around the outside edge.
