[NFB-Krafters-Korner] looms and weaving

[Courtney F. Smith]

There are a few looms that come to mind that can be set up for weaving. There is the Martha Stewart loom & weaving set. I do not own this loom, but do have accessible instructions if you need them. The next is a knitting loom that can be set up as a weaving loom. It is either 42” or 48”. I have this loom, but have not used it as a weaving loom.  It is by Authentic Knitting Board. I think I purchased mine from Joann.com. The next loom is a beading loom. I have one of these also, but have not used it. That one would probably be better used with the thinner yarn if you want to pursue using thinner yarns in the future.

I will play around with some of my other adjustable looms & see if I think they might could be used as weaving looms as well.

Thanks for the question & the challenge!

Hi, all, I don't remember if I've asked this question on here or not, but I
really really want to learn to weave items like bookmarks, belts,
potholders, dishcloths, placemats, and maybe wall hangings. I have heard of
a few looms but know nothing about them. What is a good starter loom that
is a little more sophisticated than a potholder kkids' loom? I have almost
no help with instruction reading and getting started. I want to hopefully
work with one strand of cotton or acrylic worsted weight yarn like sugar and
cream or red heart. I don't want to use super thin or super bulky yarn.
Any guidance and/or suggestions as to how I can accomplish this lifetime
goal and ambition that I have wanted to do since age seven to 10 would be
most greatly appreciated. I will have to order online or by mail or phone
as there are no stores around that carry things like this. I have been to
hobby lobby and we are going to get a JoAnn''s Fabric and craft store here
eventually but it has not opened yet. Thanks for any help or guidance and
advice. I already know how to crochet, needle knit, loom knit, weave with a
potholder loom, latchhook, and a small amount of plastic canvas stitching.
Thanks and have a blessed day.
