[NFB-Krafters-Korner] looms and weaving

[Kaila Allen]

I’ve done some leaving but it was on a giant weaving loom thing. I am not sure it’s even called a loom. It was out of school but I would absolutely love to find a way to do it at home. I found it very enjoyable.

Thank you, 

Kaila

> 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.

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.
