There are two modern looms tucked in this collection—a10” square loom and a 4” Hazel Rose multi loom. All the rest are vintage. Yes, there were a few memorable years where I visited thrift and antique stores and my eyes were always scanning shelves, boxes, and corners looking for these little treasures.
About four years ago, I bought a jumbo potholder loom and loopers from Homestead Weaving Studio. I wove a bathmat, quickly bought ten more pounds of loops, and then just as quickly stashed it away in my closet. Fast forward several years, and I’m using up some of the loopers with this new bathmat. The other one still looks great, but I like this color and design better.
I probably have eight pounds left. What to make next?
More from the jumbo potholder loom:
Stripes, checkerboards, plaids…
Fun to look at, easy to make, the simplest weaving offers endless variety.
I bought a 10″ potholder loom kit and some additional loopers. The loops are cotton and appear to be remnants from socks. The loom is simple but sturdy. It’s all from Homestead Weaver, and I love it.
I’ll have a giant stack of potholders when all is said and done, or perhaps I’ll stitch them together and make a rug.
Either way, I’m having so much fun weaving.
