WEAVING: Looms for Kids

POT-HOLDER LOOMS & LOOPERS
Hook loopers (slices of socks) in one direction across the square frame and weave through in the other. The woven square is finished by pulling the end of each loop through the next—the last one forms a hanger. Traditionally, these are pot-holders; but they can also be sewn together to make mats or afghans. We have two versions; a plastic one, and a heavier-duty metal one (from Harrisville) that come with enough loopers to make several potholders. Both include basic instructions. Loopers are available separately, cotton or wool (not cheap, but especially nice).
INCH WORMS
A sturdy, carefully crafted version of the old classic; essentially 3, 4 or 5 pegs set into a wooden spool. Wrap yarn on and work it off to produce a knitted cord.
LITTLE HANDWEAVER BACKSTRAP LOOM
11 popsicle-sticks and the slots between hold 21 warp ends. The warp is tied from the weaver to something a few feet away. Comes with two shuttles, shed-stick, tie-up cords, pre-cut warp, and two balls of weft yarn. A very accessible starting place. Six inch weaving width.

BEKA RIGID HEDDLE CHILD’S WEAVING LOOMS These looms hold unwoven warp wrapped around a flat board at the far end. Finished work is pulled forward and clamped between two square rods. Comes fully warped and with the weaving begun. Also a great bead-loom, padded with a little foam. Comes in two sizes, 4 inches wide (at left) or 10 inches wide (at right). The larger size comes with two heddles, 4 and 10 inches wide.

HARRISVILLE LAP LOOMS (picture at left) Recommended for children 7 and up. This a simple and very portable frame loom. It comes with a stick shuttle, a shed stick and an instruction booklet. Threads are hand-manipulated. Two sizes available. HARRISVILLE PEG LOOM (picture at right) For ages 5 and up. Comes with everything needed for a first project. Hardwood loom, cotton warp thread, wool weft yarn, plastic needle and illustrated instructions. Slanted pegs help to keep yarn from slipping

Maysville 8/4 Carpet Warp (see "Yarns") is a good warp for many kids' projects. Generally anything will work for weft. Also see cardweaving cards, the rope machine, inkle looms & SG rigid heddle looms.
