The Tiny Looms



After weaving the "Ohio Star" patchwork throw, I did a lot of looking at quilt blocks and trying to figure out what I could make with my 7 inch looms. I really wanted to do some clothing but the looms were pretty big. So I asked the vendor to make me some that were half the size (3.5 inches). They are great. I have used them for many items but the biggest one so far is the poncho pictured here. This is alpaca and one yarn in an alpaca silk blend. Most of this is squares but there are some triangles too. It took about a year and a half to weave and put together. They loved the idea so much they made this size loom part of their standard product line, along with 14 inch looms.
