Peg looming - Arts and Crafts

A loom is a device used to weave cloth. Any loom's basic purpose is to hold the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads.

With this technique I had:

One peg board with ten pegs

Wool

Needle

Scissors

Ruler

I took the scissors and cut 30 cm of wool. I cut this up ten times, then tied each strand to the bottom of each peg.

I then began weaving the other colour of thread through the pegs; under and over. I had to make sure to keep tightening the thread as I went, so it wouldn't unravel later on.

I carried this on until it began building up.

If you want, whilst weaving, you can change colours half way through.

Eventually, the pegs will be almost covered by the thread.

Once I'd worked my way up to the top of each peg, I gently pulled it off of the pegs, then tied each loose white thread at the bottom.
