How to WEAVE using an IKEA LOOM (Ikea Lustigt Hack for beginners!)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

After finding out Ikea sells a weaving loom in their toy section, I knew I needed to put it to the test. The IKEA Lustigt loom comes at a much more affordable price than looms you may find on Amazon, so it makes it a great choice for beginners.
I will walk you through unboxing and how to assemble the loom, string the warp, and three basic weaving techniques: plain weave, soumak weave and pile weave. I'll weave with regular yarn, chunky yarn and wool roving. Finally, I give a review of how I think this IKEA product works.
Then this video is part of some Ikea hacks I'll be posting soon, so stay tuned!

    I'm so lucky to have bought this loom today for £4 at a Charity shop. I'm looking forward to starting some weaving.

    Gorgeous. Thanks for the instructions. My grandmother had a LARGE loom and I have always wanted to learn weaving. This looks like the perfect way to start.

    Alli, thank you so much for sharing this amazing video. I never ever imagined doing this thing in my life till I bought it from IKEA for my students to have a go with weaving. Your video saved our day as I was an absolute rookie. Thank you for the practical advise on how to do a footer and the use of a ruler, a dowel and using all kinds of yarn. God bless you dear. What a generous heart you have!

    Found this loom new in box at a second hand store for $10. Thanks for the tutorial! I had started it with the included thread... wondering now if I should scrap it and start over. The including gold thread does stretch, for sure.

    Hi! The purpose is to give you some extra length on the warp strings to remove the weaving and then tie it off nicely at the end
