Thank you, bought a pot holder kit at a thrift store for my grandchildren. No loom just a box of loops and the hook. I don't want to pay $15 for a plastic loom. When my sister and I ran out of loops in the late 60's early 70's, we used old socks and they cut in continuous loops and for the most part, we used old cotton socks.(we did mend socks but sometimes the toes of the sock got darned too many times so we used them for potholder loops)

Gosh, do I remember that loom! My poor mom must have had a gazillion poorly made pots holders!!! But, I had so much fun with it. Little did I know i would wind up really enjoy weaving so much as an adult!- maybe that potholder loom is the reason?

These go way back before the 70s. Did these in the 60s, and my mom said she did it too, when she was little. Our frames had to be constructed, built out of metal and required screws and getting a proper 90° angle in each corner. That took a while for sure. Your loom is awesome. I just bought a loom for my 3 year old granddaughter, and though I did most of the process, she chose every color and helped hooking the loops in the first direction. She was so proud of it she took it to bed with her!

Buongiorno mi sono appena iscritta e volevo ringraziarti per le tue spiegazioni chiare e precise, era tanto che volevo provare questa arte di tessitura ma come dicevi i loop costano veramente tanto ....fuori dalla mia portata,ma ora grazie a Te posso provare con i filati.Un grazie anche per aver condiviso come costruire il proprio telaio e questa sarà la prima cosa che farò. Un grande saluto dall'Italia ciao Gaby❣ Ps. il tuo blog è stupendo.

Thanks Gaby! 🥰

Still use t-shirt material for a pro loom of 10" cut pieces of t-shirt 2" wide and 8" length. Fold in half lengthways wise and cut centre of material leaving 3/4" on outside end uncu. Then round off corners and you have a loop without seams to use on your pot holder loom .

Thank you for your lovely video!

Another option for loops, go to a thrift store and try to find long-sleeve T-shirts (straight sleeves are best!). Cut the sleeves in 1cm strips, starting at the cuff. The tube of the sleeve will create the loop. Sleeves with a wider shoulder will make larger loops as you move up the sleeve. The body of the shirt can then be cut into wide strips, joined into another tube, then also sliced into loops.
