I’m not sure why some things that are obvious to others aren’t so obvious to me. Here’s what I learned about weaving on the rigid-heddle loom that surprised me but wasn’t surprising.
One of my goals when creating each issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms is that the projects are diverse enough that folks can build their skills by weaving through them. The 2020 issue is no exception.
I felt that same joy when I got to explore London, Denver, and other big cities. So when we needed a third “place” themed-project section for our 2019 issue of Little Looms, I knew it had to be one that paid homage to the city.
With this issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, I invite you to put down the phone, turn down the static, and find a reason to take a trip to (or with!) your loom.
Is anyone else like this? I am an absolute sucker for sparkly yarns. If it has sequins, glitter, or just an overall metallic look, I want it.
The hand-manipulated techniques used in the Tiny Bubbles Shawl may be challenging for weavers who haven’t worked Danish medallions before. Consider working a generous sample or a simple project before beginning the handwoven shawl.

One of the many joys of rigid-heddle weaving is how much easier it is to do fun hand-manipulated techniques such as pick-up. Pick-up lets you create beautiful patterns and textures in you weaving.
I love randomly colored warps and have actually wondered how it would be to weave with embroidery thread on the rigid-heddle loom. (I wonder about all kinds of things!)
There’s no doubt that rigid-heddle looms offer lots of opportunities for beginning weavers, and so does this issue.
