1. Assembly

The weaving frame will fit together
very easily. No need for nails or
screws.
Slide the short ends into the long
ends. Make sure the long shallow
groove is to the outside.

3. Starting To Weave

Take a narrow piece of cardboard.
Weave through the threads. Push
it to the bottom of the loom. Now
you can begin weaving. Weave the
first row of weaving against the
cardboard.

4. Make small butterflies

This is used instead of a shuttle, when using many colours. The yarn automatically unwinds from the centre as you weave.
1 To make a butterfly, first place the end
between the middle and ring finger of
either hand leaving a tail.

2 Keeping your fingers slightly spread,
stack the revolutions one on top of
another.

2. Threading

Lie the loom on a table. Decide the
width you will weave. Tie a knot to
secure. Take a thread across the
loom around other end. Continue
backwards and forwards until width
is correct. Note: Do not make warp
too tight. Tie a knot to secure and
cut the thread.
3 Leave the last wrap loose and slip the
end of the yarn through the loop, then
pull the end until it is snug.
