Any yarn can be used for weaving, given the right project and tools. Therein lies the challenge! This yarn, so unsuitable as warp on a floor loom, makes a lively and colorful fabric when handled carefully on a 10" rigid-heddle loom.

Any yarn can be used for weaving, given the right project and tools. Therein lies the challenge! This yarn, so unsuitable as warp on a floor loom, makes a lively and colorful fabric when handled carefully on a 10" rigid-heddle loom.
Recycled sari silk yarn is composed of threads recycled from weaving sari fabrics. This highly textured, heavy yarn, which sometimes has large slubs and knots, is generally considered to be everything that is “not a weaving yarn.” The soumak wrapping makes textured ridges on the surface of the woven fabric, which bloom and fuzz in the finishing process. Sometimes the weaving moves along smoothly, sometimes there are hang-ups, but a rigid-heddle loom transforms this “not for weaving” yarn into a colorful insert for a luscious leather tote.
Mix it up with blends that showcase fibers and your weaving at their best.

Take a trip to the Middle Ages without leaving your loom.
Explore innovative projects that show it’s hip to be square.
Almost as long as there have been people, there have been stories to explain the world and entertain. In this issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, we’re translating some of our favorite folk and fairy tales from around the world into a language we all love: weaving!
Weaving is twice as nice when you combine techniques to create projects that go beyond ordinary.
Whip up tempting towels, terrific table toppers, and more with this issue inspired by food and cooking.
The opening of the farmers’ market signals spring for many of us. Visit yours in style with this hemp tote that combines leno and plain weave for lacy holes to let your veggies and fruit breathe. Weave a strap using the same hemp and you’ll have a machine-washable bag that is both useful and pretty.
Towels are like candy for weavers: fun and quick to make, endlessly useful, and a quick way to try a new technique—in this case, simple inlay.
