Weaving on a Cardboard Triangle Loom - Tutorials!

[Blue_Frog]

Hi All - i've been doing these for a little while now, and made up some instructions for a workshop i was teaching ... and i thought that i'd share with you all!

It's an easy and cheap loom to make, made from cardboard, straight pins, and duct tape, and makes a triangle scarf measuring about 34" x 34" x 48".

They take a few hours, but speed up once you've made a couple. The tutorials are written in PDF form, so please feel free to download and give them a try!

Wow!!

I have always wanted to weave a shawl but I figured you needed a lot of fancy equipment. I am in the process of moving so I have plenty of cardboard. I am going to make this for a Mother's Day present for my Grandma. Thanks so much for the tutorial!!

That is incredible that was made on cardboard. Thank you for sharing the links, and the shawl is so pretty.

Thanks everyone 

I wrote the instructions up for a course i was teaching a few weekends ago (see the attached PDF files), and it was a flying success - the instructions may be a little overkill in detail, but i write manuals for a living so i've become pretty anal retentive in my writing these days
