How to weave a wall hanging without a loom.

In this post learn 3 basic weaving pattern techniques which will help you create an array of different wall hangings. Use a fork instead of a beater some scrap piece of wood or cardboard as a shuttle and a dowel as a shedding stick. To attach your weaving to your stick you will need to create a series of overhand knots. Also if you are working with thicker yarn don t be afraid to forget about your weaving shuttle and tapestry needle and just start using your hands.

When you are done attach your wall hanging to the dowel by threading yarn through the top of the mesh and tying it to the dowel. Learning to weave is not hard at all. Take your first two warp threads and tie them in an overhand knot leaving a loop for the wood to be threaded through. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Continue to create these loops across the top. Place the dowel at the top of the hanging. You can diy your own weaving loom for a few dollars and purchase some yarn at your craft store to make this beauty. However if you ve been dying to make your own textural weave and don t want to spend five hours sitting down to make one this tutorial is for you.

Thread your needle with a length of yarn a then stitch the dowel and the wall hanging together. Using chunky yarns and these specific stitches you can fill your loom in less than half the time it usually takes to make a medium wall hanging. Pull the end through the loop to create a tassel. Thread it through a hole and then back through the hole below holding on to the end so it doesn t come all the way through.
