Need to know How to Build a Peg Loom: kzbin.info/www/bejne/habbpqFor6maY5o

[@JeanBowman0365]

My husband just retired and needs a hobby. He will make the loom for me, but I'll bet my bottom dollar he takes over. Its a win-win!! Love your tutorials.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I love that!! I learned how to do the Peg loom from our neighbor, he loves weaving and has made beautiful items. So many projects, so little time!

[@victoriasueify]

There is a youtube video in which volunteers make plastic sleeping mats for the homeless using the thin plastic grocery bags and a 30 inch peg loom.

[@ginenelafontaine8343]

Oh my gosh, I just realized that I could make rugs out of the yardage I have left from the upholstery fabric I had for my antique shop! I hated to waste all of that nice fabric. So glad that I subscribed earlier and spent late afternoon today watching your videos. I think it is so great that you and your husband work as a team.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wonderful! Totally made my day! Enjoy your new projects!!😊

[@leal536]

I have never woven anything to speak of!! I suppose when I was a child, I did the woven potholders but...I saw this on a Pinterest board but there was no information at all other than it was a peg loom. So, I searched here on KZbin and found your channel. I really want to make a Peg Loom and start using up my fabric stash!!! This looks so easy. Thank you.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Have fun - I really have fun with this loom!!

[@Prpldy15]

I can't wait to make a peg loom. I love yo weave, just don't have the room for a large loom. Love your channel.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you!! Have fun!

[@susanarmstrong6165]

I absolutely love your videos. You are so thorough, you go slow enough to follow, video is close enough to see every detail. And you are very pleasant to listen to. I cant wait to start making a rug.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you so much! That totally made my day! Have fun with your projects!

[@rickstearns6560]

Thank you so much for this video...just what I needed for the fabric that I have. My husband just made me a loom and I can't wait to get started!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wonderful! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@merryanneadair4451]

I've been SO waiting for this video!! Looks awesome & eager to do this! I'm crocheting rugs for my daughter & daughters-in-law for Christmas. I'll have to wait til January to start a new project. 😌

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I would love to see pictures of your crochet rugs!! When you start this project, let me know if you have any questions.

I just got my peg loom - homemade with your instructions by a friend - and LOVE it! Your tutorial is great. Thank you.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

You are so welcome! Enjoy - let me know if you have any questions while making your project!

[@normawithers4447]

Great video. I finally understand how a peg loom works! The fabric was very dark so I couldn't see how the joining of strips works - I'll look it up. I'm gathering up fabric (old bed linen, roman blinds, etc) and looking forward to trying this once I finish painting the house interior and making new blinds. I'd love to make 2 bedside rugs for our new guest bedroom. Many thanks.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Fantastic! Yes, I noticed that my colors should have been lighter for video purposes!! I really enjoy these rugs!

[@bethfruechtl904]

Thank-you so much for your weaving videos! I just started weaving with fabric straps. I love it! Working on my first placemat ( 4 hopefully) the first one, not so perfect. It will get easier and better. I'm so excited!! THANK-YOU

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wonderful! Have fun!!

[@victoriasueify]

I got one of these for my blind 90 year old mother. Once I started the project, she was able to weve by feel, even with her arthritic hands, removing the posts and sliding her work as needed. She made scarves for everyone in the family and about 50 more that we gave to a homeless shelter in town. She loved having something useful to do.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

That is a fantastic story!!! I am inspired - appreciate you sharing!

[@Oberlinmom]

Many years ago I made woven floor pillows as a surprise for my sister. I made four pegs with holes like in the loom. Strung them with yarn and then wove the same yarn around the pegs into 3"wide and I don't recall how long strips. It was the same process as yours only I could hold it in my hand and slip the weaving down as I went. I made enough strips to do a simple over under weave to make a pillow cover sewing the strips together at the edges. It was bulky and lumpy but perfect for a pillow.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

That is fantastic - and so resourceful & creative!!! Reminds me of one of my first quilts for my brother for Christmas. I used upholstery fabric (crushed velvet mainly - my Mom owned an Upholstery shop) the quilt weighed at least 20 pounds!!

[@rhondaroberts9581]

Oh my gosh! I love love live ur videos! Every time i see another one about weaving, i become enthralled again! Love it!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wow, thank you!

[@johsheli]

[@malsoonsakit4786]

I was pleased to discover this video of making rag rugs at home. I'll make the loom for my wife to utilize the many cloth materials she has on hand. There was no mention of the spaces between the pegs. However, I think a space of one diameter and a half of the peg should be a minimum. Thanks for the explicit instructions

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Good luck, I'm sure she'll love it.

I have always enjoyed watching your weaving tutorials, Kara. You inspire me so much! My husband just finished my peg loom and I am about to get started!!!! By the way, would you be interested to make tutorials on hula hoop rug making as well as pom pom blanket weaving? I have watched a few and couldn't quite catch up with their tutorials. I am sure Ross would be great in teaching us how to make the pom pom loom. 🥰

[@revonda5204]

Thank you for this wonderful video. I bought a peg but have been unable to find clear instructions. I've watched several shorter videos but they left out lots of information. I'm now anxious to get started with all my scraps and "rags" for rugs...just as soon as gardening season ends! ☺

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Glad I could help!! They are a ball to make!

[@simonebonnefemme5058]

I watched your other loom videos. I wonder which loom you prefer and why. Thank you for the wonderful tutorials.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you!! My preference is the rug loom with the rods on the side. They make such a clean rug. The peg loom is a loose weave - super pretty - but I guess it is the tight durability of the rugs on the rod loom that is my fav.

[@gilliantempleton3253]

That is awesome! Way to go!!!

[@jagarfi]

This is amazing! You're a great teacher. Thank you so much. I've started my first peg loom rug with this video! I have a question: if I don't want any fringe, why do I need the extra two feet? I didn't quite grasp that from the video.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you!!! I added that much because running short scares me. Also you will need a fair amount to thread your ends back into your weaving. Could use less if you aren't going to do fringe.

[@jagarfi]

@@DIYOnTheHouse thank you!

[@janewhitehill8691]

Great video. Yes, you are a wonderful teacher. Question: could I hang the peg loom on the wall about waist high and then work with the rows of rug flowing downward towards the floor? Thank you.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Hmmm? I hadn't thought of that. I think your arms would get tired. I place it on the arms of my recliner and let it flow away from me. If you try the wall, let me know how it works out.

[@sagepreaumx9903]

Thank you. Your tutorials are excellent, so easy to follow. Have you tried using fish cord as a warp string? I would think it would be invisible and strong. I really like the colors in your sample project. Did you use an old flannel shirt?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I would be hesitant to use anything that you can't tie securely. I haven't worked with fish cord, can you tie it tight? The fabric was scraps of homespun fabric I had left over after a quilt. A flannel shirt would be awesome!

[@sagepreaumx9903]

Good point about not able to tie a knot securely. I guess I would either hot glue the knot or place masking tape around it.

[@pattymullin8515]

Excellent video and instructions. I have two peg looms but have only used yarn. I don't sew but I loom knit a lot and have a ton of yarn. I love your starting and ending technique of weaving through the warp first. I think it may be exactly what I need for a more stable start and finish to projects. I am excited to try this tomorrow first thing! Do you have plans for making more peg loom videos? I hope so - again, this video was excellent and your instructions were spot on. Thanks so much for posting. Best regards.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you!! I do have a pillow peg loom video that I will be posting next week - it was out of the really bulky yarn, turned out great. What size pegs does your loom have that you use yarn on?

[@austinwilloughby3439]

Great video! I bought one of these looms and had forgotten about it! What kind of string did you use to go through the pegs .Thanks so much have a great day! Marlene in SC

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Fantastic! You can use any string that fits - most of them I use a string from the hardware dept, because it is strong. Some I have used crochet thread. Have fun!

[@calmtocraft]

Hi there. Great tutorial thank you. Question, have you ever washed one of these rugs? How do they hold up?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

They don't hold up as well as the ones I weave on the wood frame looms - it worked great in a less traffic area in our bedroom. I wash it on delicate and line dry.

[@RKRo313]

If I wanted a larger rug can you connect several smaller rugs? And what would you recommend? Hand stitch them together ❤

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

This is how I join the rugs I have woven - I would use the same technique for peg loom rugs kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZzaooeZhLaDnck. Let me know how it goes!

[@Kristin5577]

Thank you! Do you put non-skid matting on the bottom/back. If so what do you use. Thank you! Kristin

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I just use the non skid shelf liner from Walmart and stitch it on in several places. I remove the liner to wash it though. Line dry

[@user-ht6gv4sg2q]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you!

[@karenreneelyles261]

Can you weave a blanket? Or is weaving only for rugs?

[@merryanneadair4451]

Would there be an advantage to clamping the loom to your table so it doesnt slide around so much on the table as you weave?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

It would have to be like a C clamp or furniture clamp, or maybe some foam shelf liner to grip. I didn't sit at a table much, I sat in my chair and had the wood on the arms of the chair.

[@jodiekingsley5181]

What type work yarn useing can you use. Normal yarn

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I used cotton crochet thread, the Sugars and Cream type. I have also used cotton twine.

[@leeruffner8179]

Hi! You mentioned having continuous fabric, but didn't say what kind of fabric you were using. I sew/quilt, and I have yet to see any that is a continuous roll. Maybe I am confused about what you mean? Thanks

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Sorry for the confusion!! When doing a peg loom project, it is best to prepare all of your fabric by joining them end to end, in one continuous ball, so that you don't have to stop and start while weaving. In this one I used a polycotton that I had left over from some curtains. Some of the plaid was some quilting fabric. Have fun!!

[@loripotter6296]

I'm convinced that the only way to successfully use a peg loom is to do it on the floor. Every time I try to make one on a table or wherever it drops off what a mess I have, it all falls apart on the bottom, the warp is all tangled, what a mess. I'm not a beginner as I use an old union floor loom and a twinning loom have no problems with those.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Oh, some day I would love to play with a floor loom. The peg loom is pretty fun, it just doesn't make a really tight weave.

[@loripotter6296]

Ahh...the old Union loom is a ton of work, trust me...just warping the old girl up is about 20 hours...that's why it's taking a long nap in my garage right now!

[@lindaqualls8395]

How tight can you make it? Yours seems kind of loose. Is that best

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

It depends on the stiffness of your fabric. The burgundy was VERY stiff and didn't grip to each other much. The homespun fabric was much tighter.

[@patgaff3886]

In your opinion, is this method of weaving the fastest way to make a large rug?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

It is faster, but produces a looser rug.

[@MsAnduk]

Have you ever weaved a scarf with your peg loom ?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Yes, I wasn't impressed with how loose the weave was, still trying to figure out the best way to make it look good.

[@belleamie4628]

It would have been much easier to see how you're weaving the first row if you were using contrasting colors of fabric and warp. It's not very clear as to whether your weaving through one or both strands of each warp yarn.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

In this video, I am using the peg loom, so I weave around the pegs.
