SETTING UP A WOODEN PEG LOOM

[@timtoulson9662]

Hi Mary, thanks for the tutorial, very clearly done. Not all your followers are ladies 😊

[@josierobertson9598]

Lovely tutorial, thank you. You were perfect and lovely!

[@marybarratt2649]

Thank you. I appreciate your taking your time to view.

[@woollysteph]

This was fascinating, Mary, and a very clear and easy to follow tutorial. My children bought me an upright loom for my last birthday and I can see how essentially they do the same weaving...only your peg loom looks much easier and quicker to use. I have made a couple of wall hangings but I'm not sure I'd have the staying power to create a rug. Thanks for sharing and hope you feel better soon 💗

[@marybarratt2649]

Im really glad you found this interesting. I think if you just set a rug up and kept going back to it when you felt like it, you would soon create a good rag rug and use all your scraps. Or a woollen rug for that matter. All you need is time and we crafters never have enough of that do we lol xxx tfw

[@Pamperdpetals]

I don’t know how I missed this video and it’s a wonderful tutorial. I’ve never used a loom and you explained it so clearly I’m sure I can follow along. I must try it one day. tfs xx

You did a clear explanation , Wonderful demonstration I think I have most of the wood in the basement I will have to get hubby to make me one when he has time. Feel better Mary.

[@Wild_Halo]

Thank you so much. I will be teaching this to my 7-year-old niece.

[@marybarratt2649]

It is a nice easy introduction to weaving. I know it is only simple stuff - as a child I wanted one of those big looms you can sit at, but I have never managed that. Thanks for dropping by and hope that your niece gets some satisfaction from having a go.

Hi Mary and I’m so very glad I watched your video, because today I received a gift of a 12 peg loom, and you made your video so easy to understand, because you got right to the point and didn’t rattle on about other things, so I want you to know how much I appreciated that, because I wanted to learn how to use my gift, which is going to be right now. Many hugs to you 🫂

[@marybarratt2649]

Thank you Bonnie. I agree, some crafters draw it out don't they .. not sure why... I like to get to the point. Im not sure people have a great deal of time to tune in to videos, so mine are always relatively short. Nice of you to comment and hope you get into weaving on your loom. x

Oh Mary this was so inspiring. I weave with clay and looking at your loom I think I can make one out of clay and use it to create my clay pieces quicker! I'm behind with my clay work so quicker is key right now. Thank you so much for always sharing your ideas with us! I hope you're feeling better soon Hugs...

It is another craft to try out (as if we don't have enough of them lol) but it is a good way of using up our scrap yarns and fabrics. By the way Mary, the yarn I was sending still proved to be £30 taken off the card spools, so I haven't sent. I will send you something else, lighter in weight xx

[@kifurban]

I’ve just brought a loom because of this video! Can I use strips of material instead of wool. 😀

[@marybarratt879]

You can use any type of yarn, fabric strips, plastic carrier bag strips, in fact anything at all. Just play and see what happens. Tku for dropping by

[@steff1193]

Can I make a few pieces that size and connect them. If so how do you do it and make it look cohesive?

[@marybarratt2649]

I think it depends on the yarn you use. This type of loom only gives a loose tension so it is difficult joining pieces. Ive not joined any but would probably try crochet. You could put two pieces together and oversew them or do a cross stitch from side to side. Depends what you want to make. This size loom is usually for smaller items, like scarves. I have seen a lady on youtube with a really wide loom with lots of pegs and she was making rag rugs in one piece. Ok if you have the space I suppose. I havent experimented much I must say. If you get any good results, let me know. Thanks for watching Steff.

[@patgaff3886]

Hi, I like your accent. I am wondering if you have joined weaved pieces together and how you went about it.? Thank you for the tutorial.

[@marybarratt2649]

Hi Pat, Ive not joined any pieces, but would probably join with an oversew stitch. The finished piece would not be too strong with the warp and weft being fairly wide. Ive only used the loom for scarves and I reduce the number of pegs. Ive noticed that there are a few online channels on peg looms, may be worth looking at those. Thank you for your interest. I appreciate it.

[@gramab]

Where do I purchase A loom like yours?Just the perfect size.

[@marybarratt2649]

My husband made this, but Ive seen others on KZbin who have made similar ones. Not seen any in the shops but I did see a plastic one similar on Ebay a while ago. If my hubby had more time he would make some. Must put that to him. Sorry I cant be of more help.

[@davewicks2099]

Can I ask, how do you change colour in the middle of the loom?

[@marybarratt2649]

Im sorry I have only just picked this up Dave. I just start with a new colour and then sew in the ends when the piece is completed. You could join with a knot if you wanted to. It might be easier to join in a new colour at the beginning of a row and sew it in again at the end. Does that help?

[@lynettecoates4272]

Hi Mary.... can I ask a question.... I have just made a rug out of loom wool selvage and I am finding that as the rug develops and gets longer.... the end of the rug as I am finishing the top starts to unravel from the weave at he bottom of the twine.... how do I avoid this ??!! Xx

[@marybarratt2649]

Sorry Lynette, only just found this!! I havent touched mine for nearly a year, but I think I knotted the ends at the bottom of the piece before I finished the top. You knot two together along the row. I hope you managed to finish your piece.

[@jodiekingsley5181]

Hi mary thanks fot video and what kind of yarn use for working yarn hanging down .can you normal yarn ok

[@marybarratt1473]

Sorry only just picked this up. You can use any yarn, but thick rather than thin. You could experiment with different ones. In this demo I just used a chunky weight cotton. Go play and create and have fun ..tks for watching.

[@virginiabaldwin9060]

Hello could you show how you do the string at very beginning please

[@marybarratt2649]

If you follow exactly the tutorial it is self explanatory. When you begin with the yarn , leave a bit of a tail so that you can weave it in afterwards . Is this what you mean? I tried to make it as simple as I could, so hope you manage to master it. Tks for watching.

[@andymoore9977]

@@marybarratt2649 Hi Mary, no I don't knit. I lack the basic coordination needed for that. I am neither fully right or left handed. My interest in this came from chatting to a neighbour. We live in a small remote hamlet in sheep farming country. She has just made a peg loom and wanted some raw wool to try out on it. I was able to provide a sackful of wool in colours ranging from off white to almost black. It seems that to make a coarse rug the wool does not need to be spun first but is just pulled into strands/hunks from the fleece. So not having seen the process in action yet I searched and chanced on you excellent tutorial and am now enlightened!

[@LibbyJones777]

what do you use to thread the prgs with?

I just use a needle with a large eye, large enough to thread the yarn through. One that you would use to sew up any hand knitting. A chenille needle would be ideal, but anything with a big eye Libby Sue.

[@LibbyJones777]

@@marybarratt2649 thanks. I meant to ask what thread do you use., should it be yarn or thread!

[@marybarratt2649]

@@LibbyJones777 You can use any yarn, any thickness but the thicker your yarn or wool, the quicker it will grow. You can even ties craps of materials together in long strips and weave that in. I crocheted three strands of wool together and used that. Anything goes at all. Depends really on what you want to make. Play and see what happens, you can always undo it.
