How to weave with yarn on potholder loom

I’ve been posting all kinds of tutorials on weaving with yarn on the potholder loom, but haven’t put the links to  the basic ‘how to’ tutes up on Hankering for Yarn.

This is kind of inconvenient for some readers, who like to have things organized all together, so I’ll post the tutes to Hankering for Yarn.

The potholder loom is a wonderfully simple loom that has been under estimated for it’s creative potential.

I suspect that is because most people associate them with loops, which have -ahem- severe limitations (to say the least).

Yarn is so wonderful and colorful and textural and ubiquitous and so unlimited!

So, I say: Ditch the loops! grab your yarn and weave with it!

Here is Part One of How to Weave with Yarn on the Potholder Loom:

I’ll  upload the second tute in my next post – having 2 videos in the same post makes it too slow to open.

    Hi Becky
    Yes indeed! Just cut the yarn at the lower edge of the loom while warping, and tie on the next color. You can make it as colorful as you want.
    AND… In my new book: The Woven Bag, I show you how to weave some dazzlingly wonderful patterns on the potholder (and other small looms)!

    Hi! This is great. My daughter is trying it now. Is there a way to change the yarn halfway to make patterns? Or do you basically have solid or checkerboard options? Thanks! We’re new to this thing…
