[Ponte Alto] Peg Loom Experience?

[elizschr at aol.com]

Hi, Bevin.

We've done similar weaving with soda straws instead of a peg loom.  Just google it and you'll find lots of how-to's.  That was limited to the number of straws we could easily hold.  We did find it was easier if the warp threads were smooth (like crochet cotton or cheap kitchen twine) and the weft wraps were fluffier.  (In our case, for a school project, it was dead-dinosaur worsted yarn in obnoxious colors.)

You wouldn't have to drill holes through the pegs. You could carve or file a groove around the peg and tie the warp into that groove.

Regards, Beth

Has anyone made or used a peg loom as described in the blog post above?

I would be interested in bartering with a woodworker who might make me one. In exchange for a wool blanket made with the loom, handspun yarn, or inklewoven bands, perhaps.
