Be careful your working yarn does not loop around the pins. See figure 4.įigure 3 – Over the edge loop figure 4 – Out between groups You will end up with the needle coming out between two groups of pins. As you are weaving, this will become second nature to you. Push the woven rows up and down out of your way with the needle as needed. Weave across the row beginning over the edge loop and continuing over-under across the row.I am always then weaving from right to left with the needle in my right hand. I am not proficient at anything left-handed so I turn the loom. If you are very good with your left hand this step isn’t necessary. I recommend turning the loom upside down so that corner 4 is now in your left hand.Pull hard enough to tighten the last thread of layer 3. Pull your needle and yarn all the way through.You will end coming out under your yarn tail that is in the slot. You are working next to the bottom row of pins. Continue working your way across the loom from right to left (corner 2 to corner 1) weaving your needle under the bottom layer strand and over the top layer strand.Place your needle down into the circle of yarn around the 2 pins (edge loop) and come up under the bottom layer thread.Follow the W arrow at corner 2 on your loom.Thread your long-tail on to the weaving needle.If you pre-cut your length of yarn, you are ready to go. Once you are a little more proficient, you will figure out how many wraps you need to have enough but no excess waste. This will ensure you have enough yarn to weave and work in your ends. If you are working from a skein, wrap the working yarn around the outside of the loom pins 5 times then cut. Layer 3 ends at corner 2 to the left of the bottom 2 pins.Notice that your yarn is lining up in the space between the yarns in layer 1. Continue weaving the yarn up & down only this time, go around the first 2 pins in each group.At corner 1 go around the middle 2 pins in the grouping of 4.Following the directional arrow on your loom, take the working yarn between the 2 pins and down to corner 1.It is now back in the original position with corner 1 in your left hand. Keeping a firm hold on your working yarn, turn the loom 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.When you reach corner 3, go between the 2 pins in the final group.Continue as before, weaving up and down, wrapping around the last 2 pins in each group.Wrap the yarn around the 2 pins and take it up to corner 1.Keeping your hold on the working yarn, turn the loom 1/4 turn clockwise so that corner 2 is now in your left hand.When you reach corner 4, wrap the yarn around the middle 2 pins and go back down right next to the row of pins ending at corner 2.Continue winding your yarn up & down always going around the last 2 pins in each group.
Come back down around the last 2 pins in the group of 4.Wrap the yarn around the group of 2 pins.Take the yarn from corner 1 to corner 3, making sure it is just to the right of the vertical row of pins.The yarn will fall between the vertical & horizontal groupings Place the yarn in the slot leaving a 4-5 inch tail.Hold the loom so that corner 1 is at the lower left.Use whichever method is most comfortable for you. You may measure and cut this first or work from your skein of yarn. Every weaver develops their own techniques & style. * Please note this is the way I weave on the Zoom Loom. The following is my step by step tutorial for weaving your first square. A handy slot holds the starting yarn without knotting.Molded-in instructions on the front and back are always there when you need them.Gracefully extended sides are easy to hold.The sloping interior edge guides your weaving needle.
