There’s an ancient practice of weaving using a piece of equipment called a peg loom. This can purchased or created if you happen to have a wood worker you know. Fiber artists seem to have handy partners! I’m not that lucky so mine is purchased through The Woolery. I picked the 24 inch version instead of the longer 36 inch version. I wish I had gone for the longer option.
I have pictures below of how to go ahead and prepare the loom by inserting yarn into the hole of the dowels and tying the end together. The yarn is woven around the dowels. Once the yarn is built up on the dowels, the pegs are removed one by one and the yarn slipped down. In that manner, the weaving grows down and down the warp.
I love peg loom weaving for stash busting and using up the extra bits of hand spun and commercial yarn. It’s a fun technique to learn and continue.
