Easy Weaving with Little Looms Winter 2025

Easy Weaving with Little Looms Fall 2025

So much of weaving is built upon the past. Not only do we build upon the works of those weavers who came before us, but we also design items to capture and commemorate specific memories. Table runners that celebrate the first time hosting a special holiday and eventually become heirlooms. Or, a wedding shawl that gets pulled out again for other special occasions.

Celebrate those special moments withEasy Weaving with Little LoomsWinter 2025. All 19 of the projects in the issue celebrate weaving that holds a deeper meaning. Youll find recreations of beloved textiles from the past, including an heirloom pin-loom quilt, a light and lacy shawl, and even a pair of pink fuzzy bunny slippers. There are also projects inspired by specific memories, including a scarf reminiscent of embroidery floss friendship bracelets, a set of towels to match a beloved 70s-style kitchen, and a trio of key fobs that commemorate all the firsts in life that come with a key.

Youll also explore ways to weave your own memories, take care of your equipment, and morewith the articles.

Find out how Yvonne Ellsworth turns the weftover put-ups from her stash into beautiful, original scarves, including her ingenious technique for yarn wraps.
