I knew it was only a matter of time before I succumbed to yet another fiber art adventure. Mae and I bought a Zoom Loom today to give it a go. We both found it fun, quick and easy… And sure to become a new addiction. Mae’s planning to make a blanket for her Pixie doll:
And I wonder what I should do with my first handspun square?
The possibilities are endless…
I’ve made a load of squares on my pin loom and am going to make it into a bed spread somehow. Loads more to do yet though! Yours are both very pretty.
A bedspread would be great! I love how your squares turned out. I want to learn to make them on a bias like that. Did you follow a tutorial?
Yeah, I did. It’s easy to pick up 🙂

Perfect! Thank you!!!
lots of wonderful possibilities ^^
Indeed! 🙂
You got one! I can’t wait to see all the possibilities you come up with. I love the texture and color of your first square, and I can see Mae’s is going to be fabulous too. So much fun to explore. I can’t wait to get one too!
Yes! You inspired me with your weaving guild stories, and when I told Mae about it, she got excited to try as well. I like how quick it is. Knitting a square this size would probably have taken me 3x as long.
Handspun looks so fantastic woven!
I agree! Empress27’s handspun squares are what inspired me to try it. And multi-colored roving should make for an interesting patchwork pattern… I hope. All my squares from this yarn are turning out slightly different.
So fun for you guys to craft together like that! I gotta try weaving sometime, too 🙂 ♥ ❤
Yes! Weaving is fun… But not as much hands on time with the yarn, I’ve noticed.
Hmmm… well to remind myself, I’ve shared your link on my blog’s fb page… and wanna try that diagonal method from your comments section, too 🙂 ♥ ❤
