your voice is calming, i feel like I could listen to you explain anything. lol, and I love the bit of humor you bring. Thank you for teaching me how to do this!
Happy Weaving! You might also like to check out: ua-cam.com/video/b1ZQcWnUa6Q/v-deo.html and my other videos about weaving with yarn on the potholder loom 😊
Thanks, Kathy, and yes indeed, you can change colors to create all kinds of wonderful woven pieces. My book: Potholder Loom Weaving (available at all booksellers) is full of techniques for amazing things that you can weave with yarn on the potholder loom.
You are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this. I just bought the Harrisville pro for my daughter and wanted to try it myself. The loops were fun, but there's a thrift store nearby that always has TONS of skeins of yarn. I love love love upcycling during this low-waste trend going around. So I really wanted to see what other options there were besides buying loops! I'm really excited to try the simple pattern and then check out your other videos. Have you found that there's any problems with using acrylic yarn for a potholder? Does the heat affect it?
Hi Judith- Thank you so much for your kind note :D I don't recommend acrylic yarns for potholders as I am concerned about the possibility of low melting points with acrylics. BUT... you can cut up clothing and linens to make fabric strips and weave with them, so that is a great eco-option. I think that you will love all the fun projects and awesome techniques in my new book: Potholder Loom Weaving- tons of inspiration! The potholder loom is a wonderful loom!!!!
Check out my book: Potholder Loom Weaving- there are videos about it on my channel and the book is available worldwide. There are an infinite number of things you can do with the modules you weave on the potholder loom.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing. I love the Dewberry Ridge loom you featured, but have a question: Will the Harrisville Pro-sized loops fit on the Dewberry Ridge 9-inch loom?
Thanks Wendy and yes, they fit just fine. In my book: Potholder Loom Weaving (available worldwide on all online booksellers and can be ordered into local bookstores) I use Harrisville Pro size loops on the Dewberry Ridge loom
they are both lovely, and there are even some very nice potholder looms made of plastic.... just avoid the plastic ones that are flimsy and have straight up and down pegs... ugh... twisty nasty no no..... as to metal vs wooden, that is a personal choice that is hard for me to answer.... if you like the feel of wood, then lean into getting a wooden one. If you prefer the streamlined feel of metal then the Harrisville is truly lovely. Either way- Happy weaving!
Thank you for your videos. I truly appreciate them and your books. I am going to buy the new book, potholder loom weaving, but before I do I am wondering which of the 2 looms you recommend. The metal or the wood? Thank you.
Hi Pat and thank you for your kind words. I like both metal and wooden looms, so I don't have a preference either way. Go with your instincts about which one resonates the most with you... .and happy weaving!
Probably a silly question but how do you make a double strand of yarn from a single skein? Also do you have simple instructions for joining squares together to make a quilt or small blanket? Thanks
Push your finger inside the skein of yarn and pull out the center clump of yarn and find the yarn end, then use this end and the end from the outside of the ball. Here's a pattern for making a blanket: tottietalkscrafts.com/2020/01/15/potholder-loom-blanket-free-pattern-by-noreen-crone-findlay/ There;;s a link there for how to sew the squares together. Happy weaving!
Yes it is: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/potholder-loom-weaving-noreen-crone-findlay/1132724315?ean=9780811737999 or any other online bookseller or your local bookseller can bring it in for you
Chain the loops off all the way around and then either use the yarn ends at the upper corners for stitching the squares together or weave the ends into the square.

Thanks so much, Bonnie :o) The pattern for the twill is in the book :o)
Thanks Noreen🥰
I'm looking for videos about single stranded weaving on one of these. How do I deal with the empty corners?
Thank you for the informative video
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent.
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! My husband just made me a 9" loom, and I have tons of yarn, so I can't wait to get started! :)

@@NoreenCroneFindlay , thank you!
It would be great to see how you finished off the raw ends of yarn as well. How did you crochet the opposite corner where the yarn ended?
do you have a vid that shows a better job of what you do on the corners? Beginning and end? Thanks!
Do you have two balls of wool with two ends put together to make the double strand that you knot on the corner? Thanks for the video!!!
Thanks for the tutorial Noreen
You are most welcome, Debbie :o)
Please provide link to the book
If you were to choose between these two pin looms which would you prefer to buy?
Thank you for your videos...❤️
Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. Do you change colors?
Thanks, Kathy, and yes indeed, you can change colors to create all kinds of wonderful woven pieces. My book: Potholder Loom Weaving (available at all booksellers) is full of techniques for amazing things that you can weave with yarn on the potholder loom.
How did you tie off the end of the finished edge.
I thought we needed to use 100% cotton for potholders due to acrylic yarn melting under heat.
Great video competent nice excellent info thank you
Thank you

For a beginner would you use the peg pot holder loom or the nail pot holder loom. Is one easier than the other?
they are both lovely, and there are even some very nice potholder looms made of plastic.... just avoid the plastic ones that are flimsy and have straight up and down pegs... ugh... twisty nasty no no..... as to metal vs wooden, that is a personal choice that is hard for me to answer.... if you like the feel of wood, then lean into getting a wooden one.

Do you recommend using wool yarn for potholders?
Wow thank you,
You are most welcome! Happy weaving!

Is the Loom Potholder book that you mentioned available?
Yes it is: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/potholder-loom-weaving-noreen-crone-findlay/1132724315?ean=9780811737999 or any other online bookseller or your local bookseller can bring it in for you
How do you finish off the top left corner?
Chain the loops off all the way around and then either use the yarn ends at the upper corners for stitching the squares together or weave the ends into the square.
