Pro Sized Potholders

in NeedleWorkMondaylast year (edited)

I learned a 3-layer warping technique that makes potholder weaving go faster. I demonstrate it on my new 10 inch potholder loom.

Begin by putting loops on the odd pins in one direction:

Layer 2 requires loops on the odd pins at right angles to the first layer:

Layer 3 adds loops to the even pins in the same direction as the first layer.

Now that the 3 layers of warp are done, do over-under weaving on the even pegs that remain open. This locks all those warp layers together.

Once every peg has a loop, it is time to use a crochet hook to take off the loops.

I will show off the finished potholder later. My fingers got a bit stiff, so I had to stop for now.

Sort:  

It seems like this needs some techniques or working ideas can't wait go see the finished products.

Thanks for reading. !PIZZA

Hello @fiberfrau this looks like a nice potholder you are making. I remember doing something like this a long time ago. It must be relaxing :) Barb !BBH !CTP

It is relaxing, although it is also hard on the hands after a while. I like knowing many crafts so that if my hands get tired of one, I can switch to a slightly different motion to rest them. !PIZZA

Oh OK that's good to know @fiberfrau 😊 !BBH !CTP

Nice one, The colors look good together
