How to weave a wall hanging without a loom.

To attach your weaving to your stick you will need to create a series of overhand knots. Take your first two warp threads and tie them in an overhand knot leaving a loop for the wood to be threaded through. Learning to weave is not hard at all. Use a fork instead of a beater some scrap piece of wood or cardboard as a shuttle and a dowel as a shedding stick.

Place the dowel at the top of the hanging. Thread your needle with a length of yarn a then stitch the dowel and the wall hanging together. Using chunky yarns and these specific stitches you can fill your loom in less than half the time it usually takes to make a medium wall hanging. However if you ve been dying to make your own textural weave and don t want to spend five hours sitting down to make one this tutorial is for you.

I looped the twine through the rug s fibers on the back so that the knots wouldn t show. Then tie the upper hanging sample to the branch in the same manner. Use the twine to tie the lower hanging rug sample to the branch leaving enough space for the upper sample to hang with a 2 inch gap above and below. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Thread the stick through and adjust the size of your loops so that the piece will hang evenly. Continue to create these loops across the top. You can diy your own weaving loom for a few dollars and purchase some yarn at your craft store to make this beauty. Thread it through a hole and then back through the hole below holding on to the end so it doesn t come all the way through.
