The TURTLEs are currently co-sponsoring Long Thread Media’s podcasts, and the new episode is an interview with the editor of the Spin Off magazine, Pamela K. Schulz.
To make this occasion special, I’d like to invite you to contribute your photos of pin-loom woven pieces or projects using handspun yarn to a slideshow that I’d like to add to this post!
If you have a photo (or more) that shows some handspun pin-loom woven pieces or projects that you made, please contact me.
I plan to add selected contributions with a mention of your name. There is no monetary compensation, but I hope that we can make this a fun event!
Please contact me by June 20th.
Here are three reasons that make pin-loom weaving a great choice for handspun yarns:
- Pin-loom weaving is an easy and quick method to try out what your hand-spun yarn will be like when woven. Weave a piece in no time to find out what it looks and feels like, and get a rough idea what sett might work best for your yarn. Those small pieces of fabric are also ideal sample swatches for testing wet-finishing.
- Handspun fibers are precious, and preserving even the smallest amount matters … weave up your leftovers and yarn ends into little treasures.
- Not all handspun yarns are suitable for all purposes … pin-loom weaving broadens the possibilities of projects to make.
Here are just a few ideas for using handspun yarn on your TURTLE looms:
