Triangle Loom Views
The triangle loom is just one of the unconventional looms out there. There are also square and round looms to make. These are inexpensive and with a bit of thought and creativity you can restructure the pieces of a project pattern to accommodate using your loom. Four pieces woven from a smaller triangle and sewn together will give you a square. That can be the beginning of a “drop shoulder” sweater.
Yes, the Triangle Shawl & Blanket Loom IS the ONLY loom that dresses itself. Thats’s because all warping and weaving are done simultaneously, with a single strand, from a center-pull ball of yarn. After laying down the first two warp threads, just weave a loop down from the top of the loom and spread the loop apart. Each woven loop provides two wefts woven at once ( the sides of the loop), PLUS the next warp (the bottom of the loop). As you continue to weave loops and spread the loops apart, the weaving progresses from the outside corners to the center AND from the top to the bottom of the loom all at the same time.
Basic weaving on a triangle frame loom is a very simple process, excellent for someone who has never woven before; yet, it can be creatively challenging for the accomplished weaver through the use of advanced techniques such as twill, lace, double weaves, inlay, tartans, and other color sequences, and for the designer who enjoys working with unique shapes.
1. Triangle shaped shawls drape more beautifully and remain on the shoulders better than do rectangular ones. Though triangles can and have been woven using square looms, there are tension and logistics problems with these methods. Not so with a loom designed to quickly and easily weave triangles. You can weave a full-size 7-foot shawl in less than a day!
