There are many different types of weaving looms available on the market today. The patterns that I currently have instructions for on this site are hexagon and hexagon rectangle weaving looms. You may be able to find these items at yard sales as there was a company that used to manufacture them in the 80s that went out of business. I did find one online retailer that sells them (U~Weave Looms, http://www.donslooms.biz/HEXAGON.html). They are also widely available on Ebay or you can make one yourself. I will be adding instructions for how to do that soon, so check back!
Today there are so many different yarns available, with a wide selection of colors, textures and fibers to choose from. You can really use any yarn you would like. It is a great project to use up any leftover yarn you may already have. Be creative and try a variety of yarns, as well as combinations in each piece. Check out the photo gallery for inspiration!
