Looking for an interesting, useful and portable weaving project? Something that you can easily carry with you… something that you can pick up or set aside as needed… a fun, productive fiber project that lets you take advantage of yarns that you may already have on hand? Welcome to pin looms.

This course is intended to give you all the information, skills, and techniques that you will need to create your own pin loom woven scarf (or if you want to think bigger– a shawl or blanket). Class goals include learning how to weave an overshot pattern on a pin loom, learning pin loom scarf joins and prepare a plan/pattern for your scarf.

Students will gather the knowledge and skills needed to weave a variety of patterns on a pin loom, skills for joining pin loom squares, and extensive printed instructions for a variety of pin loom overshot patterns. Students will also receive information on sources for pin looms as well as further online weaving resources.

However, students are welcome to just use the practice yarns that will be provided in the class in order to create weaving samples as they plan their own scarf pattern.

  • Margaret Stump

    Margaret Stump has been weaving on pin looms for over forty years. (Actually, it’s closer to fifty, going on sixty, but she would prefer not to admit it.) Margaret is the author of three books: Pin Loom Weaving, Pin Loom Weaving To Go, and Adorable Beasts: 30 Pin Loom Woven Animals & 4 Playscapes. She is a regular contributor to national fiber and craft magazines including Handwoven, Easy Weaving with Little Looms, Spin Off, and Yarn AU, with a current total of forty-three projects/articles to her name. While Margaret has explored many styles of weaving, she has always returned to pin looms, finding that their size and ease of use made them optimum building blocks for her creative efforts. She most enjoys sharing this portable form of weaving with others and introducing the idea that weavers, like knitters and spinners, can sit in a circle and create. Margaret lives in Minnesota with her husband, Jerry. She happily shares lots of pin loom techniques, projects and videos at her website, pinloomweaving.com.
