Description: Pin looms are a fun and easy way to learn to weave. Lightweight and portable, pin looms can be tucked into your handbag and taken with you while visiting or on vacation. In this class, we will use slightly amended potholder looms and wool to make a woven square with the continuous strand method of weaving. The squares can be sewn or crocheted together, like granny squares, to make any project you can imagine.
