Weaving on sticks is possibly the oldest form of weaving. Peg Looms are a more sophisticated form of stick weaving, easier and faster than other forms of weaving. You can use this loom for head bands, dog leashes, ear warmers, hats, bags, hot pad, place mats, chair pads, blankets, bath mats, and throw rugs. We will learn to warp and weave by making an ear warmer. Other projects will be included in your packet.
