How to weave a scarf on a peg loom
This is easy to follow as it is much more simple than you might think. No hard to master stitches. No time consuming, expensive crafting here. Using a peg loom is easier than you might think! Peg loom instructions are not really instructions and I wouldn’t feel that you need peg loom design in any way either.
First you need to thread the pegs
I used a smooth contrasting wool here. I have chosen to go for 6 pegs in width. It is best to go for an even number of pegs as we will be tying them in pairs later on. I am so relaxed with measurements that I just used my arm length twice over. This is because you will be doubling up the pegs. Once threaded and with the wool hanging in front pop the pegs into the loom.
What is Peg Loom Weaving?
As simple as working the wool up the pegs and not directly onto the wool.
Please check out the very relaxing video for the exact way we work the pegs. You will need to weave all the pegs and then pull them out the loom, and keep going.
Peg Loom Scarf
This is a natural choice for making a scarf as it is so quick and when you have a lovely wool it shows it off more clearly. When you have finished with the weaving, you can secure the end by tying it into the previous row. You can then work the final pegs up the scarf and choose how taut to keep the weave. I will usually work it down a bit and ensure that it is consistent. It is a as simple as that.
Why Peg loom weaving a scarf rocks
It is so quick and you can pick it up and put it down again without any worries. It is also pretty low skill level as you just weave, in and out then turn at the end and go through again the other way. There is nothing that can really go wrong with this.
