Hand Yarn Weaving

What you'll need

• Small cardboard loom (or a piece of stiff cardboard with notches)
• Cotton yarn for the warp
• Soft wool yarn in pastel shades
• A blunt tapestry needle or wooden weaving stick
• Scissors

How to make it

1. 1

   String the warp yarn vertically across the loom, tying at the top and bottom.

2. 2

   Thread a length of pastel yarn onto the needle.

3. 3

   Show your child how to weave over and under each warp thread.

4. 4

   Push each row gently down to keep the weave snug.

5. 5

   Change colors as often as you like, then tie off and slide from the loom.
