Why nat have a go at cele weaving this month? It’s easy and requires no special equipment, You'll need some fairly thick cardboard — acereal boris fine fyou glue twoor three layers together, then draw acound a small plate and cut out. You'l need to trim paper to the same size then fold it in half four times. Unfold it and use thisasa template to mark notches all around the edge of your cardboard circle. Snip about lem into the cardboard at every line, then use a strand of wool and wind it so that it ‘goes through every noteb. Start and finish atthe very centre of your cirele then tie the two ends together. You've created aloom and warp threads—now the fun begins! Use other strands of ‘yarn from your Arlsy pack to weave ‘underand over your warp threads. You could even hold several strands together to create different effects, ‘Make small pom-poms and add to your weaving or leave tufts of yarn loose for unique design. You can always use ‘your erochet hook to add extra tufts into your work. Tape the last pieoe of ‘yarn over the edge and onto the back of ‘your loom, leaving the cardboard in place for extra stability.
