Sometime between Labor Day and Sept. 10 I built two of them, thinking I could show Lee when she was visiting us. Of course I should have known better than to think I could show Lee anything she doesn&#8217;t know about weaving! She may or may not have used one herself, but she certainly had heard of them through her weaving guild.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, I started weaving on one about last Thursday night and did some more on it this past weekend. I&#8217;m using lopi left over from Charley&#8217;s icelandic sweater &#8212; not the best choice for this loom, as there&#8217;s a lot of friction pulling the yarn through the warp. It does look as though it&#8217;s working, though, and as though it&#8217;s going to make a reasonably compact fabric on this loom.<\/p>\n<p>The light dawns! I finally see why there are twice as many nails between the two shorter edges of the triangle as along the hypotenuse. Each nail on the hypotenuse has a thread going up on each side of it, but each nail on the short sides has a thread only on the outside side.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m switching color a lot, hoping for something like a plaid. Guess I need another color.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rollingonone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/2006\/09\/triangle_loom.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting to try weaving on a triangle frame loom ever since I saw one in use at the Denmark Sheepfest.
