oh grace you are too good. that is the perfect present for julian… maybe he will not have to play it with his socks! but as to the weaving, of course you can do it and i think a basic weaving of string will be oh so lovely… like a woven block of muslin with just the stitching.

my little loom is out but so many choices of thread since i do bobbin lace, tatting and crochet. sometimes there are too many choices. i, too, will wait, watch and listen until the right time comes along.

if its a cotton crochet thread its probably mercerised and that means it should dye up easily. good idea. I often use perle cotton to weave with, similar stuff. kaite

i use this stuff for warp all the time. There are three ways to weave, one where the warp shows, one where it doesnt and one where both warp and weft show. i am starting with #3. but i will talk about that soon. ,

Learning at all ages: great grandmama grace with her little bead loom. Julian with his keyboard, music from both as grace hums to see thread weaving, as Julian pounds and plays and sings and the freeze frame of this is a lovely snapshot of family.

I wind cotton crochet thread into hanks, dye it and stitch with it. I have a little weaving frame (hubs made it for me) and Ive used the crochet cotton as a warp on that.
