How to Weave on the Tape Loom

1  Gather the warp threads together, adjusting tension evenly among all. As you would with a ponytail. Add weft thread to this bundle and knot securely.


2  Pull back on your warp and lift simultaneously. Pass the shuttle to the right, leaving a thread in place.  If you used the Colorfilled Check draft, the white and lavender threads will rise.


Pull back on your warp and down simultaneously. Pass the shuttle to the left, leaving a thread in place.  If you used the Colorfilled Check draft, the orange, red and green threads will rise.

Stop midway each time to tap the yarns you just wove into place. This is a handy time to switch hands as the warp threads held level with holes will hold your shuttle for you.




You determine the width of your tape by how tightly you pull side to side. 
You determine how densely packed by how rigorously you pack the weft in place.

Have a great time weaving! Remember to breathe, and relax. It's only a little bit of fabric. You will become more proficient very soon!
