Are You Crafting On the Go?

July 12th, 2010 by Gwynn | Posted in General News |

It is High Summer all over the place and I’m thinking that you are all either doing some traveling or planning on doing some traveling. So I have been working hard to come up with some groovy travel projects for you to tuck into your craft bag or trunk – Weavers, I am hitting you first!

Get yourself a Rigid Heddle Loom and never be without your weaving again. Small, lightweight and portable, rigid heddle looms are a dream for the Weaver On the Go. Choose weaving widths from 10″ to 18″. Scarves and table linens will be at your fingertips wherever you are. The Glimakra Emilia is Michael’s favorite new loom but check out the Schact Cricket Loom too. Great price for a starter loom: learn the basics then pass it down to the next novice in your family. Perfect size to leave at camp or Grandma’s house all year.
