Easy Weaving with Little Looms Winter 2024

Take a journey through the best art museums in the world with the Winter 2024 issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, dedicated to weaving inspired by works of art. Within these pages, you’ll find some pin-loom sunflowers inspired by Vincent van Gogh, a clever cubist landscape tapestry, and mug rugs modeled after Anni Albers’ weaving. Bring the gallery to your loom with projects inspired by Pointillism, Expressionism, Cubism, Americana, Surrealism, and more.

The issue is also chock full of articles designed to get your own creative juices flowing. Learn to turn snapshots into small tapestries by focusing on color and simple shapes. Follow the creative process of three designers as they share how they went from an inspiring piece of art to a finished woven project. You’ll also learn the basics of color psychology and how to apply it in your own weaving. On the more technical side, you’ll find an article on how to warp your rigid-heddle loom front to back—perfect for handpainted warps.

We hope this issue will inspire you to create your own woven work of art, whether it’s one of the many beautiful projects or something completely unique.
