Many of us like to use small looms we can carry around or weave tapestry on on our laps. A few years ago I made this video for a blog post that Schacht Spindle Company did about their peg looms. In the video I show you how to warp these looms with uneven spacing to get the sett you want.*
The Schacht peg looms come with a rather odd sett of about 5.5 ends per inch and for weaving small, that doesn’t work for me most of the time. Often I warp these looms with a 1, 2, 1, 2 pattern to get 8-9 ends per inch or doubled to get about 11.
I show you how to accomplish that on a Schacht loom in the video and I also demonstrate how to use twining to spread out the warps evenly before you start weaving. If you’re getting this blog post via email, you can find the video on YouTube HERE.
This concept of warping unevenly works on almost any peg or slot loom. So even if you aren’t using one of the Schacht looms, it will probably also work for whatever slot or peg loom you have.
At the end of that video there is a discount code which is no longer active. But if you have a small loom you love weaving on and want more instruction, consider my Introduction to Tapestry Weaving or Weaving Tapestry on Little Looms online courses.
Schacht Lilli loom and Easel Weaver
*I am demonstrating in this video on the larger Schacht Easel Weaver loom. I believe they have stopped making this loom, but the pegs on the Lilli loom and the School loom are the same. Or maybe you have an Easel Weaver in your loom closet!
