I hope everyone had a full happy thanksgiving last week. this was the first time in 3 yeras that more people gathered rather than immediate  family. we had thanksgiving at our son's home and freinds and extended family attended. i packed the SAORI PICCOLO 40  loom in the car and we had fun making wrists wraps and small hangings with bells . 














THE SAORI ART YARN MAKER HERE  making cords, or yarn lengths to add to your weavings too is easy with the your saori bobbin winder and the art yarn maker  the saori bobbin winder also can be purchased as a table top clamp on bobbin winder saori stand alone bobbin winder here 

video of the desk top clamped on to a work surface wonky because i am holding the yarn and turning the bobbin winder with my iPhone in my hand! The stand alone bobbin winder
Is great or if you have a piccolo you can remove the bobbin winder with one screw takes a minute tops and use the claps that came when you bought the loom to attach it to a table top. Easy peasy! 







several wanted to weave so i had a project of a  small hanging with a brass bell …..


 Patricia  wanted to wear her's! around her neck. cute!
