How to do it

1.
Warp the loom with the warp threads in every other groove, two at the time. Let approx. 200 cm hang below, cut the warp thread and continue the process.

2.
Once all the warp threads are fitted, loosen the wing nuts on each side of the block at the top. Twist the block until the threads at the bottom are the length you want the tassels to be.

3.
Tie all the threads together in a loose knot at the bottom. Tighten the block at the top – as well as the wing nuts – tightening the warp threads.

4.
Wind wool onto the shuttles. Now start weaving by feeding the shuttle from one side to the other, over and under the warp threads.

5.
Tear narrow strips of fabric. Tie the strips together with knots. You may tie more knots to add a rustic look to the woven section.

6.
A TIP: pull the wool's fibres slightly for a rustic look on the woven section.

7.
When the section between the two blocks is filled, loosen the wing nuts – at the top and at the bottom. Now wind the woven section onto the block. Tighten the wing nuts and continue the weaving according to your taste.

8.
When the weaving is finished, loosen the wing nuts on the block at the top and remove the block.

9.
Remove all the threads from the loom (the block at the bottom stays on). Tie knots as close to the woven section as possible.

10.
Remove the block at the bottom and roll out the woven section.

11.
Also tie knots at this ends as close to the woven section as possible. Trim the threads according to your taste.
