I learned a 3-layer warping technique that makes potholder weaving go faster. I demonstrate it on my new 10 inch potholder loom.
Begin by putting loops on the odd pins in one direction:
Layer 2 requires loops on the odd pins at right angles to the first layer:
Layer 3 adds loops to the even pins in the same direction as the first layer.
Now that the 3 layers of warp are done, do over-under weaving on the even pegs that remain open. This locks all those warp layers together.
Once every peg has a loop, it is time to use a crochet hook to take off the loops.
I will show off the finished potholder later. My fingers got a bit stiff, so I had to stop for now.
