Textile Art: Weaving Vocabulary… Loom Warp Weft Beating
Textile Art: Weaving PREPARE In Advance… Make a loom (a device for weaving): • Arrange 4 popsicle sticks to create a square. This will form the loom. • Adult uses a hot glue gun to attach the sticks. Glue needs time to set.
Textile Art: Weaving Preparation: WARP 1. Tie the WARP yarn to one end of the loom. 2. Wrap the WARP yarn end-to-end around the loom until you have 5 ‘loops’ and 10 WARP threads wrapped. 3. Tie the end of the WARP yarn to the loom using a double knot.
Weaving: The Weft Wrap bit of yarn onto stick. Tie weft yarn to warp. Weave ‘under-over…’ Next row opposite (over-under…’) Continue weaving…
Weaving: Changing Colours Tie new yarn to the end of the old yarn. Wrap bit of new yarn around a popsicle stick. Continue to weave ‘under-and-over’.
Textile Art: Weaving I Can… • Move the weft ‘under and over’ • Use yarn to create a weaving on a loom • Describe the choices I’ve made (e.g. colour, pattern…)
