Here a some of the fabrics I made this past month at the Loop of the Loom studio.

Yukako, the Saori instructor, really guides her students through the process from beginning to end.

My daughter Jasmine and I have been taking weaving classes in New York City's Loop of the Loom since April 2010. We have been having a great time weaving yarn into fabric and have made quite a few pieces of fabric in a short period of time. Each finished woven piece resembles a form of a scarf, but can be transformed into something else. We have been using special looms from Japan called Saori looms, which only have two pedals, are kid-friendly and relatively small.

more attitude woven by Jasmine

Jasmine wove a piece of red wool into one of her designs, for fun.

A few more pieces of fabric that Jasmine designed and wove. She was playing with texture and added a little sparkle or interest when she felt like it. Yes, everything looks like a short scarf in the beginning.

made with a smile and a little attitude

Jasmine happily designed and wove the fabric for this shrug.
