TURTLE looms bring patented continuous strand hexagon weaving to pin loom weavers. The unique design of these looms combine two weaving methods to make the weaving of plain weave or tabby hexagons possible. Add beads, or patterns like twill, and the possibilities are endless.
The TinyTURTLE Loom™ "fine sett" allows you to weave hexagons using fingering weight yarn (often referred to as "sock yarn"). The loom measures 2" side to side, and it only takes about 2.8 yards of fingering/sock weight yarn and a few minutes to weave a hexagon.
This loom has headless pins and yds/wraps information on the back.
The TinyTURTLE™ is perfect to make items that require smaller weaving units. Make sure to check out our Raindrop Mini Towels pattern! Or make Beth's Flower Scarf, some earrings, or little Pet Puff™. You can also make nice appliques for your clothing. Or you can make more complex quilt designs ... probably not as elaborate as the traditional English Paper Piecing Quilts, but close!
The loom is made of quality Birch plywood, finished beautifully with two coats of traditional clear Shellac, sealed with satin Poly. The hexagon weaving area measures 2” side-to-side, and each of the six hexagon sides measures a little over 1”.
The loom kit contains:
1 original TinyTURTLE™ "fine-sett" loom
Your choice of weaving tools (see below)
1 project storage bag (colors may vary)
1 instructions booklet (1 booklet per order)
Please choose a weaving tool(s) option:
- “Locker Hook”. You will receive one 6.5" long locker hook (size 2.75 mm, color may vary).
- “Hook & Needle”. You will receive one crochet hook (size 2.5 mm, color may vary) and one 5" weaving needle with a blunt tip.
Please note that this loom, because of its small size, does not ship with a packing comb. For times when packing is desirable, moving the yarn into place with the back end of the weaving tool will easily accomplish the task.
