Weaving Washcloths on 12" Square Loom

Learn how to weave a washcloth on a 12 inch loom. Squares can be used for other items and will be discussed in class. What is continuous strand weaving on a square loom? Continuous strand weaving on the square frame loom follows the same principles as with the Triangle frame looms, in that the weaver is just weaving loops which become both a warp and two wefts woven at one. The main differences between weaving on the square versus the triangle are: the weaver only weaves in the top right corner, rather than alternating between the right and left corners and the weaver lays in two warps for every row woven, rather than just one
