Spider-Web Your Loom a Cardboard Circle What a welcome gift a set of these dainty spider web doilies would he! Or imagine how pretty they'd look on your own table. You can quickly weave a set, using crochet cotton and homemade just circles you cut from heavy cardboard. Around the edge of the loom for the larger doilies cut 16 evenly spaced notches. Paste an end of the thread to center, then wind thread across loom, around through two adjacent notches and back across loom through two opposite notches. Continue in this way until thread is wound through every notch.
Now you have set up your warp and are ready to weave. Bring cotton to center, thread through a needle and start weaving in a circle. Work toward edge, passing the needle under each warp thread and making a loop around it as in diagram. In a jiffy you finish your delicate "web" and, of course, the small dollies are no trick. Cut only eight notches on their little loom.
Other items you can as easily weave are a lovely evening purse of soutache braid, a smart pillow top of stockings. Our 32-page booklet gives complete directions for these and many other inexpensive items, among them pretty scarves, place mats, belts, Afghans, knitting bags.
