Easy Sew Plarn Tote Shopping Bag
This is how to sew a plarn tote. You can do this with any fabric, just hem the raw edges or line it. With weaving, you can make the fabric the exact size and no hemming required. Weave plarn (or any material) fabric about 18" - 19" wide (your preference how wide). Make a 1" header, weave 34" and then make another 1" header for a total of 36" of cloth. Zig-zag the headers to keep them from unraveling. Make handles, you'll need 2. Your preference as to width and length. I make them anywhere from 42" or longer and about 2" wide, each. I find that wide handles is easier on the hands, especially of you're going to use these bags for grocery shopping. These bags can handle a LOT of weight. Sew on the handles to the right side. Sew the side and bottom seam. You can use the tote as is or square off the corners. See video for squaring off the corners. Enjoy your tote!

Warp a Floor Loom Front to Back
This is how I warp my floor loom front to back. The method for beaming the warp via "Crank and Yank" can also be applied to a RH loom.

This is how to double weave with 2 rigid heddle reeds. You can either double your sett, weave cloth wider than your loom, weave two cloths at the same time or create a tube. Enjoy!
