I have been designing for and experimenting with the Martha Stewart loom, and just love it.
One of the things that I have figured out how to do with the Martha Stewart Loom, is how to weave a heart shape motif on it.
It’s a little tricky, so I have made a video on how to do it.
I felted some of the woven hearts, and they are really neat…. the do get smaller as you felt them!
What can you do with a woven heart?
They can be used as placemats on their own, (especially if they have spool knitted cord stitched to the outside), or they can be stitched to bags, scarves, stoles, shawls, pillows, throws, wraps, afghans, blankets, jackets, vests, stitch 2 together as a toy….
Hearts are the symbol of love, so perhaps, you can just weave one for the love of it!






Noreen, thanks for posting the video it made it very easy to understand.. Santa left one of these sets under my tree this year. But, where do I find instructions on how to attach the cording?

Hi Sharon
In response to your question, I have made a video tutorial on how to stitch spool knitted cord to a finished edge (whether it’s woven, knitted, crocheted, etc). Here’s the link to the tutorial:
Hope this helps!
Those two hearts look as if they are holding hands. Wouldn’t this be a perfect anniversary or wedding present?
Hello Aleksa
Yes! I had exactly the same thought! and, of course, Valentines, too….
Hello Noreen I know the video was about looms but WOW those tatted ? sleeves. They stole the show !!
Thanks so much, Carolee! The sleeves are part of a freeform jacket that I made, combining inkle weaving, tatting, crochet and flower looms. It’s wonderfully comfortable to wear, and feels very magical!
