Hexagon Loom weaving- Teneriffe Lace on 4 inch hexagon loom

I love weaving Teneriffe Lace on the Hexagon Loom:

Here’s a how to video that focuses on techniques that I use for basic openwork Teneriffe lace on the 4 inch Hexagon loom from Dewberry Ridge Looms.

Openwork Teneriffe is quite easy to do and moves along quickly, once you have the hang of it.

I am using Kreinik Metallic thread in the video to add more lustre and sparkle to the finished piece.

Definitely work a few motifs with thread or yarn before adding in the metallic yarn as it’s tricky to work with.

Here’s a vintage booklet from the archives of the University of Arizona:

Techniques covered in this video:

1- Tips for working with Metallic threads.

2- How to warp the hexagon loom for circular weaving

3- How to work openwork Teneriffe lace on the hexagon loom. (I use a 4 inch loom in the video, but larger sizes work just fine for the openwork technique).

The next tutorial will show more advanced weaving techniques for Teneriffe lace on the 6 inch hexagon loom from Dewberry Ridge looms.

Happy weaving and happy lace making!

How to weave a hexagon using continuous warping and weaving techniques on the Lily Speed O Weave loom

A couple of years ago, when I was working on the designs for The Lily Speed O Weave design book LINK,

I figured out how to weave a hexagon on the loom, using continuous weaving methods.

The method is slightly tricky (it took me a LOT of experimenting to figure it out!) and has one disadvantage….

You have to use quite bulky yarn or else the hexagon is really loopy and open meshy (aka ‘sleazy’).

I decided that this made it not worthwhile to share the technique, as the knotting technique that was traditional for the Lily Speed O Weave loom allowed you to use absolutely any weight of yarn or thread.

Besides, I had figured out a way of speeding up and streamlining the knotting process, so I decided to just go with that.

But, a few days ago, a lady on Ravelry asked if anyone knew how to weave continuously on the hex loom and wasn’t into the knotting technique.

So, I figured…. okay…. I’ll make a video showing how to do this….
