Booklet Tablet Weaving for Parents and Children

Six balls 5/2 perle cotton, 40 yds each. Choose any combination of colors shown above.

16 tablets

Child's wooden stick shuttle (made from lattice)
The booklet contains all of the basic information needed to get started with tablet weaving, including warping, arranging the tablets for a variety of geometric patterns, instructions for making friendship bracelets, and suggestions for other projects. The only thing you need to provide is a way to tension the warp -- this can be done with two C-clamps attached to the edge of a table. We also offer a simple tablet weaving loom on the Tools page; you could easily make one yourself from a board (3" x 3') and two C-clamps.

Metallic Yarn
$ 2.50 per ball including shipping

Colors: Rainbow White and Turquoise (just a few balls of Turquoise left...)

I used this metallic yarn for the necklaces in my 1996 book Tubular Cardwoven Neckpieces. It's a 4-ply metallic yarn called "Frizette" which I have wound into 40-yd balls. I'm selling out my remaining stock. I still have a little Turquoise and some Rainbow White (a silvery metallic with highlights of turquoise, rose, and gold).
