These batts are each 2.5 oz I made these batts blending merino and Corriedale wool. I added silk noil, silk fibers , Angelina and lots of scrap yarn for lots of texture. This batt would make a beautiful art yarn. You can also spin it and add it to your weaving. If felting is your thing, this would make a wonderful base for a scarf once you stretch out the fibers and arrange them to your liking. Specify the color of batt you want on a note to me during checkout.

Woven on a frame loom. This wall hanging was made with as much scrap yarn as possible to minimize waste.

OK, who would have thought you could use straws to weave!? Seriously, straw weaving is such a cool concept! The straws make it quick and easy to weave a fun bracelet, necklace or hairband. And all you need is yarn, straws and tape! This is such a great craft for older kids and tweens. My 7 and 9 year old daughters really enjoy it... although, they're still a little young to do it completely on their own. They need a little bit of my help to get things set up and to tie off the ends. But with such a

So what exactly IS a “fiber fun day?” It's a term I made up to describe a day when you do something fun and fiber arts related. It could be as simple as a trip to a local yarn store and then coffee with your bestie or as awesome as visiting a local fiber mill to watch yarn being made.

Got yarn? Got rocks? Good. Then you have all the materials needed for today's summer craft. We'll be doing some easy rock wrapping! Lovely Yarn Wrapped Rocks This post contains affiliate links. This means I make a teeny tiny bit of money from any purchases made through the Amazon links below. Thank you for your support! For my full disclosure, click here. Now that we've officially entered summer, trips to the beach are on the horizon. Not sure about you, but my son and I can never resist bringing home a small smooth rock or two from the shore. Over the years we've amassed quite a collection. They're the perfect size and texture to use for play, building, and crafting. Here are some of Our Favorite Rockin' Rock Crafts! (Hee hee hee!) Rock Tic-Tac-Toe Game You Rock My World Paper weights Play dough and Rock Houses Colorful (No Paint) Rocks Melted Crayon Friendship Rocks Painted Heart Rocks Neon Doodled Rocks Today's rock craft is by far the easiest one yet. We're just taking yarn and wrapping them around rocks. Of course, you can just wrap the rocks all willy nilly and get a lovely outcome. Or, you can wrap them with a little more precision to get rocks with yarn that looks like it's been woven or braided on. Find some smooth, flat, and long-ish rocks. Wash them if needed. Then, cut a stand of yarn. (I find that multi-colored rainbow yarn works the best because you get a nice gradation of colors.) (Note: You will use 2 hands to do this... but I needed one hand to take photos so I only show 1 hand.) Place a strand on top of your rock. Pull it tightly behind in a horizontal fashion. Then pull it over your rock to make an "x." Then pull your yarn behind again. Then, keep wrapping this same pattern- over, behind, over, behind, etc... Each time move the yarn slightly over from where you previously wrapped. Make sure to keep everything tight! Keep going! Then, tie your two ends to the back when you're done. If you use multi-colored rainbow yarn the colors will change. Or, you could always just tie on new strands of color. (That's what I did for the rainbow one below. But it was tricky hiding my knots behind the rock.) Hope you have a wonderful time going to the beach, collecting rocks, and trying out this craft too.

Finger knitting is so easy! And it's so fun! It's sooooo much easier than regular knitting. And you can actually make something from beginning to end in less than 10 minutes. OK, so we're only making bracelets, necklaces and headbands here, but out of all the time I've spent knitting with my girls, we still haven't actually finished anything. Not even a Barbie blanket. (lol We'll get there some day...) I've spent quite a bit of time this year trying to teach my 7 and 9 year olds how to knit with knitting needles. It's definitely been a struggle for

After a few years of having this project on my 'to teach' list, I finally got around to trying paper plate weaving with my Grade 4-6 mixed class. I saw the original idea HERE on the amazing website of Cassie Stephens. I followed her direction exactly and the weavings turned out really well. I HIGHLY recommend only using Chinet brand plates as Cassie states. I tried it with a thinner paper plate and it did not hold up well. So stick with Chinet or the sturdiest brand you can find. Students started off by painting their plates using tempera. They could use any colours/patterns they wanted to. They had a lot of fun with this step and thought it was pretty cool painting on plates. They didn't fit in my drying rack so we left them on the floor to dry overnight. I collected yarn like a madwoman from garage sales and thrift stores. Then a colleague, who I was sharing yarn with, colour coded all the yarn into different plastic bags- sweet! I laid all these out onto a couple of tables so my kids could see the variety of colours and textures available. Following the directions on Cassie's blog, students wrapped their warp (I demonstrated two times, then we did it together) and then they started weaving using the same warp string. My kids have done paper weaving before and most caught on pretty quickly. Once they have had enough of one colour, they tie on a new colour and keep weaving. The kids LOVED this project and they all turned out really nice :)

Students of all ages can make a Cardinal when all they have to do is wrap cardboard. Perfect for introducing young ones to crafts with yarn.

Are you looking for an easy weaving project to try with the kids? Well, look no further! Today's llama weaving craft is such an easy and cute way to introduce the art of weaving to kids. Plus, you won't need any special materials to try it out. Are you ready? Let's get weaving! How to Weave and Adorable Llama (with kids!) Materials Needed: Scissors Corrugated Cardboard Yarn Markers (We love Sharpies!) Masking Tape Optional: Print out my llama template Small Pom-Poms How to Weave a Cardboard Llama: Step 1: Draw out a llama on a piece of cardboard. Cut it out. (You can also use this template that I made.) Step 2: Cut out the same number of slits on the top and bottom of your llama to hold your warp threads. Make sure they're evenly spaced. (I cut out 5 slits on top and bottom.) Step 3: String your warp threads. Tape one end of a piece of yarn to the back of your llama. Then, go up and down around your llama until all of slits are filled with yarn. Tape the end of your yarn to the back. Want a step-by-step video showing how to do this? I'm giving you a super-fast overview of what we did. If you want more detailed directions on how to properly weave, check out this Met Kids Weaving Video. Front of the Llama: Back of the Llama: Step 4: Cut out a piece of yarn to weave. Tie one end to your warp (top of the right string.) Wrap the other end with masking tape (to help weave.) Alternatively, you could also use a yarn needle (but you don't really need one.) Step 5: Go over and under each warp thread (grey ones). When you reach the end of one row, do the opposite pattern of over and under for the next row. Keep alternating until you're done with your piece of yarn (or you decide to change colors.) To add another piece of yarn, simply tie on your new piece of yarn to your old piece of yarn. (Trim the excess.) Then, keep on weaving!* When you're finally done, just tie the end of your yarn to your warp.* (*Note: I realize that if you wish to properly add on yarn and change colors, you need to follow the directions in the above-mentioned Met Video. They don't tie knots. They leave their strings dangling. But I find that tying on knots works just fine since it's a kid's craft and we're not going to remove our woven bit off the cardboard.) Step 6: Optional: Hot glue on pom poms. Why? Because they're so cute! I really hope this weaving craft brings a smile to your kids' faces. :) If you're on IG and you share this craft, could you tag me @pinkstripeysocks so I can ooh and ahh over the cuteness? Thank you!
