Our Grade 3 and Grade 4 students made a simple cardboard loom and wove a small piece of fabric using knitting wool as the warp and weft threads. After watching a video instruction on Teacher Tube (you might need to wait until the BMW ad finishes first ) they settled into weaving with very few difficulties. They also enjoyed the Interactive Weaver on the House of Tartan site which allowed them to design their own Tartan fabric.
Great weaving patterns!
Wow, they look really really good.
