Make the journey from potholders to woven art!
Ready to get radical with your potholder weaving?
Most of us learned to weave on our potholder looms in Plain Weave, and it's a great place to start, but your little loom is capable of so much more! Author Deborah Jean Cohen began exploring the possibilities of potholder weaving and found a whole group of similarly obsessed weavers on Facebook. Soon they were sharing and swapping techniques and patterns. They found that many Twill weaves translate easily to the potholder loom. And if you weave each of the two strands of a loop separately (instead of as one unit), you double the number of warps and wefts on your loom and exponentially increase the number of designs you can make. And have you tried weaving with a clasped weft to divide your weaving into sections for entirely new effects?
Begin your radical potholder journey by trying the multitude of intriguing potholder designs presented in easy-to-follow charts. Many patterns are shown in a variety of color schemes to give you an idea of the possibilities, and you'll find yourself lost in many hours of joyful weaving. When you are ready to make your own designs, you'll find the advice on adapting an existing weaving draft to a potholder loom chart invaluable. You'll be amazed at the hundreds of variations you can make with just this one simple loom!

Deborah Jean Cohen began designing potholder weaving patterns when she was disappointed in the number of patterns available and began to convert other weaving patterns to work on her potholder loom. She found that the possibilities were endless, and she soon found others online who were also excited by what you could weave on a small loom. She is the founder and administrator of Radical Potholder Weavers, a dynamic, fast-growing Facebook Group, and she has also given Zoom workshops through The Weaving Way Community.
