About this product:
Here you can buy one of our most popular Ragged Life products - our bestselling 90cm peg loom set. With this set, which includes a 90cm long peg loom, two sets of pegs, a threader, peg loom weaving instructions and a nifty storage bag, you can easily make beautiful rugs up to 90cm in width and as long as you like. What's more, this quality wooden peg loom is adjustable so you can weave smaller products, such as scarves, cushions and placemats, but also large floor coverings, mats and wall hangings - any project up to 90cm in width.
What's in the set?
The loom:
This set includes one of our Ragged Life 90 x 10cm hardwood peg looms.
Unlike more basic peg looms, our loom is drilled with three rows of holes to allow you to work with all different thicknesses of fabric, as well as yarn. Specifically...
- Row 1 has 35 holes, spaced approx 2.5cm apart to work with medium weight to thick fabrics, such as woollen jumpers, denim, blanket yarn, fleece etc...
- Row 2 has 47 holes, spaced approx 1.9cm apart to work with light to medium-weight fabrics, such as jersey, cotton etc... It also can be used with raw fleece.
- Row 3 has 69 holes, spaced approx 1.25cm apart to work with wool (e.g. knitting yarn).
The pegs:
When you buy one of our Ragged Life peg loom sets, you will receive two sets of wooden pegs - 71 thin wooden pegs and 48 thicker wooden pegs. The thin pegs fit in row 3 only, however the thicker pegs can be used in either row 1 or 2. We include two spare thin pegs and 1 spare thick peg with our peg loom sets for extra peace of mind.
Threader:
To "warp" up your peg loom, you will need to pass string through the small hole at the bottom of each peg you will be using. We include a wire threader with every peg loom set purchase which makes this process much easier.
Peg Loom Weaving Instructions:
We include a "Peg Loom Weaving Techniques Booklet" with every purchase to ensure you have the basics on how to get started, but if you'd like more detail, we recommend watching some of our instructional videos on our Ragged Life YouTube channel here or buying a copy of "Rag Rug Techniques for Beginners", which has four beginner peg loom projects to sink your teeth into.
Peg & Threader Bag:
Buy a Ragged Life peg loom set and you'll receive with it a cute drawstring bag to store your pegs, threader and instructions. It's even large enough for some extra fabric strips! Not necessary to the technique, but just nice to have.
What else you will need:
As well as the peg loom, pegs, threader and instructions included in this listing, you will need string to warp up your loom, fabric, a good pair of scissors and either a latch hook or large darning needle to sew in your tails. If you want to save yourself the effort of joining strips of fabric together, you may want to consider our 100% Wool Blanket Yarn or recycled sari silk ribbon or our Weaving Yarn - Chunky Knit which comes pre-cut into long strips.
Want All the Tools to Peg Loom Weave?
To begin peg loom weaving, you will need strong warp. This forms the framework which you weave in and out of. We sell warp separately on the Ragged Life website here or you can add 350g (1000 metres) of strong warp and a latch hook to finish your peg loom weaving (to sew in your ends) for £12 extra by selecting the second option on the drop down menu.
