Mr. Canterbury, my name is Ella and I am 10 years old. My dad and I made a peg loom from your video for my sleepover. My best friend and I made two scarves one for each of us in about two hours for each one. Thank you for this fun video. I have worn my scarf everyday.

I absolutely love your weaving series. There's a portable version of the peg loom called weaving sticks. It's the same idea, but you hold five or so sticks in your hand and weave, rather than having them in a loom on a table. Now all you have to do is learn to knit!

Very cool Dave..... this will be great fun for me and the grand kids to do for a project while we are out in the woods! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for passing on useful historical information !

Fantastic Dave, Thanks brother

As was announced ON THE CONTEST VIDEO, we have one guy who guessed exactly right, he has to be notified I am not about to release his Mail Addy on YT, If he agrees we will release his name when the store opens again Monday after he contacts us back.

Awesome video Dave, thanks for sharing!

Dave, I made my peg loom today with a spare 2x4 I had laying around and 2 5/8" rods. My wife chuckled when I told her I was making her mother a scarf with it. After I was done, my wife then said she wanted one herself! Thanks for sharing this video. All in all from scraps to finished product it took about 2.5 hours.

Thanks Dave. Most would consider this a cool hobby but I enjoy the aspect that it sort of connects us with the way our families once lived. Who knows, this skill could soon be essential. I appreciate your very clear instruction.

Wow, this is an awesome project! My blind partner hasn't been able to find rake looms large enough for her to do afghans, but this would be perfect for her! Now all we need are some angora rabbits or sheep. lol

Thanks great weaving set up Easy and practice Happy trails

Before you start, You can reach into the middle of the skein to find the other end of the yarn, pull it out.. As your weaving or crocheting etc it is easier to pull the yarn from that end instead of your skein twirling around and around

Dave, Once again you amaze us with a simple project that we can do during those dark and cold nights after spending a day in the winter's day. At first, I was not excited, yet after you started pulling the weave thru and building a scarf, I saw what you were making. Very nicely done. Keep these videos coming and don't stop teaching.

awesome dave i have a small scale peg loom i do scarves and have done bags this idea makes a great one for heavy gauge materials thanks for showing this.

I'm the very proud wife of a husband who saw this video and set up the loom right away. I'm going to get a very fine scarf to wear (probably tomorrow). This is the first time he's ever even tried anything like this. (We've been married over 20 years.) I'm very glad and pleased. Thank you very much!

thank you dave, for the new skills

Thanks so much for this video. I learn a lot of great things about the past and how to do things that my ancestors did from everything you upload to YT. GREAT VIDEO!

The last few weeks I've made progress in my skill level of weaving partially thanks to your videos. Thank you.

By far my favorite of you weaving videos. Well done.

This is the most amazing weaving method I have ever seen! Thanks Dave.

Thank you Dave, this will work very nicely for what I need!

Thank you. I was looking for a way to make a quick blanket without knitting or making a a giant loom. This is perfect.

Simple and very efficient, going to build 2 of these. One about the size of the one in The video and one big enough to do kind sized blankets. Thanks for the inspiration Dave!

Beautiful work!!! Happy New Year!!!

This is just so simplistic even I could do this and I have never done anything like this before. Great job and video and that is a beautiful scarf.

This is really interesting. I learned something valuable today. Thanks Dave.

I am dreaming about how warm and comfy a whole blanket made like that would be. I might have to try this. Thank you Dave

Thanks a bunch!

best vids on net. Thanks Dave!

Cool vid Dave. Would make a great indoor, winter, project for anyone.

I really enjoyed your video. I'd love to see more on how you built the peg loom. Thanks

another survival tip and trick thanks,Dave

Great vid

Looks really great!

I like your recent videos looking at the European medieval every day technologies! Cheers Keep up the great work!

A good simple useful tool and process. Thanks for showing!

this was a very interesting video and has me thinking of making my own peg-loom.

Great videos

Thank you so much for showing these loom projects. You inspired me with the backstrap loom to use that for weaving a paracord belt. I know you aren't as big a fan of paracord as you used to be, but that worked out perfectly for that process. Instead of doing a back strap though, I just simply attached it with a caribeaner to a loop on my belt at the front. Wonder if you are planning to do a long term "live in series" again? Loved the Tipi and similar series. Thanks again for inspiring.

Sweet! I like it. Thank you for sharing this.

awesome video.. I do enjoy these...

This is awesome thanks for showing this.

That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

Great Video Dave, Just one more project for me to try lol.

That's one of the best simple looms I've seen... thanks!

That's amazing, I love this!!

beautiful and elegance in its simplicity thank you very much for your video

Simply amazing the stuff you come up with Dave!! The possibilities are endless. Are you sure you aren't related to the "oncler" of Dr Seuss?😉 thanks again for a great video. Happy New Year too!!

Good man Dave :)

Cool

This scarf is beautiful and it looks like it will be lovely and warm! I'm sure your wife loved it!

Thanks for these videos! I love project videos! Very usefull.

in some weaving, one does a double wind at each end to keep it in shape......absolutely fabulous.......love your choice of yarn.................thanks for sharing...barbUK

outstanding video Dave ! How about doing another to a finished bag .

thank you :) it's lovely !

Excellent

I love this. Wonderful! I can do this not complicated.

Beautiful! Thanks for showing us. Think I'll ask hubby for one of these. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Damn that looks warm. Excellent explanation.

Awesome technique!

This is the most incredible loom video Ive found! Thank you so much for sharing! The construction of this loom is something I can do! Love this video.

Outstanding

I learned to weave on this style loom from my grandparents when I was 8 years old and still weave now in my 40's. I believe you are using "Health Heart #6 bulky" You would use a crosha hook J or G, knifing needle #13 or #15 to join the edges closed if you make a bag or if you needed to clean up the edges of the scarf a " pearl stitch" would look nice.

Awesome!! The Scarf looks so professionally made - you could sell it for quite a few pounds I guess!!!! Loved the simplicity of it, and the Yarn used just looks beautiful!!! Did your wife love it?

I am not going to lie, I saw the peg loom at first, and thought, "Dang, he even has some cool runes and Native American symbols on that loom!" I then realized no, it was just scrap lumber, and that is the measurements and what not.

Another great one. I will have to try that. Or my wife. She loves knitting and crochet.

Now this I could do. NICE presentation and clever norge technology.

Great video. Looks like the yarn is "Homespun" by Lion Brand yarns. They do make a great yarn called Fisherman which is wool WITH the lanolin left in so you could possibly make a water-resistant bag this way too. Great video, thanks again for posting. :-)

Ok Dave I am impressed. This is real world down and dirty survival long term skills. I have seen my grandma do this 45 years ago in West Virginia ,but forgot how she did it. she had a couple sheep that she pulled and twisted the wool into her own yarn. Her peg loom was 5 feet long and she made blankets and clothes with it somehow. THIS is what I would say is a absolutely necessary skill set...now I just got to build it and get my wife trained so she can do this for me LOL!

Awesome, as usual, Dave! Any update on the contest winner???

One simple improvement that would make it a little easier would be to color half of the pegs on the end with some charcoal. Put them in one plain, one marked, one plain, one marked, etc. Then wrap simply left to right behind the marked ones, right to left around the plain ones. Not necessary for a small project like this, but if you got up to a large project it would keep things a little more organized.

This is damn good to know stuff man. Thanks for the lesson.

Awesome project, end product, and video. You are doing very good things.

great instructor

This is looking great! Can you tell us, when you made the loom, how far apart, on center, did you make your peg holes? This looks like lots of fun too.

Hello: Pretty slick weaving. Dow rods and a 2x4 easy to make.

That's just cool. I think you could make a round board with an odd number pegs, just keep going in a circle, and make a tube? I don't know what to use that for, maybe socks or a bag or pants leg? I think it would work, but only with odd number pegs so the next wrap would be on opposite side of peg.

Great vid . Can show how u connect the new roll of yarn to the stuff u ran out of . I would really like to see that and the finished scarf ty

To everyone suggesting leaning the pegs in opposite directions...this will ruin the result. You want the individual "stitches" to be approximately the same size in order to keep a consistent weave. Leaning the pegs would result in the stitches towards the top of the pegs to be larger than the ones at the bottom when you take the pegs out making the entire piece warped. Parallel but staggered would produce a consistent result, I think, but it will make the size of the finished piece a little harder to gauge as it will gain width once it is laid flat.

Wow I like it. I did make your Inkle Loom and made several Tump lines and a gun sling. This will make something to keep me warm.

That way easier then other methods you have shown us, Thanks

I may have to try this! I have drumsticks for dowel and a big bag of wool. I think I will slightly stagger the dowel and make them fit more snug so they don't wobble.

cool!

I think this is my favorite Looming Video so far. I wonder if you drilled your peg holes at very slight angles (to where when your pegs were in place, it would resemble a Turkey Strutting), that way you wouldn't have to fight with the pegs coming together. I noticed that is slightly cumbersome when there isn't enough space between the tops of the pegs (making it harder to navigate the yarn around them). Just a thought.

Thanks for the video this is something I am going to try.

This was the most interesting of the looming episodes. Was the scarf a Christmas present?

That was great.

Beautifully simple.

that's cool man, I really like your channel, wondering what's with your hair is winter time?

The simple ideas are the best. But if it were up to me to invent something like that we'd still be in the stone age. That's pretty amazing.

How long did that take you? That is so cool. Thank you for sharing!

Looks realy nice I like how thick it is thanks for sharing

That's fascinating, going to have to try that myself. Thx for the video!

Dave, What about making a modified peg loom .... (yeah I know I always think about additional options to the basic products). Instead of having a basic long slot for all the pegs to sit in for those vertical pegs, what about drilling such holes so that the evens lean slightly forward in direction, and the odds lean slightly backwards in the other direction, making the windings of the threadings easier and faster. When you pull out the pegs to lower down the warp and woof, plugging them back in is also easy. More work production with less timeliness and tediousness. ???

that's awesome! I'm guessing you just pull a little excess through the weaving end to do the knots or whatever to finish both sides?

Just finished a scarf works great

That is cool! I'm making one.

If you DO get some real wool, Merino or similar, I'd love to see this project... version II. LOL Good job!

Great for your nerves and help alleviate stress

this is amazing using homespun yarn have to looks over again how this is made wow i like thks for sharing
