What is a pot holder weave loom?
A pot holder is a piece of fabric, weaved together on a loom, which can be used as a mat for hot plates, a coaster or just a piece of decoration for your home.
It's usually made on a small loom with brightly coloured cords or yarn, and is a small project which can be finished in an afternoon. The looms used look quite a lot like knitting looms, and produce a similar thick, woven effect.
Making pot holders on a weaving loom is a great craft for beginners or teenagers, as they're so easy to make – the thick cord used is really tactile and the pattern builds up quickly.
Crafters across the world have been taking to social media to share their pot holders made on weaving looms – and the results have us seriously inspired to make our own.
Brilliant pot holder ideas
Making a pot holder is a great way to use up yarn left over from other projects – as demonstrated by @joyous360 on Instagram. The use of different shades of yellow create a beautiful textured tone to the finished project.
Sticking with colours with the same hue, why not give your pot holder an ombre effect like @solipdiy on Instagram – the green to cream in this pot holder looks so vibrant and fresh.
