(Very excited, as this seems to be the bane of many an art teacher and I just learned about this through a fellow art teacher friend). You know those 2-part plastic apple cartons that usually come from Costco/other bulk food grocers? Stab a yarn-sized hole in each space, wind the yarn into balls (ahem, early finisher job?), place inside of the carton with the yarn coming out through each hole, and snap the carton back together. Voila!

After that it is much better. My think cardboard, was not so thick. You might have thicker, which would be much better. I still would try it! Good luck!!!

I have a question about the cardboard... you mention not to use the thick boards and also not to use too thin of a cardboard. So, I am guessing the thicker loom chip board is not a good match for this project?<br />I started one using the thicker chip board and was hoping it would work out. Is there a reason not to use the thick cardboard?Mrs.Kurzawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492600692385162241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133301311009709474.post-6705368766443518462016-03-14T10:21:54.378-07:002016-03-14T10:21:54.378-07:00It is not very organized...

At the end of class I stress softly wrapping them all up so that they do not tangle. It is okay... I have seen some great ways to organize the yarn, the laundry basket idea sounds good, I should try it. But I have never master that area of weaving with students! I tend to put a couple students in charge of making it look amazing... they do a decent job. :)Paintbrush Rockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518875318197575659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133301311009709474.post-33437035562088239262016-03-12T18:27:24.691-08:002016-03-12T18:27:24.691-08:00Oh my gosh, I LOVE weaving with my kids.

Thank you for posting the step by step photos - I love that this weaving turns into something useful. I'm definitely going to try this one!! Thank you for always sharing such great ideas!tconlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16183368118609695634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133301311009709474.post-17759709174556614342016-03-11T08:03:55.602-08:002016-03-11T08:03:55.602-08:00I'm curious of how you manage the yarn.

This year I have the skeins in laundry baskets with the tails sticking out of the holes in the side. It seems to be going alright but takes a bit more time since they have to cut it themselves. I guess it is better than trying to have them clean up the huge mix and match yarn pieces all over the place at the end of class. What is your method?Jillian Nettelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04654814383316877435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133301311009709474.post-37665854233805078342016-03-09T08:32:12.970-08:002016-03-09T08:32:12.970-08:00Updated!!!!

It is the quickest way to hide the knots. Some need to be pushed back through even flipped.
