Embroidery Hoop Wall Weaving, Yarn Craft + Video

I love finding new ways of displaying yarn, don’t you?  This embroidery hoop wall weaving is a beautiful way to use up some yarn scraps or showcase a really special yarn you may have. A simple embroidery hoop doubles up as both a loom and frame too!

Want a little help? There’s a full video tutorial below too!

Materials:

• Yarn scraps of different textures and weight
• Embroidery Hoop (I used a 7 inch hoop)
• Scissors 
• Tapestry needle

Sizing:

• I used a 7 inch hoop, but you can use any size hoop you like!

Instructions:

• Remove the inner hoop and set the outer hoop aside for now.
• Tie yarn in a secure knot to the top of hoop.
• Begin creating a series of criscrosses all the way around the hoop.
• Once you’ve gone all the way around, tie a knot onto the hoop again to finish.
• Take a moment before your start weaving to center and straighten everything out.
• Choose a yarn you’d like for the center and cut a piece about 24 inches or so.
• Thread your tapestry needle with the yarn.
• To start weaving, bring up the needle from back to front and begin creating a crisscross pattern in the center.
• Once your center has been “filed in” after a few passes, you’re ready to start weaving around.
• With your needle and same yarn, come up from the back and work the needle under, over, under, over etc all the way around.
• After each completed pass all the way around, snug things in toward the center before starting a new pass.
• Continue working around, changing colors as often as you like until hoop has been filled in.
• If you want group of color, try working back and forth in rows for sections of color.
• You can also add beads, feathers, and lots more for additional texture.
• When completed, tie off the last strand with a secure knot.
• Replace the outer hoop around the inner hoop and tighten in place.
• If you like, you can add fringe to the bottom Pull a long length of yarn and fold in half several times.  
• Fold it around your finger and send the loop through the bottom edge.
• Send tails through and pull gently to tighten.
• Trim bottom as desired for the look you like.  You can cut it straight across, at an angle, or a chevron shape too.
• Hang and enjoy!
