One day while driving through the country near where we live, I noticed all the soft colors in the winter woods … the tans & browns, creams & grays, & a splash of red. A cardinal. I remembered that there is symbolism regarding that bird, traditions connected with them, & it led me to create this Winter Collection Artist Blend called Winter Woods. There are biblical references & folklore concerning cardinals. There is a belief in some cultures that when a cardinal appears in your yard, it’s a visitor from heaven. I’ve combined a palette of soothing neutrals & woodtones for this latest collection. I’ve added just a touch of cardinal red to create an image of a bird on the finished potholder. Instructions will be included. Weavers wanting to make a rug can message us for larger quantities. These loopers originate as a byproduct of the sock manufacturing process. By purchasing these loops, you will be turning something that was destined for a landfill into beautiful & functional art. Be aware that some loops may have loose elastic or other irregularities - this should not influence the aesthetic quality or durability of the finished product. … just pull the elastic out or clip the loose thread before weaving. It is important to handle the loops carefully when weaving so that the loops don’t begin to unravel. Occasionally loops are too small to fit easily on the jumbo loom, but most can be carefully stretched & made to fit, or they can be used on one of the smaller traditional-size (7"-8") looms. WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON LOOPS so contact us if there is any question whether they will fit on your existing loom. Our loops will fit on most large potholder looms that have 20-22 pins per side & have a width of 9" between pins, but are designed to go with the jumbo loom kit that we sell in our Etsy Store. We do not recommend purchasing these loops for use on a Harrisville Pro, Cottage, Craft Sanity, or Cindwood loom because they may be too tight to fit on the loom. SHIPPING: We do our best to calculate the proper postage, but sometimes we are wrong. Rest assured, if you are overcharged for shipping, we will either include extra loops or refund the overcharge through Paypal."
