I bought my first loom in 2012, and I had no idea what it was or how to use it. It was £3 on eBay, and I tended to buy craft materials and experiment with them to eventually blog about them. I’ve always been creative and was brought up in a creative family, so I was always excited and interested in new crafts and materials. What I didn’t know was that this loom was going to be the craft that stuck, the craft that I wanted to do most days. I am still excited by it. My weaving style has changed over the years but what has stuck with me is the want and ability to experiment with the techniques I’ve learned.
