City Fun Crafty: Loop of the Loom

Right before Christmas I had the opportunity to try weaving for the first time. I'd never had much interest in looming before but the girl I nanny for AKA "Little Bit" had and loves it. So she took me to Loop of the Loom. Located in a tiny below level spot on the upper East side, Loop of the Loom is a cozy little spot to create really awesome pieces of art. If you've never done weaving before, you might be intimidated by the huge loom at first but the actual act of weaving is fairly simple and once you get the hang of it, really relaxing. Kind of a "wax on, wax off" type of deal. In the two hour span we had to work I created a rainbow piece and a smaller piece of blues for my mother. Unfortunately, it expensive. A two hour session will run you about $70 but even if it leaves a bit of a hole in my pocket, I enjoyed it so much that I'm tempted to make a return trip.
