1. Cut teeth along the top and bottom of a piece of card.
Loop a single thread of wool between the teeth furthest left. Tie a knot
at the back. Thread the loose end between the remaining teeth, and knot
behind the last tooth. This creates the 'warp' threads.

2. To start weaving, tie a second thread (the 'weft') to the right hand
warp thread. Next, work across weaving the weft thread over and under.
Then work back across, this time weaving under and over the opposite warp
threads.

|
|
3. Keep the weft threads pushed together. You can change the colour and
pattern by trying a new weft thread on to the last one. To remove the
completed tapestry, bend the card and carefully lift off the warp threads.
