The Kayu multi loom was born more than 5 years ago on a sheet of paper. The idea was to create my ideal pin loom! After spending years building my own looms in different geometric shapes and already running out of space to store them.. I wanted to design the pin loom of my dreams.... Continue Reading →
New year, new project! This beautiful and practical idea of hanging baskets was not entirely my invention… browsing Pinterest, I saw several bags like these, but crocheted. They seemed so easy and fast to make! From a simple crocheted triangle, they made these little cute and useful bags. Then I remembered my Kayu multi loom... Continue Reading →
After the last blog post, I was left with the feeling that more examples for woven on the bias pieces were missing: combinations of shapes, colors, textures, etc. >> Read the PREVIOUS POST on how to create Christmas placemats by joining bias-woven pieces. The truth is that the possibilities are unlimited, there are so many... Continue Reading →
For me, the magic of pin looms happens when we join the woven pieces and form something new and unexpectable. Because sometimes it is difficult to imagen that joining woven squares we can achieve that are way more complex and amazing than simple throws, don´t you think? It's hard for us to imagine objects in... Continue Reading →
When you weave a new piece on a pin loom, do you design it beforehand or just throw yourself into the creative abyss? In my case, I do both. Sometimes I have a design quite studied, sketched and the colors well thought out before I start. Other times I don't previously think about anything, I... Continue Reading →
Have you ever woven on a circular loom? What you get, by default, is a woven circle, obviously! But have you ever wondered if you can achieve the same with a square loom, like the Kayu loom? That's what I asked myself a couple of weeks ago and started to warp and try. What I... Continue Reading →
When the cold days begin, it is inevitable to think about knitting, don´t you think? More specifically, think about what we are going to knit this winter. Perhaps where you live, these days the campaigns of knitted squares to make solidarity blankets begin and you love being part of them year after year, knitting squares... Continue Reading →
A few months ago one of my students asked me where she could get woven square designs: combinations of colors and stitches, basically. At first I thought I didn't know where from, because maybe the fun lies in inventing the patterns by ourselves, or not? Maybe not! My next thought was, EUREKA, she is now... Continue Reading →
After this post in which I told you about my experience adapting 4x4" pin loom patterns to looms 3 times larger, like the Kayu, I decided to give the 1st free Webinar to show the process in more detail and also the live examples. I loved the experience! When going "live", many things... Continue Reading →
You have probably heard that when someone teach you something you forget it faster than when you learn it by yourself. Although learning it by yourself takes more time, no doubt. But there is something even more important that you should know: when you learn something by yourself, you discover things that no one could... Continue Reading →
When you have many patterns to weave on 4x4" looms (Zoom Loom / Weave-It) and also pattern books and perhaps you have already ventured to invent your own stitches and patterns, surely you have wondered if you can use them on other larger looms, to make larger pieces. The answer is YES! And in this... Continue Reading →
What I'm going to tell you, I'm sure it happens to you too.. When I don't have a project in mind, I take some leftover yarn from here and there and... I try to see what comes out! And that's how, using the Lion Bran yarns that I had left over from the Pompa Poncho,... Continue Reading →
This year on Mother´s Day I am bringing you a surprise project for all weaving moms as a special gift for you. The novelty is that I made this project in 5 days and that exactly is how I published it, from Monday to Friday: each day I posted in my Instagram and The Ullvuna... Continue Reading →
When it comes to being creative, many of us are afraid of mixing colors, of not combining them correctly, of making it hard to make a garment, of finishing it and only then seeing that the colors we choose do not completely convince us... does this happened to you ? Well, today I want to... Continue Reading →
A few days ago I finished a weaving on the bias pin loom class at @stitchesevents in which my students asked me a lot about yarn thicknesses: what is the ideal one for pin looms, how to distinguish the right one among rustic yarns, sometimes without classification, what to do if I don´t want to...

About 13 years ago I discovered pin looms. My mother had gone to Argentina for a trip and she had seen an artisan in the street weaving with this "wooden frame with nails", which caused her a lot of curiosity. My mom is an avid crocheter, regid loom weaver, macramé maker and knitter, but this... Continue Reading →
In my newfound (silent) campaign "wear your weavies," I've been more inspired than ever. I want to show how exploitable loom-woven squares are, that you can create infinitely with them, but I also want to create objects and clothes that I like, that I love the idea of wearing, hoping that the same will happen... Continue Reading →
The surprise project that I bring you today is made with the 3 geometric figures of the KAYU: square, rectangle and triangle. The Bang Bag, a color explosion (as the Big Bang!) It is the first project in which I integrate the 3 figures and the purpose is precisely that, to open your creative mind... Continue Reading →
I've been wondering for a long time what "moves" me about this particular technique, pin loom weaving. And then, the next question, what moves you to follow it, to use my pin looms, to make my patterns. They are doubts that are always there, but what I do know is my purpose in this and...

Diving in IG a random day, I came across this incredible label and I bought a few yarns immediately. They feel like cotton made, fresh and cozy, but not too heavy as cotton. I searched a bit more where this label came from and I could know the story behind her founder, Rosario. A few... Continue Reading →
I have said several times how much I love woven squares. They are easy and fast to make and the possibilities are endless. Until today I still imagine things I could do starting with something as simple as a woven squares. It just inspires me a lot. To crate a woven piece, I like trying... Continue Reading →
I took 3 small balls of yarn I had here and there. With the three of them at the same time I wove the larger size of square on the Kayu weaving loom (you can either knit, crochet or weave a 12x12" square) and voilà! ..I started playing with it and a golden paper napkin... Continue Reading →
Now that I found an easy way to digitally design patterns (and really enjoying it) today I bring you the first pattern that I have ever designed and tested in the Kayu weaving loom! This is not rapid weaving (weaving on the bias), it is regular weaving, so you don`t actually need a Kayu weaving... Continue Reading →
I discovered this TV series just a few weeks ago and I have seen the three seasons already (and some episodes more than once). The story is so complete.. love, adventure, extreme danger and the unforgettable Scotland of course. But most of all, I fell in love with the costumes that give life to each... Continue Reading →
