{"product_id":"schiffer-publishing-swatch-critters-from-the-pin-loom","title":"Swatch Critters from the Pin Loom","description":"\u003cp\u003ePin loom weaving produces small squares quickly, perfect for coasters and scarves, but those leftover swatches deserve better lives. Deb Essen's book transforms these woven squares into three-dimensional stuffed animals, from recognizable dogs and cats to whimsical dinosaurs and hedgehogs. The technique builds on basic pin loom skills you likely already have, then adds construction methods for joining squares into shapes, stuffing techniques, and finishing details that bring personality to each critter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep-by-step instructions cover 30 different animals, with guidance on color changing within squares, pattern variations, and twill techniques that add visual texture. The approach works whether you're deliberately weaving squares for specific projects or finally using up that drawer of experimental swatches. Instructions assume fundamental weaving knowledge but explain the assembly and shaping processes that turn flat fabric into rounded forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8.5x11 format provides clear photographs of construction stages and finished examples. At 168 pages, the book offers enough variety to keep experienced fiber artists engaged while remaining accessible to weavers just gaining confidence with their pin looms. You'll develop an entirely new application for a tool often limited to small, flat projects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing","offers":[{"title":"each","offer_id":47998565581029,"sku":"43413","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/schiffer-publishing-swatch-critters-from-the-pin-loom","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
