I am learning new things about weaving every day. I thought I had seen most forms of looms, but today I found another.
The peg loom is not a traditional loom at all but a series of pegs through which you weave your yarns and then just pull your warp through. It's so simple really that you hardly have to work at all and can just sit there making these rhythmic movements, changing colors as you please, until a rug suddenly appears below you.
Commonly used in Navajo culture, they are really easy and cheap to make as well as to use.
This is what I made in a workshop today:
