Make flowers in all sorts of shapes and sizes with this Flower Looms set by Opry. The technique is a simplified form of a popular type of needle lace called Tenerife in 19th-century Spain, which was performed on a round frame with pins. Wrap a strand of knitting yarn or ribbon in a specific shape around the pins, then fix the centre of the flower with sewing or embroidery stitches. These handmade flowers are a brilliant way to decorate fashion and home accessories, such as gloves, hats or pillows. It’s also a nice option to sew or crochet several flowers together.
This set contains 6 looms in different shapes and sizes, in order to make flowers or other figures using ribbons, trims, raffia, strips of fabric, embroidery thread or different sorts of yarn. The looms are made of plastic. The 3 round, blue rings have a diameter of 3.2, 5.0 and 7.2cm. The 2 squared, pink looms measure 3 x 3cm and 7.5 x 7.5cm. The hexagonal, pink loom has a diameter of 6cm. The set is supplied with a plastic darning needle.
