On Vijayadashami day my sister gifted me a small weaving loom. Thanks to her , I simply used my left over yarns to weave this mat. This was my first attempt.After weaving I realised that I had to strictly follow two things.
a. Never start to weave from the edge. Always start from the middle as it will be easy to loop the extra yarns.
b. Leave at least a gap of 2 inches from the frame on both sides. So when we have finished weaving we will have sufficient yarn thread available for us to tie a knot or create a tassel.
