I went to B&Q to look for suitable wood, they don’t sell Hard woods, but did have some fairly hard smooth planed wood. I bought a pack of 4, 2.1m x 44mm x 34mm. I chose to set my nails on the hypotenuse (longest side) at 1cm (3\/8inch), giving me 2oo on each side.\u00a0 I figured that 1\/2inch that everywhere seems to recommend would give me too loose a weave for the yarns I am likely to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I decided to build a Tri-Loom, after seeing Thiftwizard’s Tri-loom when I visited her house for a spin-In.
