Virtual Bead Loom
How to Use a Bead Loom 2
This is a giant loom used only for teaching purposes. Here we see how the beads are placed between the vertical strands or "warp". They have already been threaded once to line them up. The first horizontal thread is under the warp. Next they will have a second horizontal thread passed through them, but this time it will pass over the warp. That holds them in place. Each time we thread a new row, we can change the colors of the beads. For example, we might replace two white beads with two red beads in each row. That would create this pattern.
