Yes, hurry up Sally.  Haven't you made anything on it yet?   

[Bionic]

I've got as far as putting the string through the pegs

That's good start.  Now get weaving.

Another recycling tip for a pegloom is to tear old towels into strips and weave them to make absorbant mats .

What a brilliant  !  Or sheets... or bath towels...

Again when ex and I had our spinning and weaving workshop, my youngest had finally given up wearing nappies (the towelling type) so I gave them all a good wash and used them to make a rug.  I had a young woman in the workshop who was looking for something for her OH to buy for her birthday.  she picked up this rug and I told her what it was, then she looked at other things.  When her OH came in, she said, "I've chosen what I want.  This.  And guess what it's made from."  Yes, it was the recycled nappy rug.

I get the ideas from Utube, I love the idea of using a pegloom for recycling.

I've also saved all the orange net sacks that pony carrots come in.  I reckon I can make a doormat with them if I cut them into strips.

Ive got a set of six (or maybe needles that work like a peg loom (I think) but you can do it easioly sitting with it on your knee, Think I may try a rug. Have done a scalf with them with the kids many moons ago (sewed the strips of woven fabric together to make the desired width)
Question do you normally use a cotton thread in the needles/pegs? ie the warp/weft (i cant remember which way round it is.....Im sure thaere is an easy way to remember, but I forgotten it!)

[Lesley Silvester]

I've seen those but not tried them.  To remember which is warp and which is weft, I always taught 'The warp comes towards you and the weft goes from the left.

[Fleecewife]

You warp up a loom (wefting it up wouldn't sound right) ie stringing it, and weft must be an old past tense of to weave, so the bits you weave across are weft     Works for me 

[Mel Rice]

I remember one now too
Keep warp taut (tight)

[Fleecewife]

My OH just mentioned that a sailing ship is warped into dock, by pulling it sideways with lots of ropes, which must have looked like the warp on a loom.

[Fleecewife]

I've decided that my pegloom is too long (I think it's about a metre) and unwieldy, so I'm going to cut it into two pieces, one a third of the length and the other two thirds.   Too late if I change my mind afterwards 

[animalcrackers]

I think peg looms are fantastically simple and absorbing. I am currently making a rug with my gotland fleece which i washed and carded. I made a rug from old t shirts hivh worked really well.
