The Saori Art Yarn Maker is a nifty, addictive and playful tool to keep you making your own yarns for weaving. It helps you create short lengths of unique yarn using the on board bobbin winder on the Saori loom.

Basically you tie together several lengths of yarn and attach them at one end to the bobbin winder and the other to the hook on the Art Yarn Maker. Add some wool sliver, thrums or whatever fibrey mass within the yarn and then use another yarn to ‘wrap’ the mix.

Don’t restrict yourself to yarn. Try placing elastic within the middle of the yarn set up to make a Saori Art Yarn hair scruch. Or use wire to make a sculptural yarn…even wear it it your hair as Hiromi is here.

Here is a short primer showing Kenzo Jo at work on the Art Yarn Maker.
