BIOLOOM: FROM BIOPLASTIC TO FABRIC

  1. Cut with circular saw 4 wood xx cm and 4 xx cm. (In my case, I used wood scraps that I found in the lab)
  2. Drill holes in all four xxcm woods at the same height. Join two and two with butterflies.
  3. Once joined, unfold and glue a horizontal bar with wood glue to generate firmness.
  4. Cut laser on a finer wood (i used 0.9mm) attached file
  5. Make like two sandwiches: wood, laser cut file (similar to teeth), wood.
  6. Place one at the top and one at the bottom also with butterflies, which will make it lock but not limited in length to the fabric
  7. Thread the loom and skeins with bioplastic tapes
  8. And ready to knit!:)
