Swatch Critters for Pin Looms
More Swatch Critter Patterns
Swatch Critters for Zoom Loom/4 inch pin looms!
These cuddly critters are my answer to "what to do with these little squares?" woven on the Zoom Loom or any pin loom that weaves 4" squares.
UPDATE FOR 2024!
The Swatch Critter kits all used Mountain Colors Yarns. However, as of March 1, 2023, Diana and Leslie (the powerhouses/owners of Mountain Colors Yarn) retired from the yarn dyeing business after 32 years. Since the Swatch Critter kits exclusively used Mountain Colors Yarns, this means that the Swatch Critter Kits also retired. If you are looking for Swatch Critter KITS, check The Woolery retail sales website. The Woolery carried all the Swatch Critters and Holidays Kits and will sell them until their kits stock runs out. They also carry some of the Swatch Critter patterns.
BIG NEWS FOR 2025!
I am delighted to announce that in the Fall of 2025, there will be a pattern book with all 30 Swatch Critter patterns I created over the years. The pattern book is being published by Schiffer Publishing. Watch the dje handwovens Facebook page for more updates. The book will not contain the patterns for the Holidays designs.
HOWEVER!
If you just can't wait that long to create Critters, until January 2025, you can purchase any of the Swatch Critters patterns directly from me. I will continue to sell the Holiday Series Patterns through 2025. All the instructions you need are in the pattern, you supply the yarn. Knitting yarns In DK or Light Worsted weights work best for weaving the squares. Other supplies needed vary by Critter: Felt (for faces), pipe cleaners and stuffing of your choice and are noted on the patterns. Templates for the faces are also in the pattern. Average finished critter size is 7" long by 4-5" high. If you are interested in purchasing patterns, please use the Contact Page tab on the menu at the top of this page to email me. Thank you!
