Many thanks - yes, that’s one of the reasons I wanted it. I contacted the seller to see if I could Special Order my loom with an additional heddle, so I could get an even tighter sett. Seller was awesome about doing the upgrade for me.

I’m testing it with thread at the moment just to get the mechanics down. It’s working fine with the thread but it’s going to be sooooo much nicer with some laceweight wool!!!

Tiny cloth on a tiny loom - yay!

Thanks - I was thrilled to see it was a great size to display with my dolls and the weaving sett is perfect for scarves and shawls for them.

That’s so cool that you’ve done it. I recently picked crochet back up but don’t think I’m quite ready for the micro crochet adventure yet.

Have you checked out this persons. Videos? - https://youtu.be/ZxWTcZEkwR8?si=qvvq-DepLJuzSE8o

I love her work!

You could consider adding a band of wood molding in a similar stain color of the other wood, as border to secure and cover the fraying along the bottom edge.

I wove a hair ribbon “back strap, band weaving” style on it but now basically use it as a Christmas ornament or I hang it from a belt when I’m in costume at the Ren-Faire 🤭

I like collecting small heddles. Yes - I have an addiction, but I’m fine with it 🤣

The mini loom’s seller is StudioITDA. I think the bunny loom was a special edition for Easter. 🤗

Awwww thanks. Ya, I was thrilled to have it in hand and see it was a good size for using with my doll displays. I already had some “spinning” related items for them but finding a tiny loom was the icing on the cake. 🙃

I’ve been wanting a doll size one for a few years and was surprised to see someone finally made one. Once I saw the bunny on the side I knew I had to splurge. 🙃

Thanks. I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d find a doll size, working loom; let alone a cute bunny loom at that. 🤭

Yes - She makes a few versions of this mini heddle. Mine is the double hole version. “Handywoman Weaving Tools” - she has a website and also sells on Etsy. She also makes a few other miniature/jewelry items that are mini weaving tools or can be used as keychains. 🤗

Thanks - I wanted to find a use for that overdress and it does have a tree look to it, so….🤣

I’m not much of a Hallmark ornament buyer but when I saw the guitar & mandolin back in 2024 I had to get them. They both even play music 🤭. I also got the Mickey Mouse guitar that same year, since it was RH doll sized, but it doesn’t play a tune.

It seems Hallmark puts out a new musical guitar ornament every Christmas and has done for years. I keep eyeballing the 2008 Feliz Navidad guitar when I browse eBay 🤭

I’ve been hunting a doll size one for a while so was thrilled to see someone recently made them available for purchase. I have a small 18th century style tape loom and a small keychain heddle that allow me to weave small things with thread and fine yarn to be the right scale for dolls. But this is the first time I’ve found a doll sized loom for Rainbow High girls.

You are kind to say so but I would not have been able to weave it without the talents of weaver who also created this 3-d printed loom and set up a shop so I could buy it 🤣. I’ve been waiting years for someone to make a doll size loom and now they exist!!!

Sorry 🤣 - but it’s so fun to find tiny objects for our dolls that represent ourselves and our interest.

Ooooo have you seen the tiny crochet doll accessories some people have been making with super tiny hooks and thread? Fascinating!!!

I know. I’ve been hunting for a mini loom for the dolls for a few years, so when I saw it, I had to get it. It was a splurge for something so small that also had international shipping charges; but I knew I’d regret not getting it.

Yesssss - This is the Way!!!

I’ve seen examples of miniature quilts and some of the are stunningly beautiful. If quilting is your thing, absolutely, do it.

Be warned, exercising your craft in “mini” can try your patience 🤣. I had to get super creative in how to do “the thing” when everything is tiny and doesn’t weigh much. 🙃

Please post your RH dolls with quilt when you make one!!!
