Acually I have used a loom with a shuttle, but this is a different technique called twining. The 2 strips of fabric are being - for lack of a better discription - wrapped around each warp, one in front and one in back and not really woven in a traditional loom. This is really an easy technique - soothing, and just what I needed for my cleanse my crafting palate. I am accomplishing something in very small amounts of time(sometimes 5 or 10 minutes) and I am repurposing/reusing/recycling some stuff that would normally be discarded, so kind of cleansing my sewing and storage space as well.
