    Hi, I'm starting my 5th gr. on a circular weaving on a bent hanger. The
    students bend them into a circle leaving the hook intact. Then warp by
    wrapping the hanger to look like a bycicle spoke. I have them start by
    tying the yarn at the hook, then going across to the opposite side and
    wrap around the hanger 10 times, then back across to the opposite side,
    wrap ten, repeating until the hanger is covered. We sometimes tie the
    middle to make a clear center. Then they weave the weft by tying it to
    a center strand and using a pencil for the shuttle, go over and under
    all the way around, pulling in as necessary. Each round should be
    checked to make sure it is going opposite of the second, etc... Hope
    this helps. Betsy
