    >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

    >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

    >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
