Flags, you say? *You* get a flag, and *YOU* get a flag! Everybody gets flags!
Tricolors, anyway. 
Matthew noted that the 7″ traditional loop is 2/3 the size of the 10″ pro loop. So… 3 traditional loops folded in half equal one pro loop. Therefore, we can use this ratio to create three colorblocks across the width of our potholder!
We wove the French flag with denim, white, and cayenne traditional loops.
(You could use this same technique to make a square pro-sized potholder with matching colors of traditional-size loops in one direction and pro loops in the other.)
The photos below show the process, starting with warping the loom with loops folded over and threaded through each other. I wove the center section first, as I always do, but you could also start from either end. Before transitioning from one section to the next, check the next section for twisted loops and untwist them so they all line up nicely.
Hi, i would love to be able to do something similar for the Luxembourg flag, but I’m a bit of a novice and can’t quite figure out how, if its even possible (closest i can get is on the 27×27 peg loom, red + white checker stripe, solid white stripe, light blue + white checker stripe. Which looks okay but id rather it not have the checker pattern and be solid stripes). Any advice?
Emma,
The flag of Luxemberg is similar to that of France, just rotated, and using a different shade of blue.

If you have each of those three colors in both 10″/pro loops and 7″/traditional loops, you can use the technique described above.
Warp the 10″/pro loom using 7″/traditional loops folded around each other in these photos.

Then use a set of 10″/pro loops to weave through those in corresponding bands.
I hope that helps!
