Thank you so much for this very detailed and excellent tutorial!! I just finished the blanket and tagged you on Instagram so maybe you will get to see it. Thank you thank you!

I'm right now fighting with a linen warp for the first time, and I have to say that I HATE it! 😭 I can't get the right tension, and don't know how to fix this mess...

Following for part 2 😢 and it’s been a year ago ?

I just found your video and am going to try this. Please explain your floating selvages. I’ve only used one warp thread in a slot and go over or under. It looks like you have one in a slot and one in a hole.

OK I see everyone loves the idea! but what am I going to drop with them?. I am a weaver and got Ashford loom, but not sure of the use for them thank you.

Muy hermoso

Wow

One of the reasons why the down shed gets sloppy is because the hole threads get stretched up out of true and stretched down out of true, while the slot threads just literally don’t move. they appear to move because sometimes they’re at the top of the heddle, and sometimes they’re at the bottom of the heddle, but that’s because the heddle itself is moving. What this means is that the same tightness on stretched threads is a little bit not tight on unstretched threads, namely the slot threads. If you stick some thing that will eat up a little bit of length like a dowel or a piece of skinny PVC pipe, you can park that all the way in the back and depending on how much looser it is than the threads through the holes, will determine how far back your length equalizer fits around the back beam. But that should tighten up your slot threads so that They will match the tension of the threads through the holes. I hope that helps.

I use a counter balance loom for linen because linen doesn’t stretch at all, a counter balance loom will drop all the other shafts when you lift a shaft, so all the other strings are pulled down as you lift the others. It’s just not possible on a table loom but if you release your shaft before pushing your reed back it might all work out because you’re holding your current weft pick in place while the tension balances back out, so pull your reed then drop your shaft then push the reed back. Once you use a counter balance loom on linen you understand why they exist 😂

The towels look really nice! I would have put in a tension beam in the back with the linen threads. Just to make the shed clearer and the weaving smoother. Spraying the linen warp with water is a must in our dry nordic climate. We also put wet towels in the back on the warp, or a bucket of water underneath the loom to increase the moisture level in the air. But all that is to prevent the linen threads from snapping which is our big problem. If you do the same on the counter march, try a tension beam! Congratulations on the beautiful towels and thank you for a nice video :)

Very nice towels.

This is brilliant. Super helpful to me.These combs look like a good way of being able to process wool while saving up for the more expensive combs. Thanks for sharing ❤

Do you have a pattern for this by chance that you can share?

I have been there and done that. So glad I am not alone.

This is so pretty! The texture must be so neat. What a great way to use up stash! Thank you for sharing! 💗🙏🏽

Just thought you may get a kick out of knowing that I enjoyed your video. Im a big stereotypical truck driver learning a bit about weaving on my off time. Future dream is a wool producing homestead or farm which is what started my watching. Thank you very much for all the great info, I will catch up on your past videos and watch any new ones. And congratulations on over a thousand subscribers, that is a great achievement and a testimony that you are sharing a valuable knowledge to people.

from Gerry- This is a great idea. I have skeins of the eyelash that I could use in a shawl or scarf. The result is really pretty. God bless.

i m sem by sem work

Fill the shuttle in with wood filler! Sand fine!

I've had a wonderful afternoon crocheting along to your video. I know how to crochet however I don't read a pattern well. I'm looking forward to receiving the pattern and will absoultley follow along with your videos.

🥰

Found your video very informative and useful. Hopefully your ok. Did you anymore progress with part 2?

Has the pins ever break?

Found out why I have not found your pdf patterns you sent

Thank you gir mskibvvthese videos

Love the video just little disappointed thst after buying the pattern it’s not arrived to my emsil gor download of pdf but I know your very busy at this time mskjng videos to complete the project

Did anyone put a border on theirs?

Hi where do I find your next videos please on this video 👍

Welcome back yup it’s time to get busy crafting

Bravo!

Following for Part 2! 😊

Handy Dandy that!!!!!

I’ve never seen those combs before!! I do have hand cards and a drum carder, but what I use (and continue to use since I began my fibre journey 5y ago) is a dog *comb* (not brush!). Here’s how I do mine: Do this before washing. Don’t disturb the locks (DON’T “open” them up!). Gather 2-4 (depending on thickness of each lock) keeping the cut end level with each other. Hold securely and start combing. When that half is done, turn, and do the other half. It’s really quick to do. I have just finished doing a 2.2kg corriedale fleece. Now, washing is a breeze as all the dirt has been removed in the carding. I have my “own design” method for washing fleece using baskets (2, with the fibre “sandwiched” in between to prevent agitation. Wash in small amounts in a plastic container (150g max) is best. That sounds painfully slow, but it really saves on water!!!!!

Thanks for clarifying for me how pinwheel happens! Sort of seems to me that a series of holding sticks, one for each of the patterns - as traditional backstrap weavers do - would be easier that all this picking up. You wouldn't be able to use the rigid heddle for beating, you'd have to use a beater stick. Don't get me wrong. I have endless patience for pickup weaving when creating images, but this kind of fine repetition.... well, I guess it's still faster that stranded knitting.

Just found this awesome video so thank you very much it’s very helpful and full of great tips & you explain everything so well I’m looking forward to seeing more videos from you ❤

LOVE YOUR TUTORIAL VERY EASY TO FOLLOW

Just started this lovely afghan. Thankyou so much for a lovely tutorial 💗

Fabulous. Just love this. Thankyou so much. ❤ just what I was looking for, and a great tutorial. More, more , more, please.

The bee capping forks are a great alternative to sorry expensive combs. Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to pass it on.

Just found your video and feel more confident weaving with fuzzy yarn. I appreciate your style of teaching. Anxious to see your other videos. Extra paper on the front and back is a great idea. Thank you.

thank you! your a great instructor!

Loved your video. Eager to see part 2.

If you ever feel like you want to upgrade a bit without breaking the bank dreaming robots have a nice yarn counter for a pretty decent price

WOW I just got my #24 4 shaft Ashford table loom and to tell the truth I been challenged by the loom; any drop of information from you is great thank you, so much.

Hello, do you have a materials list for this project? TIA

Looking forward to part 2!

thanks so much for giving a simple explanation to a complicated pattern!

ALso THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. I love this pattern and to be able to figure it out on the rigid heddle loom is wonderful. I wondered if you are the one that figured it out for us all? Again, If you would be willing to give us instruction on the salvage. That would be great.

from Gerry. This is gorgeous. Blessings
