My weave-along will likely be my desperate attempt to finish weaving my parents Christmas gift. I have about a quarter left and the image is a section of a 1928 painting of New York by Juaquin Garcia Torres. It's way more complicated than I anticipated; it's looking good so far but the panic is starting to set in! No trees in it though I'm afraid.

This is for the person who asked about building a wool palet in small quantities. Epic yarns by Timeless Textiles. Their Sampler has 10 yards each of ALL their 114 colors for $55! You can also order each color in smaller amounts. $30 yards for $3, 1/2 ounce -$4, one ounce-$7 and so on.

bonjour de france merci beaucoup pour tous vos merveilleux conseils, mais il est dommage de ne pas trouver votre livre en Francais !!

Thanks for this, Rebecca. What time do these livestreams start? I got it completely wrong and missed it.

Thank you for these videos. Sorry couldn’t make it live.😊🇨🇦

Thank you! De-stressing in Seattle, indeed!

What a nice festival! I’m glad there’s fiber to be found. I’ve been to knit eat in Lyon, France which is the closest fiber festival from where I live and no spinning, no carding, no combing, no tapestry was represented. Overcrowded, a 2 hour line to get in (even with your purchased ticket) and just plenty of very commercial yarns for purchase

Thanks for taking us along and giving us a look at this Santa Fe festival!

Very timely post, thank you !

Hi Rebecca, in Aubusson hills and valley are called full and empty warps.

Thanks, Rebecca, I too missed the time change, yesterday. I caught the last 4 minutes. Thank goodness for the recording 🙂

Hello from Denmark. 🧶👍

If you lose your nut, take the handle to the hardware store and they'll be able to help you get the correct replacement. 💕🌞🌵😷

Thanks for this Rebecca, as always. What is the name of your online class for tapestry yarn construction, please? :)

Thanks Rebecca.

Fyi..pronounced Quebec-wah. Brassard is great and the seine twine is good

Super book! Thank you.😊❤️

Thanks for this. I’m looking at another loom and was wondering about Mirex with shedding device.

It is great to be able to see change the shed even f I miss it live. Thank you😊❤️

Best tapestry book EVER!! ❤❤❤❤

I went to see Murmuration in Shetland, yesterday as part of Shetland Wool Week. It is being premiered here. It was amazing and inspiring, not only the tapestry but the collaborative process. So I’m going to sign up for your Introduction course and do tapestry instead of watching it!

I think it is wonderful that your book is available from *anywhere* that sells books - I've seen it in my local bookshop in a smallish town in the southwest of England and I just think that is so cool. Congrats on your success.

Side note- My son has, since middle school (after an event that left him feeling powerless), been registering people to vote. He will be voting in the federal election this year for the first time!. One thing he has done- that we can all do- is to give his friends voter registration forms on their 18th birthdays. He always presents it as the gift that it is, and valuable right/responsibility of adulthood, in a decorated envelope or tied with ribbon like a diploma. And I apologize for bragging, but I really think it's been a terrific thing to do.

I really enjoy your tapestry content, Rebecca! A question for you or any other weavers who want to chime in: I’ve started weaving on a size medium Handywoman loom and I’m really enjoying it. But I often have trouble with the warp threads slipping off the “prongs”. Is there a trick to preventing this issue? Thanks!

Thank you, Rebecca. It’s been fascinating, watching the creative process at work. I’ve learned loads. I’m enjoying working through your book too 🙂

what's being crafted in the video please or how does it become a tapestry people will be most familiar with

It’s really useful to see you start a new piece. Thanks

Where is the tiny loom from that you held up un the beginning of the video? I've been looking for something like that to no avail.

Great video on the product. Thanks

Looks like a bone folder would be a good option, too.

Away to set up loom to reduce/prevent neck pain, maybe hang from ceiling or on bicycle stand or ...

Our fire alarm beeped, 2nd time we read can be dust so used the computer vac and it was quiet thereafter (and still havnt put up on wall).

The weft tension tips were really helpful. Thank you!

Спасибо большое, Ребекка! Ваши занятия для меня очень полезны. Эх, язык не понимаю, но глаза - мои помощники.

Someone suggested music stands for tapestry loom weaving. I’m an orchestra director & music teacher. I’ve used music stands for this. It’s not my first choice as I have a wood desk that’s the perfect height and an adjustable desk chair. If you like to tilt your loom backwards a bit, a music stand could work. If you like it perfectly upright, you might find that you have to tilt it when you leave it and use silicone bands to keep your loom from tipping forwards. Check the lowest & highest height range for the stand trays to ensure that it reaches what you need it to be. Also, silicone bands come in large sizes & can hold your loom edges on a stand or an easel without damaging the loom or the tapestry. Amazon sells long bands in different colors that work well. I also use them in setting up a jig for 4-selvidges weaving. Your average kids’ metal folding stand will be too light so avoid those, even if you like the colors. They will tip over. You want to look for sturdy black stands that schools buy. Schools buy one of two brands: Wenger or Manhasset. A Wenger Bravo metal stand is heavy and probably stands the best chance of working as a loom stand for a Mirrix or Arras or larger loom.. It is a truly substantial music stand. It could easily hold a Mirrix Big Sister or Joni loom and maybe the Arras. Smaller looms as well. The Bravo has a storage tray under the main stand tray that can be used for storing scissors, yarn, butterflies, pens, beaters, & rolled up cartoons. The Wenger Classic stands have plastic bases & plastic trays. I used these stands with my 10-year old students and loved them but think it’s too light for a Mirrix Big Sister or Arras loom. It would be fine for other smaller wooden hand looms. The Wenger Preface & RoughHouse stands are almost as heavy as the Bravo. The RoughHouse controls the height with a squeeze lever instead of a pull/push sliding post. I think they would work for the Mirrix Big Sister & Arras but haven’t tried them. The Preface is an older model so it may not be available. The Manhasset stand, one model only, will tip over as easily as the Wenger Classic so my same advice applies. It’s all metal but not as substantial as the Wenger Bravo. I don’t love the newer versions as I think they’ve become lighter & lighter and don’t stay in working condition for very long without frequent maintenance. The trays on these stands need tightening every so often. It’s not hard to do … I taught my 10 year old students how to tighten them.

The scale of the mill is mind-blowing! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, Rebecca. It was good to see a project from the very beginning 🙂

I am having huge TH-cam issues, so just testing that I can add a comment - no need to respond

It’s good to see you!!!
