I wear many hats in my life and have done more types of jobs than most would believe. But above all else, I am a creative. I also have an extremely positive outlook and truly believe that anything can be achieved. This combination of traits sets me up to really explore why things happen the way they do and --taking that further-- how can I take that understanding to alter the outcome? Many years ago I discovered the joy of teaching. This allowed me to take my dissected understanding of a technique and share it with others in a way they would fully understand.
I LOVE all things fiber! It began with crochet and over the years enveloped spinning, knitting, quilting, weaving, dyeing, embroidery, etc... The only thing better than creating is teaching. In addition to youtube, I offer individual and small group project classes. I have a BFA & MFA in Fine Art with a focus on textiles. And working outside the box is my specialty :O)
I look forward to assisting you on YOUR fiber journey!

Prepping Warp on Warp board
Weavers will often need to measure their warp yarns before putting them on (or dressing) their loom. This can be done on a very basic tool called a warping board. In this video, I show you how I measure and calculate the number of warp yarns I am preparing for a project. I have lots of tips and options so that you can decide what works best for you.

Dressing a loom -front to back
มุมมอง 199K8 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a video for beginning weavers. It shows step-by-step how to dress (thread) a table loom from front-to-back. Although it is done on a table loom, the same technique is used to dress a floor loom.

This is a steel and thread art installation. Each frame has been welded, affixed with custom springs, and hand-woven with holographic thread.
Do you have paterns o can recomend a book or PDF paterns?? I live in Chile and I DOn’t get here. I apreciate so much your videos Thanks
@@JaimeBermeo-z8e this is my favorite book. It's easy to understand with great explanations for beginning weavers. It also covers a large variety of weave structures. I recommend the spiral bound, so it can lay open flat while you weave. a.co/d/7cnGdOC. Good luck with your weaving!
Thanks for amazing video, I’m clear now
How do we create the X’s of the white thread? I am new and I would be starting from scratch
Here's a video I created on preparing your warp. I hope it helps. th-cam.com/video/DjFSfKW9lQg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WRKMt54-6jdet58T
I weave with my homespun 2-ply wool yarn so I have to wind 7.5 yards to get 5 yards of finished cloth. Warp waste and shrinkage in fulling and dyeing account for the loss in length.
@@loganpollock1689 so true! Warp waste is one of the toughest things for me, especially when it's my own homespun. I always save it. Usually I overdye it and use it to add embroidery details to my art pieces.

Incredibly helpful, thanks!
I just got a Leclerc Dorothy table loom (first real loom!) and this video has been an absolute life saver. Thank you!
Congratulations! I'm so glad you found it helpful 😊
Great video!! New way to tie to front rod
This is the best instructional video on this subject. Thank you! I searching for you video on making a warp but couldn’t find it. Is it still online anywhere?
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Here is the link to making the warp. th-cam.com/video/DjFSfKW9lQg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_0cThpHNvHIcSQkF
@@sandraclarkfineart6903 thank you! Your videos helped me warp my loom for the very first time and now I’m weaving. Yay!
WOW!!!! Okay, this is by FAR the best instructional video I've seen yet. I am new to weaving, just bought a Dorothy loom, and I was feeling SO lost because there just isn't anything helpful out there......until I found you tonight. I'm feeling less panicked and actually more excited about weaving, thanks to you. You are a natural teacher, and you truly covered all the questions I had about dressing a floor loom. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will save this video and watch it many more times. You are an awesome daughter, and I am sure your Dad loved your careful instructions.
@@JenniferMurray-ev8tr oh my gosh, you are so sweet! Congratulations on your new loom 👏. I'm glad you found my video helpful. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Do you do anything for rigid heddle.
@@wadehaarsma7549 I haven't yet. Do you have a particular question I can answer?
Very concise video, however the background chatter/TV was really annoying and detracted from the instruction. Closed captions helped
I'm glad the captioning helped. I'm trying to find a way to eliminate the background. It was my first video and I didn't even realize my public studio was playing music in the background. Have you tried watching it on other devices? Some people hear it louder than others, which makes me wonder if it's the player. When I watch it on my phone I don't even hear the background.
I am trying to understand how you miss the raddle step.
@@redcanoo57 When you wrap from front to back you are simply going straight to the reed. There is no need for a raddle. The raddle is used to evenly spread your warp threads to the desired width if you go through heddles first, back to front.
I have been struggling for several days trying to find instructions for front to back threading - actually the entire dressing the loom process. Thank goodness I found your series! I haven't done any weaving for many years and I never was confident with dressing the loom. Now I'm back and with your videos I feel I shall succeed and enjoy weaving! Many thanks!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found them helpful.
This is really clear, thank you
Comment ajouter des lisse au cadre j'ai le même métier. Je sais pas comment c'est nouveau pour moi Merci de me répondre
Je suis désolé de ne pas parler français. Pouvez-vous m'envoyer une photo pour que je puisse mieux comprendre votre question ?
Weird question but I just got a Dorothy for a steal that is missing the beater bars/reed, I have the steel bars but not those bits. My steel bars don't fall all the way to the warp beam, does yours? The screws for the latch bars (to fold it flat) are in the way. I was thinking about screwing them to the outside 🧐
Can you send me some pics? I want to be sure I understand your questions correctly. You can email me at sandraclarkfineart@gmail.com
@@sandraclarkfineart6903 so like on my normal loom (I have a bigger one with a swinging beater but it was custom-made for someone before me, it's not a market loom) my beater goes all the way down to the **breast beam**, on this one does it stop short of the breast beam because of the latch bars that you unhook to fold the Dorothy flat?? Sorry I referenced the wrong beam originally!
@@buffpanda527I'm so sorry for my delay, I didn't get a notification when you replied. Let me look at my loom tomorrow and I'll get back to you.
I impulse purchased a Dryad 4 shaft table loom today, and found myself watching both your tutorials! I’ll be finding some wood and making a warping board as soon as possible 😊 Thanks for the brilliant tutorials, I really enjoy the calm and patient manner in which you explain things PS the loom isn’t my first impulse purchase, I already have two spinning wheels and a drum carder 😂 ban me from Facebook marketplace(!)
I'm so excited for you! Have a wonderful time. If you have any questions, just ask.
@@sandraclarkfineart6903 thankyou very much, that’s very kind of you! I’m sure I’ll run into questions along the way as I’ve only really woven on basic handheld frame looms 😊
@@LGdop any time😊
💖💖💖💖
The roadblock seems to be removed! Darn good instruction, which I played at 3/4 speed - I seem to listen or hear slowly. Thanks for your good work, AND for using the loom that is in front of me!
Oh, I am so happy it helped you! May you weave wonderful things. And feel free to reach out if you have a question.
This is a great and easy to follow/understand video which is PERFECT for the beginning weaver! So many times, the instructor assumes the viewer has some knowledge and so does not go through important steps or the steps are hard to follow. You have done an AWESOME job in this step by step video. There are not many videos of front to back warping of a table loom. Thank you so much!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful😊
10/10 good stuff, thank you
Thanks so much!
This is a great video thank you so much for sharing it! Is that a Dorothy loom?
It is😁
Oh my. A friend gave me a loom he built with this design. I've never done any weaving, but had watched videos of warping ridgid heddle looms. This looks way more difficult! I'm very intimidated by all that goes into warping this. Really appreciate your time putting this together. I didn't even know what to search for with this type of loom.
What a blessing to have a hand crafted loom ❤️. Threading can be intimidating at first, but just take baby steps and you'll find it is not difficult. Start with a narrow warp. My first was only 2 inches wide, just 24 threads. Feel free to reach out if you have questions😊
@@sandraclarkfineart6903 sound advice! Everyone emphasizes the need to keep crossover intact, but I have not been able to see what the purpose of the crossover is, why it is needed. Maybe it will be apparent when I try to warp.
BIG thank you Sandraclark! This video has opened my eyes to finally understand this my 4harness loom. I was totally overwhelmed and stuck. I’m going to warp my loom this weekend using this video as my guide! Thank you so much:-)
Oh, I'm so happy it helped! Good luck with your weaving😊
Have you had any problem with residue from the Tar Paper getting on your warp? My current warp is 36 inches of homespun wool at 10 epi and I used rolled postal paper which is the same texture and color of grocery bags.
I haven't had problems, but I don't use it if I'm not weaving all the warp right away. I am really liking firm buckram fabric. It's used in baseball caps. I find i get the best results with anything that is firm enough hold flat between layers and doesn't take too much room.
Wow that is a nice tutorial Thanks a lot Sandra
Thank you!!
This makes so much more sense to me because it appears to keep the fibers clearly delineated from reed to heddle to back beam. Thank you!
❤ I am so happy to have stumbled upon this video. You’ve explained better than any weaving to that I’ve watched, even better than some of the famous ones in my paid online courses! I like how you sideways patted your warp threads in front of reed to check for tension issues. I also like the way you use larks head knots when you tie your warp onto the back beam. In addition, I’ve been longing for someone to address the ways your weaving shows you that you advanced your warp threads too far and the fell-line became too close to the front beam. Thank you over and over! I’d like to hear more tips like those. Please keep producing videos.😊 There’s just thing I think could have been improved upon is that I found the music in the background too distracting. I have a hearing disability. I even wear hearing aids. Even with them, I could not hear well. I found your warping board video much easier to follow. God bless
Thank you so much for your kind words! Totally get it on the music thing. I am hoping to find a way to edit that out without having to redo the entire video. I didn't even register that there was music playing in the background in the area I was filming. Live and learn😊
Since I am an architect by trade, the building paper seems to be a product that might leave a residue on the warp. I am sure your process doesn't do that, but I want to caution everyone - be careful about the choice of paper, because experience tells me that the asphalt might bleed onto the warp threads under certain conditions. Love the video, because you have shown the reasons some of the mistakes I am learning to work thru happen. Now I am off to warp through the front instead of the back. It looks like it is much easier!
Thanks for your comment. I agree on the tar paper. I only use that for very short projects that won't remain on the loom long for the very reason you site. On a floor loom I learned using corrugated cardboard. However that takes so much space that could be used for warp. On a table loom there just isn't that much real estate for your wound up warp. Now my go-to is a firm buckram fabric. But it is difficult to find. If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears. I'm always looking for ways to improve processes!
Thank you so much for an expertly produced guide for beginners. I am a total weaving newbie so this was very useful, with just enough detail to not make me feel overwhelmed.
I'm so glad you found it helpful. I hope you enjoy your weaving!
Excelent demo
Thank you
THANK YOU for explaining how many rotations counts as a warp thread. This confuses me so much!
I'm so glad I could help clear that up. Happy weaving!!
well done!!! waiting for more videos!! thank you!!!!!!
Dont you have to take one thread from each side of the cross alternately? You said nothing about that. Just typical of a woman tying the reed frame with a piece of wool. There should be a fixture on the loom for this.
If you turn the cross so that it is stacked and always take the top thread, you are alternating the legs of the cross. No,I didn't make a point of clarifying that would happen, but if it is done in this manner it is evident that that is what is happening. Interlace your fingers and rotate your hands 90 degrees away from you- there's your stacked cross. If you move off one finger at a time starting at the top, you are alternating hands. You don't alternate removing from top then bottom. Some looms do have fixtures to hold the reed upright while it's being threaded, but many don't. You certainly could build one, but in typical woman fashion I choose the most efficient solution for my situation to get the exact result I want. Thank you for the compliment 😊
You are so amazing for this tutorial! Thank you!!! I followed along with each step as I set up my X Frame Gilmore Loom 48" weaving width, so , so, so HELPFUL!!!! Thank you!!
Thank you! I am thrilled to know it helped you, 😊
Nice 👍
Thanks so much
Taking my first class tomorrow on warping in this fashion. Seeing your tutorial helped me prepare for that class. Well done, thank you.
Have a wonderful class!
I cannot thank you enough for this clear and thorough video! I've been looking at so many videos to get me off the ground with my Dorothy Leclerc table loom, but none of them has given me the confidence to take the plunge and begin with it, until now! Your video is amazing, and you a fabulous teacher! I now have my loom completely warped and am at the point of weaving my first piece. All thanks to you! You are a truly gifted teacher, who knows just how to break down all the steps!
I am so excited for you! I hope you will enjoy weaving as much as I do. I'd love to see your finished project!
thank you very much this tutorial is very informative thank you again 😍
Excellent, thank you!
Would love to see the loom your dad made you!
THANK YOU!! Very nicely explained. I've had a second hand 15" Dorothy for 2 years and got bogged down, never warping it. You have ENCOURAGED me greatly! 😆 Other videos that people have done, were not nearly so clear for a very first timer.
You just made my day! Thank you😊
Wonderful Video. Thank you very much.
Thank you😊
Love your lark’s head knot onto the back beam. Clever, thanks for the video
Thank you for making a video with such detailed instructions. Many years ago I wove on a Jack floor loom but I wound the warp onto it using a sectional warping beam. I have since downgraded to a table loom with a warping board and it has scared the bejabbers out of me as to how to wind the warp and then attach it to the loom. I think you have just given me the confidence to try it! Thank you so much!
I am so glad! Good luck to you😊
These instructions were fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you.
Hi, I got my first 4 shaft loom and this is a fantastic tutorial. I am just wondering if there is a particular order that you take the warp off the cross on your hand? Do you alternate between the left side and right? I can't work it out from watching. I haven't done any weaving at this point. But after watching this I feel confident that I could get the loom set up. Once I work out the maths
Congratulations on your new loom!! Yes, it is particular. If you orient the cross so that it is vertical (so the crosses are stacked), you will take the top yarn every time. Feel free to reach out if you need more clarification. 😊
Thanks for your reply, I am procrastinating on warping the loom. I think I have gone too large for my first project 😂
