Welcome, weavers! I'm glad you're here. I'm passionate about weaving and am very blessed by the opportunities I have to share what I love with other weavers by teaching workshops for guilds and conferences. I'm a frequent contributor to Handwoven magazine and worked as a technical editor from 2012-2017 as well as weaving editor from 2015-2017. Since 2017 I've been designing patterns for and hosting virtual weaving workshops (Weave Along with Sarah Jackson) on Facebook. I hope you'll join me! My patterns are available for purchase on Etsy; no charge to join the Weave Alongs. (See links below.)
Weaving False or Mock Satin Damask Pick-up on Four Shafts
This weave structure makes it possible to weave an image on four shafts and creates a reversible fabric. The method requires patience and close attention to detail; slow going but a lot of fun to watch the images emerge.

Warping with 2 Ends at a Time
มุมมอง 9K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Warping with 2 ends at a time achieves two good things: It cuts the time it takes to wind the warp by half, and it helps maintain even tension throughout the warp. PLEASE NOTE: THIS VIDEO WAS MADE FOR THE COLOR COLLECTION TOWELS WEAVE ALONG on Facebook so what is shown is the warp color order for that pattern, but the process is the same for any warp. If you're on Facebook I hope you'll join on...
Lashing On: Attaching the warp to the cloth beam apron rod.
มุมมอง 31K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Lashing-on as a method for attaching the warp to the front apron rod uses less warp than other methods and, when done correctly, helps maintain even tension across the width of the warp. THIS VIDEO WAS MADE FOR THE SHADOW BOX TOWELS WEAVE-ALONG, but the principle is the same for every warp. My weaving patterns are available on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/SarahHJackson If you're on Facebook I would ...
Thank you for sharing this technique. It reminds me of doing pickup threads on an Inkle loom.
brilliant! thank you
Thanks for the excellent explanation.
Thats great technique
After lashing on, what method have you found to be the best (using the least amount of warp length) for evening out the triangles between groups of threads?
MUCH better way to tie up than trying to tie onto the rod. Way better. Thanks.
No tie up so don't understand what shafts are being lifted on each of the four picks 😢
Your shawl is stunning. I love the simplicity.
Since I was too lazy to try to figure out the tie-up, I purchased the pattern and measured off an eight-inch wide warp of 200 threads for practice. There was a bit of a learning curve over the first few inches of my piece, but now I'm in the swing of it and the design (my own) is starting to emerge. Since I'm weaving it on a table loom, I added an additional step which is very helpful in eliminating unwanted floats: reinserting the pickup stick in the shed before passing the shuttle through.
Thank you! Very helpful video. I had no problems with lashing on, following your instructions. ;-)
I did purchase this pattern. Can this be warped front to back?
You can use your preferred method for warping. Thank you for buying my pattern!
@@sarahjacksonhandwovendesig1162 warp is on threading heddles now. Very excited about this. Thank you for the well explained video!
You're very welcome!
Many thanks for the video. I was just warping a project and realized I didn't account for enough yarn waste. This will save me a few inches, which will be perfect!
I'm giving this a try today! Thanks so much for this techniq.
I keep twisting one thread around the other. When you change hands, do you switch the position of each thread? The one in the inside comes to the outside position
Hi Camilo, Don't worry about keeping the threads in perfect order while you're winding. If you hold the threads and use your hands as demonstrated, the order will straighten out when you have it on the loom. Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Hammer the end of the wire with a ball peen hammer on a steel block then file the now rounded edge with a metal file. That will finish it with a smooth edge that won’t cut you…. No need for tape to get stuck
Good idea, Gene. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the great video. I do have a question. What happens when your colour pattern calls for an odd number? I am working with 4 colours. The pattern calls for 2 colours 21 times at the start, 19 times at the end and 5 and 3 times in the middle. Would I cut and tie the colours at the top (half a complete loop)? Or I guess i could tie it off (like you did at the bottom) on an unused peg at the top? Would that work? and when I need the colour again I'd have to start at the top and count down the board? I'm over thinking it all and getting confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks 🙂
I think you'll be less confused if you cut and tie at the top. Hope that helps!
@@sarahjacksonhandwovendesig1162 thank you for the reply.
Wow you go so fast. Love the results
Well done explanation. Thank you.
Thank you! As a brand new weaver I have found this technique super useful abs a lot easier than tying the bundles on individually.
Where do you find piano wire?
I'm not sure this information is current, but it was at the time I published the Two by Two Towel pattern: Piano wire; 5 Ft, Size #13; available on eBay (free shipping): Ebay size 13 piano wire Or here (shipping is additional, depending on zip code): Howard Piano Or from a local music store.
@@sarahjacksonhandwovendesig1162 thanks I found it on eBay-
I needed a refresher and your video was excellent. Thank you, Sarah
Absolutely stunning work! Brava!!
I struggle with this method as it seems to pull my warp together. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
Maybe your thread groups are too big? I make mine no bigger than about 3/4". You can also try tying the selvedge threads in smaller groups; 1/2" or so. And make sure you angle the weft in so it's not tight enough to pull the warp together.
Thank you for the wonderful explanation of this method. Off to give it a try!
But where is the new yarn/warp chains that you will be adding? I'm confused.
she already has the back beam wound with the warp she's using. Essentially she's just extending the useable area of the warp on the front beam so that there is less weaving waste. At the end of the video she's ready to start throwing weft picks to spread her warp.
I warp back to front so what you see in the video is the warp after it's been beamed on the warp beam.
Thank you. Very clear and visual explanation ♥️ happy weaving
Thank you so much for this video, I've been afraid to try it because I didn't understand how to adjust the tension. I'll give it a try now, just have to get some Texsolve or something like that.
Texsolve will work, but I just use doubled carpet warp. It's inexpensive and strong enough (when doubled) to withstand a lot of tension.
Such a shame you dont cover the tie up. As 1-4 is fine. But the treddle tie up is key
I wish I knew what this means..... Is it a negative comment?
As she talks about 14 and 23, i would guess it is 12, 23, 34 and 14.
The basis of damask is alternating blocks of 1,3,2,4 raising shed satin stitch (direct tie up)and the same pattern upside down, 1'3'2'4 sinking shed satin stitch.
Duelling rabbits hand weaving has a good video of the structure of damask fabric done on a drawloom, so you can see what this creator's trying to accomplish with four shafts and pickup sticks.
I did work it out, but, it would have completed this video to include it
Thank you for this, been 30 years since I have woven, and I could not remember how to lash on. I just acquired a 2 harness run loom for $8! Just finished restoring it-it's a Union #36 that was well taken care of, I just had to clean out some dust bunnies and give it a nice wax on the wood!
Excellent tutorial!
Pardon my question, as I am in the learning process... are you doing tabby, or is there a different sequence for the peddles?
No tie up so no idea 😢
Well done. Thanks for the help!
Noted on your floating selvage that you tied it up with no tension and lots and lots of slack. Confused. Im just learning the weaving process. I have done some simple weaving but nothing on a large loom yet.
I tie my floating selvedges to the apron rod and then tension them separately from the rest of the warp by using weights and letting them drop behind the warp beam.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. So helpful!
Very nice alternative to draw loom weaving. Thank you for this wonderful technique.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Ben Prince instablaster :)
@Aaron Maximus thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Aaron Maximus it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Ben Prince Glad I could help :)
Thanks for sharing 😍😍
Very easy to understand thx
Very beautiful
I can see this being great for alternating warp colours!
Such a clear, understandable video. Thank you. 5 Stars!
thank you. weaving is therapy.
Thank you for your video, a clear explanation. My question is what happens now, once you have beamed the warp, and are threading the heddle, you you will have two threads together instead of one together in the cross. Does it matter which of the two threads you thread first? Thank you.
Thank you for watching! It doesn't matter which of the two threads is threaded first, and the same is true for more than two ends. I've warped as many as 8 ends at a time, all different colors, and threaded them in random order.
I have struggled with lashing on, and now I can see why. I wasn't keeping tension on the lashing cord. I also love the tip on how to measure for the length of the lashing cord. This is an excellent video and gives me the confidence to give it another go. Thanks!

Did you warp from fb or bf or does it matter?
I warp from back to front, but it doesn't matter. Warping front to back, you can also use this technique to lash on to the warp beam apron rod.
@@sarahjacksonhandwovendesig1162 Thanks for the info. Video very helpful.
I warp back to front.
This was a GREAT video and very helpful to me as a new weaver! I am going to look for another one on how to attach the warp to the BACK beam as I have trouble with that.
