Since 2005, SweetGeorgia Yarns has been making exquisite hand-dyed knitting yarns and spinning fibres in passionate, relentless, and unapologetic colours to inspire, educate, and engage our world-wide community of knitters, spinners, weavers, and makers.
I love what you said about not having the project being premeditated. That’s my way of weaving, I don’t think I have ever made a project as is with the pattern 😂. Can’t do it! Your wonderful explanation and teaching style would definitely be a temptation to move to Canada! I’m ready to do Krokbragd and just loved your video, thanks again dear!!
I'M SO pleased to see you've added Krokbragd weaving. I'm anxious to try it on my heddle loom soonest. Just when I think you've got everything I ever wanted to learn, you come up with more. My head is spinning with fiber fun.
Awww yay!! I’m so glad to hear this!! Krokbragd has been so much fun to learn, I’m excited to share this!
I’ve never even heard of this type of weaving ~ but then when I showed my grandma ( we are Native American Indian) she said that it’s very similar on how the Indian horse blanket’s are made ~ very 😎❤!
I was thinking 'oh these look like theyd make good horse blankets'
I dont even horseride or anything..
Krokbragd was the very first inspiration for me to want to weave!
Yay Charlotte!! You can do it! I’d love to see what you create with this technique!
Excellent video! You inspired me to try it on my heddle loom. You're project is just beautiful!
Custom art framer here! I would sew it into a mat board. Use strong fishing line to go between the stitches and be “invisible”. Then use a traditional cut mat with foam core board between the mounting mat and the traditional mat to hold the glass off the textile and create additional dimension in the frame!
@@kasandramckenna3250 oh gosh that sounds wonderful idea. Is this something I could do myself, do you think?
I can’t wait to warp my loom! Never thought I’d look forward to warping.
Hi, I am very glad to find your channel! Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful work! This technique is so similar to tapestry that mounting your piece like a tapestry should work great. Rebecca Mezoff is the go-to person for this, she's amazing. I'd suggest getting a Damascus edge on that big one quick before it loses integrity! Thank you for Take Back Fridays!
Thank you so much Eric! Yes, I think I originally started off with this linen warp and I was trying to do “meet & separate” tapestry-style to make a runner, but I didn’t like what I was getting, so I pulled it all out and wove the coasters instead. I follow Rebecca Mezoff as well! She’s awesome and super inspiring. And yes, I totally need to sit down and do some finishing. Thanks for watching!
So fun! Definitely caught my attention when you mentioned it can be done on a RHL. Maybe when our nasty heatwave settles, I’ll look into it more. Thanks for the inspiration.
For sure!! Rigid heddle looms are incredibly versatile. If I can weave krokbragd on a frame loom with string heddles and a regular fork for a beater… then a rigid heddle is a great step up from there! Hahaha :)
Thank you! Your drawing really helped me understand better how it works.
Beautiful result! I have been watching Angie for awhile now but I haven’t yet made the leap. Her work is stunning. I have thought of trying this technique in cotton instead of wool, not sure if I would use a mop cotton or something thinner. Thank you for posting. I have Debbie’s first book but was unaware that she did a pattern book too.
Thank you so much!! YES I’ve been in love with Angie Parker’s work and also Petra Marciniak (@petramarcin on instagram). Both weavers have distinct and gorgeous colour sense. I’m sure you could use cotton for weft… it would just need to be sett in a way to allow those three weft picks to nest together. Even Angie’s work has metallic yarn and different kinds of yarns mixed into the same cloth. So lovely. And yes, Debbie’s second book was just released a couple months ago :)
Bonjour ,quand vous changez de couleur , que faites vous des fils de lisière ? Je fais aussi ce genre de tissage sur un simple cadre ,ça demande énormément de temps mais c’est beau . votre tapis est magnifique . Merci pour votre video 🍀
Hi :) Random aside. I am new to weaving and wondering what is the software/equipment you used to demonstrate on the tablet? Clearly a tablet of some kind w/a stylus but I would like to be able to do that too in order to visualize. Thank you in advance :)
Thanks Angela! That’s my iPad and the Apple Pencil. I created my own weaving draft template using InDesign and then imported it to GoodNotes. You don’t need to do all that 😜 you can simply use pen and paper, but this was a fun way to help demo the concepts.
Hi i weave Navajo rugs your weaving is interesting
Thank you so much for this lovely video. I've been weaving for 40 years and love Krokbragd.
Hello! I enjoyed this video. Is the pattern for the rug available for purchase? Thank you!
magnificent! if you start and finish weaving with a thinner yarn, say 10 or 20 rows then when you are ready you can fold them to the back and fasten them. then you get a very nice edge.
YES, I should have done that!! That’s a great idea… I’ll do that next time! Thanks!
Thanks for this inspiring video. It was great to see how enthusiastic you are about your finished piece - and rightly so!
What sett did you use for it?
Thanks
Did you learn to make good edges through a book? If so, what book? That piece is simply beautiful!
Wow, what a great technic. I think, this is the technic, I has looking for to make my imagination come to life. Thanks so much for sharing and teaching, how this style of weaving did works. I am excited ❤️
Fantastic, everything clearly explained. Thank you!
What is that app you are using on the tablet? I have not seen it before. Sorry if its been asked before I just discovered you. :)
Never tried Krokbragd, but have done a couple of rugs using the similar Scandinavian technique called Flesberg (I think). The possibilities for the combinations of patterns and colours are infinite and like you, it took me a lot of experimentation to figure out how to get what I wanted. I ended up completely ignoring my messy selvedges, a temple greatly helped and floating selvedges would have been good too. Top tip for anyone on a 4 shaft counterbalance loom - don't try and spread the threading over 4 shafts, just use the empty shaft to balance the tie up.
Oh that’s a good tip, thanks Ella!! I’ve been meaning to try krokbragd on the Mira counterbalance loom!
So beautiful to see! Thanks a lot! Be blessed!
Great video! What is the software you are using int he video?
Bonjour ,lorsque vous changez de couleur aux lisières , que faites vous des fils ? Merci pour votre video .votre tapis est aussi beau recto-verso
Yes you can reverse it in the sense of swap back and front in stripes by the same way you would double weave where the bottom has to be worked upside down. So instead of lifting 2 and 3 to make that 1 have weft over it. You would lift 3 so its the other way round
Awesome, yes! I get it! Making the weft float over two ends and under one… it’s lovely. SO many options!! Thanks for watching Liz!
This is so fascinating. It looks similar to the overshot technique with frame loom weaving.
Awesome job explaining it . I am so excited 😆
Que hermoso trabajo saludos desde Ensenada México me gustaría ver una combinación pastel estilo nuevo México.
Hi, i love this pattern. I'm a new weaver, weaving on a 4 shaft LeClerec and I can't figure out what the treadling graph here. I understand the 1-2-3-2-1 threading pattern, but I can't seem to understand what shafts go up when. If you could help me that would be amazing, i've already spent hours and hours trying different things but none are right. Thanks in advance!
I LOVED your Krokbragd video, especially your description of your thought processes, and how you started experimenting with more basic looms before you started with the floor loom, and also the way you separated your warp into 3 sections so you could try different color patterns. I liked your BACK side better than the front, also! Ha ha! You never know with weaving, so you? I took a Krokbradg class with Tom Knisely, but came home and put that (Wolf Pup) loom to the side, and now I am wanting to go back to it, and I had forgotten how to weave it. You inspired me!
Fabulous! Can you tell what sett you used with this warp and weft? Thanks! Happy weaving!
I love the explanation of how it works on the ipad. Can I ask what software you were using please?
Thanks! I used GoodNotes on iPad to explain krokbragd, and using a PDF I made of a weaving draft template.
Yuor teknik best
What Kind of App is it that you are using ? Good explained thanks
Thanks! That’s the Good Notes app for iPad.
love your speaking technique, i feel like we are sitting together coffee, fresh bread as we share eureka moments. wish we could. i like you. wish you were my real life friend. Agape Love You
what ap did you use on your ipad to experiment with the drawdown in your explanation for the weave structure?
Pretty sure it's good notes. Super worth the price! I've personally used it for note taking in classes - you can take a picture in it and draw on it, even when you making notes on a pdf!
Hola soy de Argentina me gusto mucho el trabajo que enseño. Como puedo abtener,o conseguir el libro que mostro en este video?.Como puedo comprarlo.gracias
I'm excited about Krokbragd and am so glad to find your video. It's terrific. One thing that I'm dying to know is what app you are working in on your tablet with the grid lines . I've been trying to find a good designing app for weaving projects.
For a weaving app, I’ve been using iWeaveIt on iOS. But for this video I’m actually drawing on a PDF template that I made in InDesign and then drawing on it in GoodNotes ☺️ thanks for watching!!

Please how do I get this book
The mini rug is awesome!! I like both sides! If you don’t mind, what program do you use on your iPad to draw the draft?
That’s actually the GoodNotes app on the iPad. I made a weaving draft template in Adobe InDesign and exported it to PDF and then opened the PDF in GoodNotes. It’s not an actual weaving app ☺️
@@sweetgeorgia LOL!!! Ok, looks good. I’m practicing on actual graft paper. I want to make sure I understand the structure of things before moving to the computer but when I do know I know what to use. Thank you!!
Could this technique be done on a counter balance loom?
I have seen someone doing this on a counterbalance loom using triangle shaped ‘horses’.
Best sempal
i would call this maybe, over sized placemat, center piece table runner, those little ones looked like they were bottle sleeves
Capisco poco. Sarebbe bello se ci fosse una traduzione in italiano in sovraimpressione. 🙏❤️
beautiful! had never thought of doing this but have so enjoyed watching your telling of your process, thats opened up so many possibilities. must try it. thankyou so much for sharing.
I too have fallen in love with Krokbragd thanks to Angie and Debby. I finished a larger rug in the spring, based on a gorgeous pattern I found from Handwoven, online. (I posted a pic in the Krokbragd forum). Thank you for bringing Debby in for us. She answered every question I had left over from my novice venture into Krokbragd!
And YOUR explanation and graphic really help with going forward to design my own future work. Thanks Felicia!
Is it possible to weave Krokbragd on a counter balance loom?
Thank you for the explanation, I've been planning to try the technik for long time. You encourage me to do this. Thx 🙂
Always wanted to do this, but can't figure it out for counter balance ...the misery of being a green bean.
What is the program that you are using on iPad? This weave structure
is something I have explored but never made a project. Excited to do the course in the school.
For the top down demos where I draw weave structures, I use GoodNotes for the iPad. For creating actual weaving draft WIF files, I use iWeaveIt on the iPad and Fibreworks PCW for Mac. 👍
Amazing!...Thank you love!.. ❤️
Hii
Hablas tanto!!! No hay subtítulos en español
love the flip mode, reversible patterning, weave in dowels atop bottom and use dowls as the first and last warp
I have been thinking of doing Krokbragd. Thanks for posting this. It does help me make up my mind to just do it.
This was a wonderful description of krokbragd. I just started learning this style. Very fun so far.
Thanks for the awesome explanation of how Krokbragd works, it makes so much better sense to me now.
I love this! I am definitely checking out Debbie's class.
This is What I want to do and have several books for that purpose
Can you use a rigid heddle loom ty very lovely
This is one of my favorite weaving techniques and would love to learn it!
Very educational. Thank you
Thanks for such a clear and useful explanation! 🙂
Ooo….another cool weave project to add to my growing list
I like the back side!
Yes!
I'm just so amazed . I pulled my loom out after 40 years being stored. Going to give this a try.
Good luck with the weaving! Enjoy!
I'm so new to this work, but holy cow this is beautiful! New subscriber, that's for sharing 😊
Aww thank you so much!
it’s giving rainbow room
This was so helpful ❤
I have been wanting to try this technique for a while. When I get my new Mira II loom -- it'll be one of the first projects I warp!
Awww yay! Congrats on your new loom!! Have a wonderful time with it. 💗
@@sweetgeorgia Your videos on the Mira II helped me to make my decision. I had a Spring II, but we never really meshed over the last 2 years. So I found a buyer for her and I'm getting the Mira II. Looking forward to the simplicity of a CB loom. :)
Your piece is so beautiful, I love the colors
Krokbragd weaving seems a lot like fair isle knitting to me. I'm immediately drawn to it!
Yes! I’ve seen weavers translate fair isle patterns into krokbragd
im interested now🤩
Amazing ! Good job
I love krokbragd. Have done one piece, a table runner, on my Baby Wolf. It was so much fun making up patterns as I went!. I used a random generator to create all possible combinations of three colors. And then I just went crazy. Used 8/4 carpet warp and Borg Tuna wool for Weft. I am looking forward to doing many more pieces.
Fantastic! Love it. Those Baby Wolf looms are so versatile. I feel like you could easily spend a lifetime weaving just krokbragd and always find new patterns to weave :) enjoy!!
Love the look and your weaving program. Is that an app?
Thanks Carole! That’s a weaving draft template that I made up and created as a PDF file. I’m drawing on the PDF using the GoodNotes app for iPad :) it’s been a great way to keep weaving notes
I've been weaving a few years but was recently gifted an old Mira loom, hence why I found your channel. I am loving all of these videos! New fan/subscriber alert
Oh fantastic! Thanks Will! Enjoy your new-to-you Mira!! I do love that loom, it weaves beautifully. What kinds of things do you mostly weave?
@@sweetgeorgia I am a quilter first so I have been weaving fabric to quilt with--keeps me quite busy!! (side note, did more research, not acquiring a Mira, instead getting a Fanny, but your counterbalance videos have been helpful nonetheless)
@@_willgrimm_ That's amazing that you quilt with handwoven fabric!! I just acquired a 54-year old Fanny for home because I loved the Mira so much and wanted to weave at home (as well as at the studio). I'll definitely keep doing counterbalance videos... I love these looms and how they work so beautifully and quietly. My plan is to take the old loom apart in the summertime to refresh/revitalize it. The warp beam looks so dry and like it's beginning to crack. It just needs a little TLC, so I'll share when I do that :) thanks for watching!
Love the look of krobragd!
Yes!! me too. I was obsessed with it...
Wonderful project! Nice to see your journey and sharing it with us.
At 18:00 I notice some attachment on your front beam to hold your shuttles. Do you have a name/source for it? I need one to prevent my forever falling shuttles!
Thank you !
@@oosterhome that is a tray that can be added on to the Schacht Baby Wolf loom! I’m not sure if other loom manufacturers make something similar. What loom do you have?
@@sweetgeorgia Nilus counterbalance
@@oosterhome Leclerc Looms (manufacturers of the Nilus looms) makes benches with side pockets for this purpose 👍
