I have watched this video several times and each time I see something else that is valuable and helpful! Your finished product is nothing short of PERFECT! Hope you are doing well, have a good one!
Thanks Kari , I have just finished by houndstooth V Cowl , you have given me so much advice and I have learnt loads, I am just waiting for my fringe twister to arrive, before I wet finish. I am really pleased with the result.
Beautiful project, I am excited to try this. I am curious how long you find a good length to weave the cloth before crossing it over? Also do you have a recomended tutorial for catching the opposite weft thread as you go through in case you don't want those longer loops on the edge?
I should have watched this in its entirety before starting one. I've made many v-cowels but this was my first houndstooth v-cowl. I forgot to start weft with other color that left warp thread and I have double wide white. So mad at myself. ☹ But I love your instructional videos, thank so much Kari!
Thank you for your kind words. There is so much that can go wrong with this project, so I know what you mean. My first ones definitely did not go well for me. I have found that I really need to keep good notes, because I will not remember those important details!
@@KariFellWeaves I actually add to my notes from comment answers here in this thread and in others. When you explain something in detail I add it. You have totally helped me achieve perfect V-cowls, a couple months into making them. I appreciate that so much, and will always give you credit and tell people about you.
No, the threads go over and under the back apron bar just like any direct warping. The only difference is you skip a slot in the heddle as you go along. If you try to go over every time, the yarn would never catch the bar.
I can usually do the entire project (warping and weaving) in a day or two if I have nothing else on my plate. But in reality, I work on it over 3-4 days.
I hope to receive my loom today or tomorrow and have been watching lots of videos. As a raw beginner i appreciate your advice.
You are truly excellent at explaining. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. I appreciate that!
Beautiful great colors ,
Thanks so much 😊
It’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Just starting my weaving journey. Your video was awesome to watch.

@@susanmartin9424 Thank you so much
How long is your wrap? Thank you for your famous instructions.
You are welcome! I weave about 60 inches before weaving it back into itself.
I must have missed something. What yarn are you using and what weight?
It's merino/nylon sock yarn, fingering weight, hand dyed by Celtic Raven Fibres.
Is there any way I can order one just like this? So beautiful!
This cowl is available in my store: karifellartist.square.site/product/houndstooth-v-cowl/127?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=true&q=false&category_id=9
I love this and cannot wait to get my current scarf off my look to make a V cowl! How long do you make your warp please?
If I direct warp, it is 8 feet long (the length of my work table). If I use a warping board, I make it 9 feet.
Warping this way means all threads of the first color go over the apron bar; all of the threads of the second color go under the apron bar....correct?
No, the threads go over and under the back apron bar just like any direct warping. The only difference is you skip a slot in the heddle as you go along. If you try to go over every time, the yarn would never catch the bar.
@@KariFellWeaves ok! yes, i was forgetting the holes! thank you!
Can I ask: How long does it usually take to weave a cowl like this?
I can usually do the entire project (warping and weaving) in a day or two if I have nothing else on my plate. But in reality, I work on it over 3-4 days.
brilliant....what size heddle are you using, please?
Thank you! It's a 10 dent heddle.
@@KariFellWeaves Thank you, Kari
Heddle is down while warping, correct? ie., not in neutral?
Heddle is in neutral while warping. That way all threads are traveling straight and have the same tension.
@@KariFellWeaves oh! ok tx...and tx for telling the reason!
