    Cat getting wedged under your loom was amazing. I just ordered a loom and I think I just got a glimpse into my future.

    This was the most descriptive and easy to understand tutorial on weaving that I have seen, thank you so much for creating this video. It really helped me understand how to weave, plus I really loved your kitten companion. Your tone of voice is very kind and articulate, I really liked listening to your explanation:)

    Loved the weaving beautiful warp, and its good to see that I'm not the only one that has a cheeky cat who tries to help with the weaving. Cheers!

    I love the way you wound onto the back beam, holding the warp over the heddle to keep it taut. Thank you!

    This video is how I learned to weave houndstooth and it was my first attempt at weaving. The way you explained it really helped me and it turned into a beautiful black and green scarf that I am very proud of! Next project will be waffle weave at a much larger scale

    I've just got my first ever loom, RH from Tabby and Tweed.... Was half expecting a free cat with it, but guess I'll just have to borrow one from a neighbour! Thanks for the video, very clear and concise. The wool kit/pattern that came with my loom is just colour blocks ... But tempted to start with a hounds tooth now .... 😂❤❤❤

    Absolutely Brilliant! My wife got me a loom last Christmas and until this video I had no idea how to manage 2 shuttles. I have read about it, but I am a visual learner! Thank you SO much! When I get up the nerve to attempt it I will tag you with a photo!

    Just did my second houndstooth and your video was so helpful. I tied in each thread, and although it was a lot of work, I had perfect tension all the way to the end. Your description of how to handle the edges was awesome. Thank you.

    Thank you for the free instruction. I recently started weaving using a cricket 15" heddle loom. I spoke to my son about how he should expect something woven for Christmas and he asked for a houndstooth. I am beyond excited to give it a go and have become so addicted to weaving! thank you for the inspiration!

  • @jacquelineshewring503

    Thank you grace for the tip of holding the warp taught over the back of the RH loom. Now here’s a tip for you. When warming up put the warping peg on the left hand side of your window ledge then cut and tie off move said peg to the other side of your window sill and warp the other half. All ends should end up the same length. Give it a go and see what you think 🤔 happy weaving.

    I enjoyed your video and have gone out a purchased my yarn to make a piece of Houndstooth fabric. I intend to use it for the front pieces of a vest for my husband and use the same dark color to weave a piece for the back of the vest. My yarn choice is Paton Classic Wool DK superwash. I'm a new weaver so here's to hoping this works out well. Thanks for the great video.

    One thing you forgot to mention. Make sure both the loom and the peg are attached to something that WON'T MOVE! The first time I tried warping my RH loom I found out it was slowly creeping across the floor in the process. When I was done one side was longer than the other.😬💕

      My project came out really good! I screwed it up by adding a second set only once then when I finished it, I simply removed the extra set of weft and washed it again. I cannot even tell where the mistake was now. I'm making bread bags out of this fabric. It's just the right weight to keep homemade bread fresh and crunchy for about 5 days. No more mold from plastic bags, no more overnight hard bread! It's perfect! :) And YOU HELPED soooo much!
