Treadle Tie Up

- Just a small project, trying out a pattern that I found on facebook from Billie-Weaver. Also a look at the part that I least like about setting up my loom.
The tune played part way thru is "Tae the Weavers Gin Ye Gang" sung by the McCalmans. I do not own the copyright to this music. I do not monitize my videos on YT and don't make nor want any $$ from playing the tune, it just goes nicely with this video.

Thank you so much for your videos. I really do enjoy them. This one is especially helpful as I always get myself into a knot when I have to tie treddles. I also have the spring loom. I have taken the beater, front and rear beams off so I just have the shell of the loom left and lifted that onto two plastic crates. I can now sit on a low stool to tie treddles and it works well. Thank you again for your most informative videos.
Thank you so much for showing the specifics of how to tie up on a countermarche. This was very clear
Great video once again, Love the pattern and it looks amazing on your window, really pleased to see you back.
The weaving is so interesting.the fabric looks beautiful on your window. Thank you again for sharing your work with us.
Thank you so much for your help. I'm enjoying all your weaving videos and finding them helpful. I thought your summer and winter was a weaving one - ha! - not quite!

Thank you. I never knew the difference in tie ups between jack and countermarche looms. This was very interesting. Beautiful pattern.
shooo weee, other than more complex weaving patterns I see why counter balance are so popular now! thanks for the detailed explanation
As someone who’s waiting for her spring to be delivered due end of December. The tieing up of all treddles had confused me. A lot. This helped a lot. I’d love to see the full pattern for this it looks pretty
Thank you so much for this video it is SOOOO helpful!!! I finally understand it now!!
Andy, thank you. Although I don't have this type of loom I now understand the tie up process and how to read the square on my patterns. I am hoping to get my loom working by the end of this month!!!
Why no Temple?
I would like to see some more weaving videos from you soon. I pray you are doing well and you and the mrs are in good health.
That's really pretty! You're very skillful! x
Thank you! I just got a new-to-me Louet Delta and I have been puzzled about the countermarche system until your video. Happy weaving!
Well explained and demonstrated. Very nice valance.
thank you for showing your floor loom tie-up it is a real pain to have to get under each time and I have to push my cords through holes spent 3 afternoons trying to get it right and balanced. Finally sat on my exersise ball and boy squatting on the ball saved the pain on my knees.Have to find a tie- up I really like and work around it instead of deciding Oh! think i will do some lace. But have to say your piece turned out lovely so worth all that struggle
Using a squatting ball - thanks for the tip!
thank you very much! my day is happy now. this is the best explanation i have found. Thank you 🙏again
I am trying to figure out how to do treadles adjustment because when I want to put the boat shuttle through the threads are all not up high enough for the shuttle to go through
I would like to tell you that you do a wonderful job in showing us some beautiful draft and how to's. One thing I do not understand though is why you have to have short and long string to tie up. Could you explain. thank you very much
Eureka!
At last the light bulb regarding tie-up has gone off!
After weaving on a table loom the transfer to using a floor loom with variable tie-ups just seemed like a muddle.
Now I understand!
Thank you so much for simplifying what has always been a conundrum to me.
+El El . . . Yes, tie up of a floor loom's multiple treadles to multiple shafts can be very mind muddling at times. I still have to give it deep thought almost each time I do it. Just cuz I don't want to mess it up. Glad that this, (and I am guessing also the lift plan video) were able to help you understand.
You helped me gain a good perspective how the weaving works with this video. I still don't totally understand it and would require hours of training, but it looks like an enjoyable way to spend your time.
+Pidasian Hippie Hey P-Hippie (some how I connect with the idea of being from the hippie generation, even if I never thought of self as being one) I think, that while you think it would take hours, that if you could spend even one hour with some one who can explain it simply, that suddenly the light would go on in your head and it would all make perfect sense in no time or less.
curmudgeon66 I will search out weavers in my area and see if I can learn more about weaving.
yet again another good video I have the same loom and no longer crawl under the loom to tie up I put the loom up onto two milk crates and sit on a low chair to tie up much more comfortable
Isn't the loom a bit heavy to be lifting on and off of the milk crates? I agree it would make treadle tie up easier, but I think the lifting would be very difficult.
no it is quite easy my husband helps me he holds one side I the other it only takes a few seconds but it certainly saves your back.
I just finished warping a new pattern onto my loom, fix little mistakes but the harness are not going down all the way to the lams or bumper. I changed heddles to texlov
and raised the beater up a bit. I am at work right now. I will lower the beater a bit but I do want the yarn to just touch the bottom of the beater. any other suggestions?
Good to see back and trying out a pattern again.
+Patrick Meehan Hey Patrick, thanks for watching, yeah I'm back after taking a month or two break from YT, I was burning out and needed the time off.
Good
I just got a Spring II and have found your explanations are the best on the web. I've done a couple plain weave things and now ready to move on to 4 shaft twills. Do I understand correctly that from column 7-C would be twill tie up? (I do get that these are the short tieups and that I'll need to add the corresponding long tieups) Thanks!
I'm setting up my new-to-me countermarche (a Cranbrook) now! This is very good to see; I have a couple stupid-questions ...
Do you always warp/beam before doing the tie ups? Or can that be done before putting the warp on?
Also, I take it that a treadle can be just left untied-up. Do all eight shafts always have to be tied up, even if only using four?
I suppose you could do tie up first, but to me it is just easier to do that after the warp is on the loom. You wont be able to "double check" that your tie up is correct until the loom is warped.
How does one tighten the tension on the treadles?
Andy, have you tried the "long cord" tie up yet? I've just got my old Glimakra put together and was thinking about trying it once I wind a warp for it. Looks like it would be easier than getting on the floor (I'm too old for that)
No, Annie, I have not. I don't even know what a "long cord" tie up is. I did a bit of a google search and the closest I can find is in this video: th-cam.com/video/eV-EH-OwJeY/w-d-xo.html but I don't think I can do that with my loom, because I don't have the same kind of lamms that the Glimaakra looms do. I'd be happy to try a different method if I could figure one out, because tying up the the shafts & treadles is the hardest part of set up for me.
@@curmudgeon66 here is a link that explains it pretty well kayfaulkner.wordpress.com/2018/01/05/december-2017-a-loom-and-a-convenient-treadle-tie-up-method-for-countermarche-looms/ but I'm not sure how to relate to the lamms on your loom. Glimakra has upper and lower lamms. love your videos!
شكرا thunk you
So you don't need to pinch the selvedge the shuttle is moving away from? And you aren't getting any cinch! Nice tall warp bubble! Giving that a try once my loom is warped
I love the weaving you doing!. Are you using Hemp? and the music is great thanks you.
Hey there, Curmudgeon66. Someone on TH-cam said they propped up their loom on milk cartons (you know the plastic ones that are as strong as bricks?) to do their tie-ups. I have a counter-march loom too and yes, it's a pain, but my loom is so big and heavy that I don't dare. It's worth the expense if you can find them these days.
I do not like it either. You are great as an instructor. I understand your videos and you are very helpful. I have never had a problem with the shafts rising evenly
before but the project I have on now Is just driving me nuts. Thanks for the video.;
technical question, I have a rather large old countermarche and my lamms crash into each other.. any idea? countermarche videos are few and far between!
No great ideas, sorry. My only thought is that a "rather large old countermarche" sounds like it might be more like the Glimaakra looms, so maybe if you could talk to a Glimaakra dealer or someone who uses that kind of loom you would get a better answer than I can give you.
There could be several reasons for the lambs to collide.
First, I would check alignment from the castle to the treadles, looking down to see that everything lines up like it should. A little bit of warp in the wrong piece could cause considerable trouble.
If everything does line up, check for even tension in the support cables.
If the above appears to be in good order, depending on how much use your loom has had, the pivot points on the lambs may be wallowed out and allowing the lambs to twist and flop on the support rod. If this is the case, and there is some space between the lambs, wood washers could be cut and drilled to fit the rod proper, and give guidance to the lambs. If there is no space, bronze bushings could be found at most hardware stores that would fit the rod, and take the wobble out of the lambs. That would require re-drilling the lamb, using the original hole as a guide, so that the bushing would fit in the lamb.
This is the best I can advise without seeing the loom for myself.
If I can be of further help, let me know. I've restored 4 antique looms to working condition for folks in the last year and a half, at times fabricating missing parts. If you have a webcam, I could possibly help by remote, no charge thru skype.
Hello sir, can you list the components that make up the machine?
no
I suffered through setting up a Glimakra C-M loom. Very much a P.I.T.A (Pain In the A)
I took a 1 week Glimaakra class 8 years ago. Glad I took the class, so that I learned that I don't like glimaakra looms. I'm quite happy with my Louet Spring.
@@curmudgeon66 Our guild has a Spring loom but no one wants to use it. C-M is a mystery
@@ksisu1324 , IMHO Springs are very easy to weave on, and relatively easy to set up (except for treadle tie up, which is also a PITA because one has to practically lay on the floor to do it)
@@curmudgeon66 A mini scissor-lift would be so handy to raise/lower these looms for dealing with the treadles
