I watched this video a couple of weeks ago when I was down a weaving TH-cam rabbit hole and then a few days ago I was weaving and noticed a knot. I immediately thought of Jane saying, "Egads!" Thank you for this video! It really helped. And smurf head, I'm dying.
Wow thank you so much! I had to piece together some threads while winding my warp and now when I weave up to those knots I now know how to repair it! What a handy thing to know!
hi i just wanna let u know i just clicked your channel from this comment and it brought me so much joy to see and to know you are also weaving too i wish you and your animals the best :)
Hi Maggie, thanks for the suggestion. After we washed the piece, the thinner thread repair was not really noticeable. It's a great way to do the repair on the loom!
I'm sure it's not "correct", but this is how I've always fixed a broken warp! It's always worked fab for me and I've never had to muck around with hanging extra lengths off the back of my loom.
Intrigued ... but don't understand how the knot is cut and the two ends are not woven in - but the new hand woven in thread stops the cut ends from pulling out. Please explain.
Jane created a "bridge" on either side of the knot before she cut it off. The bridge will provide friction to keep the two ends of the original warp thread in place (so you don't have to have a new one hanging off the back). Everything will snuggle up together when the cloth is wet finished.
After wet finishing, do you cut off the "smyrf" head AND the knot? It would seem that is the process....Thank you! I am thinking of using this for chenille - several warp threads broke during the warping the loom process, and it would be great to just tie the knot!
I have a knot in my acrylic variegated worsted weight warp. Will I still be able to use your method, or should I repair it as I would a broken warp thread with a weight off the back of my rigid heddle loom?
Hi Susan, don't see why it wouldn't work and both ways would be fine. If you use Jane's method, make sure that you have long enough tails on both ends as your acrylic yarn is most likely stretchy and will come in when off the loom and you want it to be long enough. I'd give it a try, it's so easier on the loom :)
If you're worried about a slippery yarn weaseling out, would you use a sharp needle and actually insert the 2-ply thread through the warp thread you're replacing, bridge the gap, then finish the same way, cutting the ends of the two ply flush? Wool's easy, it'll full in and no one will be the wiser, but is there a risk of the cut threads pulling out later?
Hi Elena, I have never had a problem with these threads pulling out because of the length of the overlap. I only weave with natural fibres that all shrink to some degree when fulled or wet finished. So to answer your question, I have never done that but there is no reason why you can’t :) You need to do what you feel happiest about :)

Found a knot today!!! Thanks for your beautifully clear explanations and videos, Jane! 💗💗💗

Wow, great knowledge, and I love that pattern 😍 would you share the pattern???
@@kellysouthwell4043 Go to Jane Stafford Textiles. She has kits and patterns available there.
Thank you very much, Jane! I knew there had to be an easier way than hanging lines off the back of the loom! Hope all's going well there!
What is this beautiful pattern? This is great tutorial! Thanks! I’m just learning & this is sooo good!!!
I’m glad you liked it :). I am weaving a 4 shaft twill.
Wow! Who knew? Thank you Jane!
I would have like to see a follow-up, ie., after it is washed, ends cut. thanks you!

Excellent knot fix.
OH MY GOD. Jane, you have changed my life.
Does this work only with wool? or acrylics, etc too?
so beautiful, how can i buy that loom
Hi @toanle2253 you can visit our website at janestaffordtextiles.com/

Amazing work!
Very easy to follow- I know this will happen sometime! Thank you
Hermosísimo!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏

Wow! Signing up for the guild! Thank you!😊
Great info. Thank you so much.
That's a cool trick! Thank you.
Glad it's helpful!

Very interesting and very helpful!
Που μπορώ να βρω και εγώ ένα τέτοιο αργαλειό..?
Hi there! This is a Louet David loom. They are great looms to weave on :)
Great video. Is fixing the knot on the loom better than wasting yards of thread when warping to remove the whole warp length that had the knot? TIA
Awesome! Thank you!
What happens if the knot interferes with my weaving ?
Wonderful video! Do you cut the knot before or after washing?
Thanks Rachel, best to cut the knot after you wash it :)
(Better to cut after washing) is this because the fibers will full at washing?

Mam can u give me the patter of this project?
Do I detect a twill gamp on that loom? Possibly to be seen in an upcoming Online Guild lesson?
Great catch!!
easypeasy! 👍
