Thank you so much for all your excellent videos. I really appreciate the fact that you say exactly what yarn you have used and why. This is an enormous help to a complete beginner to yarn. Your Mum produced a wonderful first project 😁.
Ohhhh! Im sooo going to try this! Great idea. Finding nice bath towels is never easy so why not make one, two or MORE! Im also thinking of possibly a rug? I do like the way you pronounce chenille, we in US say Sha' neal. See your way is much more eloquent. Yay For your mom and her lovely weaving!!!! I didnt know M Brassard made such a book of all the yarns. Another must do. Ty again for another lovely vid! Happy Weaving!

Thank you so much for your comment and for your help with pronunciation 😅 I'll practice saying Sha'neal! Also, you could definitely make more than one towel at time 😊 I don't know for a rug, I will have to try it! My mom is flattered that you like her towel 🥰
I've just discovered you and I have been daydreaming of weaving for the last week. I am have been a Quilter for 10 years, so this is new territory. Very exciting though and I plan on getting a smaller 20" loom to start then investing in a large one if I love it and when we move to somewhere with more room 😅 my craft room could quickly take up my whole home haha
oh if I ever have the space/money for a loom I'm for sure trying this (and I'll make sure to use your affiliate links to buy the yarn) normal terrycloth towels have such a bad feel to me, and these seem like they're probably softer and maybe a bit smoother? I'd probably try a sample first just to make sure, but I'm sure the feeling can't be worse than the terrycloth besides, it's just cool to make it myself!
Always inspiring and informative videos, thank-you! Do you often find that the M Brassard yarns have issues with colours running? What is the ratio of vinegar to water that you use?
Thanks 🥰 I have never had issues of colour running with M. Brassard yarns. This being said, I always make sure to fix it with vinegar to be extra safe. I don't really measure when I mix vinegar and water 🤔 I'll try to measure it for my next project and come back to you with a more precise answer 😌
Depending on the color, Brassards thread does bleed. Some more than others. You can use Color Grabbers during the wet finish wash. They work beautifully.
Hello and thank you for the Video! ❤ How hot can you wash those towels and could you guess how much of a bobbin of the chenille did you use for one towel? Thanks a lot!
Hello! Those are good questions! In my household, we only wash with cold water, so I'm not exactly sure how hot you could wash them. Maybe the manufacturer could help you with that. Still, I put them in the dryer no-problem! Also, this project was done a while ago and I did a poor job at taking precise notes about the weft. One thing is sure, the amount of weft yarn needed will depend on the size of the towel. I'm guessing one cone would have been enough for the smaller towel, maybe a bit more for the longer one. I hope this help!
Bonjour Josée! Je ne l'ai jamais essayé, donc je ne pourrais pas vous dire avec certitude l'effet que cela donnerait. Toutefois, mon impression est que les serviettes seraient plus épaises ce qui peut être agréable 😊 Laissez moi savoir si jamais vous l'essayez un jour 😁
Thank you! That's a good question. I have made this project a while ago and sadly my notes were not too precise on this matter. One thing is sure, the amount of yarn will depend on the size of the towel. I'm guessing one cone would have been enough for the smaller towel, maybe a bit more for the longer one. I hope this can still help you a little bit!
I enjoy watching your videos. Where did you purchase your cotton Chenille? I am in the process of purchasing a riding heddle loom. I have never weaved in my long lifetime and very anxious to trying it.
That's awesome! Welcome into the great world of weaving! This cotton chenille is from Maurice Brassard and I'm lucky enough to live only 1h away from their factory so I can buy directly from them. If you are in Canada, I believe it's possible to order from them online, but their website is not really user friendly. If you are in the United States, The Woolery holds this yarn. Here's the link (affiliate) : woolery.com/maurice-brassard-cotton-chenille-yarn.html?aff=214
Why on earth would anyone use chenille for bath towels?? It eventually will fall apart when washed. I use a 3/2 cotton warp with a boucle for the weft. I wash them in hot water and throw into the dryer. You can't do that with chenille however, it does make very pretty scarves, and blankets.
I believe we might not be talking about the same kind of chenille yarn. In my video, I'm using COTTON chenille, not Rayon chenille. I have washed my towels many times and I have put them in the dryer many times. They always come out great. And I agree, cotton boucle can also make great towels 😊
@@Curly_n_Yarny I am sorry I thought you were talking about rayon Chenille. How much shrinkage? I just finished a bathsheet. 31 inches x 68 inches. 3/2 cotton warp and Boucle weft. Pattern from LunaticFringe for either 4 or 8 shaft. I bet you could transpose it to a RHL!!
@@Curly_n_Yarny Désolant ce genre de commentaire, j'espère que ça te coule sur le dos comme un canard! reste comme tu es, très agréable de regarder tes vidéos.
Yeah! I finally found a video about weaving bath towels. I've been searching for quite some time now. Thank you for this video
You are welcome!! I'm really happy that I could help 😁
Same! I've been trying decide whether to get the boucle or the cotton chinelle...
Thank you so much for all your excellent videos. I really appreciate the fact that you say exactly what yarn you have used and why. This is an enormous help to a complete beginner to yarn. Your Mum produced a wonderful first project 😁.

Great video again thank you!🙏I love that I can weave towels - can’t wait to see if I can get some of this chenille in UK. I will definitely try these!
Thanks Beverley 😊 I hope you can find some! It's really fun to weave 😃
I've not managed to find any cotton chenille anywhere in the UK yet.
This is on my list to try ... thank you for sharing
You are welcome 🙂

Hahah! I understand you! There is never enough room 😂 I'm sending you a warm welcome into the weaving world 🥰 I'm sure you will have lot's of fun!
Loved this idea.
Thanks! 😊
Thank you for letting us know the Cotton Chenille isn't strong enough to be used as the warp. 👍👍👍
You are welcome 😊
Did you use 2 strands for the warp? Or 1 strand in the slot and 1 in the hole? Thanks
I used only 1 thread in each slot and hole. I think it could be interesting to try them double and see the difference!
oh if I ever have the space/money for a loom I'm for sure trying this (and I'll make sure to use your affiliate links to buy the yarn)

Est-ce qu’on pourrait utiliser du coton 4/8 en chaîne ou si ça changerait trop l’aspect ? Merci pour vos vidéos très instructives et inspirantes.

@@Curly_n_Yarny merci, je vais l’essayer et vous reviens 😊
These are great! Did you double the warp in the slots and holes?
Thanks ☺️ To answer you, I did not double the warp threads!
Thank you!
Hello! Great videos! I'm loving them. How many cones of chanille do you think that towl requires? If you did one color. Thank you!

Great ❣❣
Thanks ❤
do you think the chenille cotton would be a good yarn for weaving baby blankets?
Good idea! I think it could 😄
These towels look great! What is the width of your loom?
Thanks! My loom is 32" wide 😊
The cotton chenille looks like just a thin Bernat yarn.
Oh that's possible!

I figure about 10% of shrinkage. Congrats on your bathsheet, I'm sure its lovely!
J'aimerais des vidéos en français,
Je comprends! Je prévois en faire en français sur les bases d'ici la fin de l'année 😊
To pronounce “chenille” = sha neel’
Lol- maybe other English speakers can correct me :) But, I’m pretty sure that’s it.
Oh great! Thank you for your help ☺️
Che-neal is the way it’s pronounced in the USA
Great! Thank you 😁
