- Tips and tricks for weaving with Mohair and other fuzzy yarns! Ever wanted to use that beautiful textured yarn in your weaving project? Curious how people get slubs, nubs and texture in woven scarves? Join me on this little weaving adventure with mohair, boucle and chunky yarn on a rigid heddle loom! (ps. sorry about the dogs)

I like your videos so much! I completely understand everything you say and you make it such easy to do! Please make a project and show it to us from the beginning. I want to follow all your steps to do the same and learn right! You are great teacher! Thank you a lot!
I truly appreciate hearing from you and will do my next weave start to finish. :)
I had a sticky yarn problem and I found that running an empty shuttle close to the heddle first really helped. I would slide it down to the woven work to clear the threads The extra step wasn't that time consuming and I was actually able to speed up my work. New subscriber!! Thanks for the tips.
Glad to have you here and great tip!! I love the final results with textured yarn! :)
I use a pick up stick to do this... it's even better as the end is tapered and there's no slot to catch threads. I've woven a mohair scarf.. warp and weft and it took a wee bit longer, but turned out great.
I really appreciate your comment about using paper to separate layers of your weaving as you roll on the front beam. Normally I only do that on the back beam and cover the knots going onto the front beam with a slit cardboard roll or short length of brown paper... but I can see how irregular warps with bumps could distort one's weaving.
I used to do the same (back beam only) but realized that the knots on front were causing issues with my warp tension. The carboard roll idea is fabulous!
Just found your video and feel more confident weaving with fuzzy yarn. I appreciate your style of teaching. Anxious to see your other videos. Extra paper on the front and back is a great idea. Thank you.
I'm so glad you enjoy the video! I raise Angora Goats so working with mohair is something I needed to master. It may be slower but the results are gorgeous!
Great tips, thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
Just found this awesome video so thank you very much it’s very helpful and full of great tips & you explain everything so well I’m looking forward to seeing more videos from you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
So beautiful❤️
Thank you! 😊
thank you! your a great instructor!
I appreciate that!
Wouldn't it be nice if there were caps to slip onto the leading ends of those stick shuttles to keep the warp threads out of them? Thank you for this video. I am trying to help a non-weaving friend who wants her first project to be a mohair scarf! I think this might change her mind to something with less sticky threads.
Caps would be brilliant! I do love mohair and raise Angora goats that produce it but for a first project she will need quite a bit of patience. Good for you sharing the weaving love!

Thank you so much!
