I can't thank you enough for the video instructions and with the book, I have woven 3 rugs so Far.

Como me gustaría que fuese en español

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

Sorry. I can barely do them in English much less Spanish!

[@patriciahb9365]

Thank you for the instructions. I'm having problems seeing the detail due to the white cord on the white background. Thanks for the demo though.

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

Live and learn! That was one of my first videos and on my list to redo when I've the time. Thanks for the input.

Patricia, I've just redone Installing String Heddles. It's on a black background! Also, there is a new video on warping that is larger and on a dark background.

@@carolinespurgeon6016 Thank you Caroline. You are so thoughtful!

Hello, can you demonstrate how to start the warp on a loom? Thank you for showing Diné way.

There are a couple videos that show the start you might look at:

I'm sorry these don't have a closeup - maybe I'll do a video of just the start. At lot of people seem to have problems with the knot; I'll include that, too. In the meantime, see if these videos help. Thanks for watching. Do you weave full-size or on a Cactus Flower loom?
