That is a nifty-twisty tool! I don't know a thing about weaving, but you seemed to have mastered the craft! It looks like it's going to be an exceptional shawl! Great job my friend!
Thanks my friend. I do appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on my videos. It always lightens my day when I see that you have posted a comment.
You are quite welcome, I'm glad it was helpful to you. That is one of my reasons for doing videos like this, to help others understand how some of these things are done.
I love the color of the shawl, bet it is beautiful. What a cool little tool to twist the fringe, very smart. Thank you for sharing and take care my friend, :)
Thank you for the video! I have a poncho a friend of a friend gave to me - it's clearly handwoven and very pretty, but the ends aren't secured at all. This should work perfectly
thanks for this! I was actually watching the double weave video (L shaped shawl) but your additional video on the twisted fringe has answered a question I've had on my mind since childhood - I could never figure out how the fringe was made on my Grandmother's blanket - now I know and its only taken until I'm sixty to find out. THANKS :)
Glad that my video was able to answer that for you. It does look so complex, and yet the way it is done is so simple. Thanks for watching and for your kind comment.
Aieee! I like that little gadget you have for twisting the ends. My friend you need to work on one to use to tie a fishing line on a small hook. By the time I finish tying my hook to the line my mouth is all bent out of shape, my fingers are numb, and I said about every cuss word in the book LOL! Good video guy, it was very interesting, I can't get over how many gadgets and tricks you to make cloth products. Take care my friend.
Chef, wish I was clever enough to invent a fine little gadget like that, but I have to buy them to use them. And as for fishing . . . well, I explained to Juanelo, on his last video that the only way I have ever learned to fish was by using $$ as bait when giving my custom to the local fish monger. I do, however, appreciate your kind comments. A cooking video is coming soon.
I'm really enjoying your videos - spend much more time watching than weaving!! I have one of the fringe twisters and I love it. I usually take the outside thread from each group of warps and cross it with the outside thread in the next group to be twisted, in order to protect the weft. Perhaps that's not so crucial if the warp is more closely spaced, but I have seen blankets where up to an inch of weft may remain exposed between fringes. What's your opinion on this? Do you keep your knots in line with each other? That's not obvious on the video.
I never thought to take the outside thread from each group like you do, I may have to try that, thanks for the idea. I am always happy to get ideas like that from other weavers. I don't do anything special to keep the knots in line, I just try to generally be close.
So is that enough to keep the weaving from unraveling? (I was looking for a tutorial video on how to fringe fabric a little faster than one thread at a time. Very nice lesson on tying the ends! Thanks!)
Yes, if you tie a not in the end of the twisted fringe, as I do in the video, then this is sufficient to prevent unraveling. And this looks really great, I highly recommend this technique.

Your videos are so darn helpful. Thank you!
Thank you! I watched a couple of other videos but yours was the best instruction and I finally got it.
You are a great teacher.
THANK YOU! I just took a baby blanket off the loom and couldn't remember how to twist the fringes. This was the perfect tutorial :)

Thanks for watching too. The little gadget really does save lots of time and do good work. The full shawl video will be another day or so.
I can't wait, I have always wanted to learn to do this, thank you so very much and have a Blessed day!
