Thanks for this video Kelly. Very good. Please don’t ever stop what you’re doing as not only myself but I’m sure the entire weaving community finds them extremely valuable.
Hello i know it will be bit weird that men asking for suggestion but I'm doing that what kinde loom reeds size you would suggest for we're beginner in weaving thank you very much
Thank you! This is so good explanained. It makes it much easier to choose a yarn. For me it is so difficult to find the correct yarn. If I use a 14 wpi yarn on a 10" heddle it would make it more firm right? 🤔
It's not difficult to do this Diana, just take your time and be careful. If your threads are already untied from the apron rod, gently remove them in sections from behind the heddle and let them hang in position over the back beam. If you do this gently, you can preserve the order of the threads. Then you can just place your new heddle on and begin threading again. You will need to recalculate your new width for the different sized heddle and mark out the width on the heddle so you can start threading from one side. I hope this all makes sense?
A little confused on counting slots and holes..in the 7.5 you count the slot as 1/2 but in the 10 heddle you count the slot as a whole number (10)🤔It seems like a contradiction...thanks for any help!
So, the number just means the amount of spaces in an inch. For example, for a 7.5 dent heddle, over the entire width of the heddle, the spaces (holes and slots) work out to 7 and a half for every inch because of the way the heddle is made. With the 10 dent, it's the same, there are 10 spaces in every inch but it's an even number instead of odd.
@@KellyCasanova Yes I understand what you mean, I re-watched again and realized the last dent went PAST the 1" mark causing the numbering to be the "1/2" I referred to. The first time I watched it I thought it fell inside the 1"mark so it didn't make sense to count it as 1/2....sorry but thanks for clarifying..my bad!

Most rigid heddle looms come with either a 7.5 or 8 dent reed. After that, it depends whether you like weaving with thick or thin yarns. I like to use my 10 and 12.5 dent reeds most, but I like to weave with thinner yarns.
Thank you so much 😍💐
You're most welcome! 🥰

Thank you!
Thanks for this. It was so so helpful and you explain things so clearly
I'm glad it was helpful to you Tammi 😀
Excellent as usual!!!!! I always learn something new or get some clarification. Thank you!!
❤️
Beautifully explained, Kelly.🙂
Thank you! 💕
Thank you for this. Nicely done.
Thank you!

That's right, 14wpi is more suited to a 7.5 or 8 dent heddle for a balanced plain weave, so using it in a 10 dent heddle would make a firm fabric.
Great video. I warped my yarn with a #10 heddle but I want to use a #8. How would you unthread and retread?

@@KellyCasanova Yes! it dies!! Thank you Kelly!!
7,5 but what does 30/10 means? I don't know inches only metric.
It means that over 10cm you will fit 30 threads 😊
I didn’t realize the dot was pointing to the middle. I’ve been counting all this time. 😱😔😀
😆 It sure is handy once you know what it's for!

Your voice is pretty similar to Florence Welch's
I had to look up who she is 😆
