This single tip has improved my weaving so much, more than anything else. I really enjoy your videos, you do a great job of explaining everything. I am going through and watching all your videos.
I'm so glad this helped! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Jenell, Great tips. I'm a new weaver and just loving it. This should help me improve a lot! One challenge I have that might be a good tutorial is, my yarn gets twisted sometimes and then my weft doesn't always look the same size. Also, sometimes the yarn will untwist and become too loose. Thanks for all your great instructions!
I’m glad this was helpful! What type of yarn are you finding gives you this issue?
Me too (new weaver and having the twisting and untwisting issue). I've been using yarn from KPC and it constantly either twists too tight or unravels completely.
Just started and gave myself a “square” with an hourglass figure. Thanks for the help, I needed it
Glad I could help!
Super helpful. I have a rigid-heddle loom and when weaving my first batch of tea towels there is quite a bit of "draw-in" (if that's the term). Your vid has helped me loosen up! Greetings from Washington state!
I call it draw-in too 😊 I’m glad this was helpful!!
It’s funny, I had already picked up a lot of your weaving habits like holding the outside warp string when you bring the weft all the way through, just from watching your other videos. Just finished my first weaving aah! Thanks for the all the helpful videos! Definitely saved me a few times.
haha that's so funny, I hadn't really realized I do that until I was making this video. Yay so exciting you finished your first weaving! I'm so glad the videos have been helpful ☺️
Hi Jenell, hope you & Cody are both OK.
Thanks for thus tutorial. Sometimes its good to have a reminder about pulling the warp strings in.
Then other things in general.
Thanks for this tutorial.
Take care,stay safe.
Happy Weaving.
Lots of love to you both.

Absolutely, all these little details add up to make a better weaving!
@@spruceandlinen Its easy to firget the small but main details. No matter whether we are New weavers who do it has a hobby or those who wish to make a living from it.
I know I've learned such a lot from you, I know that I'd never or want to make a living from it.
To those who follow you and wish to start weaving. I don't think they'd find a Better Tutor than you.
I really appreciate everything you do on your channel.
Keep smiling,keep weaving & keep safe and well
Lots of love Jen xxxx
I jumped into my first weaving without doing much research and here I am, 9 inches tall into a 12" wide warp and it's shrunken to only 9" wide and only then I found your channel and this tutorial! 😩 I'll probably just start over at this point and use it as my practice piece, but better late than never I guess? Thanks for the videos!!
Its all a learning process, and as I always say, there's no shame in the un-weaving game! I know it can be frustrating, but you've got this! Thanks for being here and happy weaving ☺️
Wish i asked sooner, thanks for tips.
Very Thanks. I am learning a lot in your videos. Very very thanks.
Great Job.
Glad this helped!
Great
if the frame width is 30 or + inches would using a heddle help keep the arch or eliminating the arch with a heddle make keeping the edges straighter, the weave better and easier? I'm trying to learn how to weave linen, cotton and wool threads for cloth/fabric to make clothes etc. I learned how to use both manual and electric sewing machines for making things. But now am watching different videos going back to pre-industrial times (well maybe not too far; that animal skins are worn only) of hand making anything I may need. Well maybe not grow flax and do the steps prior to having thread on a spool but have the knowledge of how to if a spool of thread, yarn skein not available. So, if a frame loom can do as much as a Rigid type of loom that was used? BC-19th century that homes had the space for the floor sized looms, I like the idea of the simple, space saving frame loom I found videos to watch. So, back to the idea of using a heddle on the frame loom: helpful with different sizes of threads, but not with yarns?
For weaving fabric a rigid heddle or floor loom is going to be a way better option- being able to adjust your warp tension as you weave cloth is really important, in my opinion (and experience) trying to weave cloth on a frame loom would be a very frustrating process.
Very helpful. Thanks Jenell.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thank you, this was so helpful!
You’re so welcome, I’m glad it helped!
Thank you !
You're welcome!
Gracias!!!!
You’re welcome!
Why does mine do this even when its not even touching at the edges?
Are you still creating the arch? The arch is actually the most important part as it provides the necessary slack to go over and under the warp strings.
