I have scoured the internet and TH-cam looking for details on how to do this and by far, your explanations are the clearest. Thank you so much, have watched and re-watched this many times. Still a beginner.
I'm from Mexico and I'm just learning this technique. Your tutorial is excellent! Gave me some good tips, specially how to tie the end of warp which looks amazingly practical, love it. Thanks for this video.
Thank you so much... your effort can't be expressed in words. It is you people...who make the things around us easy to understand. All those which we are unable to understand.. through bookish knowledge...you make it feel . Don't have words for you.....only I can say... please keep helping us all this way.
WOW ITS VERY COMPLICATED! KNOW I KNOW WHY MOST HAND WEAVED CLOTH ARE SO EXPENSIVE. I THINK THE LOOM IS THE FIRST COMPUTER EVER INVENTED BY HUMAN. THE PREPARATION IS SO COMPLEX! YOU NEED TO HAVE A VERY SKILLFUL EMPIRICAL MIND AND AMAZING MEMORY TO DO ALL THAT LOOPS. THIS IS ONLY A SMALL LOOM, IN MY STATE WE HAVE A TRADITIONAL CRAFT CENTER WHERE THEY USED HUGE TRADITIONAL SITTING LOOM THAT CAN WEAVE A 2 METER WIDE FABRIC AND THEY USED VERY SMALL TREAD LIKE SATIN AND SILK! IMAGINE THE TIME AND EFFORT IT TOOK FOR ALL THESE OLD WOMEN TO COUNT ALL THAT LOOPS AND TREADS BEFORE EVEN BEGIN TO WEAVE! AND THEY EVEN MADE A VERY ELABORATE PATTERN WITH GOLD AND SILVER TREADS!!!
Bonjour , super vidéo .j’aurais aimé un sous titre en français car je ne comprends pas l’anglais , mais j’ai quand même appris beaucoup de choses .je regarderai de nouveau . Milles mercis 👍👍👍🍀
Thank you so much for this excellent video, I have a quick question: why do you turn the warp upside down and put in a new lease stick before you begin weaving? Thanks!
If you are talking about the section starting 16:03.. Even though the cord on the Warp Bars is holding the warp threads in 1or1/2- inch divided groups, the woven heading keeps individual warp threads in even spaces, and I flipped the warp to weave the heading in both ends. You might see it better in the video below which I used thicker yarn. th-cam.com/video/y5Br8VTgbgM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your response! I understand why you put the headings in, I’m just confused why it is necessary to turn the warp upside down, why can’t you leave the same side facing up when you bring the other end of the warp threads to you? No worries if my question is too confusing!
The term I used “Turning the warp upside down” may be the confusing description. “Rotating the warp” may be the clear description. See on video (16:08)
this type of weaving looks like a lot of fun and stress relieving, but when you showed the side view you were going so fast that I couldn't see how the sheds got changed. maybe its just me. But this is something I would definitely like to learn.
Sorry for the video on such a Fast mode. It was necessary to keep the overall video short. Pausing the video to analyze the steps might be helpful, if you haven't tried.
Thank you for posting this, I've always wanted to try it but never understood the set up before. I'm not quite sure about the green thread sticks, are they attached to alternating warp threads?
Regarding the green thread sticks.. are you asking about the yarn for Heddle sticks prepared on 07:49 ? If so, Yes, it is to pick up alternating warp yarns in this setting. The opposite set of yarns are picked up by the Shed stick (14:33). Between the Heddle sticks and the Shed stick, both even and odd set of yarn is set up to be picked up for the plain weaving setting.
This has certainly helped me understand this better, but I'm still having trouble here. How is this actually working? I've watched a few times through and i cannot figure out how paying the yarn through is creating the weave. In missing something very obvious here but i can't seem to get it just by watching.
The Back strap loom is a type of weaving loom. This simple loom is mobile and can be easily made with wood, rope and a strap. If you search for “Back strap Loom” or “Back strap weaving” you would be able to find lots of images and videos. You could search “loom” to learn about different type of looms as well. Wikipedia has a simple description of loom which might be helpful. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom
With a bit of cutting and sanding, I made the parts using 1/2 in. & 3/4in. Oak Round Dowels, and 7 /16 in. x 2-1/8 in. Pine Stop Moulding, which I bought from the Home Depot. HoIf you look around your house you might find something to utilize; any straight sticks/bar/ pipe and anything that is a bit flat and wider to use as sword/beater.. Of course, you can buy already made backstrap loom which would cost you more.
Что делать, образуются катышки..? Это всегда раздражает. Я видел, как перед тем, как еще только начать натягивать нить на палки, их предварительно окунают в крахмальную воду....
I usually use cotton yarn and yes, it creates fuzz balls causing the heddles locked up. I starched the yarn before which helped some. Many uses nylon thread since they are smoother and doesn’t create the fuzz but fuzz from warp sometime cling to the heddles and locked up the heddles as well… In general, you want to choose smooth, tightly spun (even braided) yarn for heddles. It would be better to be thin taking less space but need to be strong enough. You do not want to use too stiff yarn though since it might cause each heddle not staying in position you set up. There are constant rubbings between warps and heddles while weaving, so depending on what yarn you use for warp and the warp setting, you could consider choose yarn that would create less friction.

One shed opens by the String Heddles (20:20) by pulling up the bottom set of warps and the other shed opens by the Shed Stick (20:25). It is important to keep the warp tension a bit loosened when you use the Heddle Stick and keep the warp tension tight when you open the shed by the Shed Stick. Also make sure to keep the Shed Stick far away from the Heddle stick when you use the Heddle Stick. I hope this solve your problem.

Just found your channel. Wonderful
Thank you!!! this was so much easier to understand than others i have watched.
thanks for a great video. i like the technique you do when putting the warp on the backstrap beam. Going to try it this way for sure
It's so cool. Thank you for showing us how to do it ❤️

You can go into the settings for the video - it looks like a cog in the icons across the bottom - and slow down the part you want to watch.

Como sacar el peine
Hello, I have one question where do i get the tools?
With a bit of cutting and sanding, I made the parts using 1/2 in. & 3/4in. Oak Round Dowels, and 7 /16 in. x 2-1/8 in. Pine Stop Moulding, which I bought from the Home Depot.

Wow humans are amazing 🤩 of i had to figure this out I would’ve declared too complicated 🤪bark cloth or we all go naked
Thank you for this! It's been quite helpful. Just a question: does this technique of dressing the loom have a name?
I just call it as dressing the backstrap loom. I don't know any other name. Sorry.
@@kyoungaecho9906 ah that's ok! Thanks! I've just seen it done in a different way, so I was wondering if they were different techniques
@@TwoBitColorPencil There are so many variations for every technique in Fibers. Whatever works for you would be the best way.

Where do you get wooden parts of the loom?

Very good explanation. I have a question what type of yarn did you use??
3/2 pearl cotton is used for this.
Weaving off loom just sticks.
The side view needs to be slowed down. I’m having a difficult time seeing the mechanics of it.
You can slowdown the speed from the " Settings" when you viewing the video. I hope that helps.
I can’t figure out how to get my other shed open, help?????
One shed opens by the String Heddles (20:20) by pulling up the bottom set of warps and the other shed opens by the Shed Stick (20:25). It is important to keep the warp tension a bit loosened when you use the Heddle Stick and keep the warp tension tight when you open the shed by the Shed Stick. Also make sure to keep the Shed Stick far away from the Heddle stick when you use the Heddle Stick. I hope this solve your problem.
