Rigid Heddle Loom Weaving - Custom Cotton Bathmat - Loop & Pile
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2021
- Long story about our head of household bathroom, and it's ill fitting bathmat aside, we're weaving a custom size and shape on my rigid heddle loom. I'm using Cotton worsted and 8/2 cotton for the hem to weave this loop and pile bathmat! I learned so much, and it actually worked! You can do it too!

"...putting time and effort into something and not knowing how it's going to turn out".......that just described everything I make 🤣 life is short, projects should be fun, even if it doesn't work out. Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn ❣️
Make the bath mat you want to see in the world, I love it. And great philosophy on life!
Best quote ever: “Every step on your Success Journey isn’t going to look like success.” 🥰🥰🥰. Wise words to remember. I’m totally making bath mats!!!!!! 22:41
Lovely, lovely, lovely!!!! So, was the chit chat about success and failure. Thank you!!! And, by the way, I love that you show you've read every response. That shows that you appreciate that your subscribers comment. Thank you so much.
It’s always the loving coaching that makes me stop in my tracks and send so much love up north to you, Trish. You rock so hard.
Really wish I had someone saying this stuff to me long ago, quite honestly. ❤️
@@FiberLoveDiary I’ll be ,ore out loud. I think it a LOT. Introversion doesn’t always help others, I realize.
My superhero name is 'The Procrastinator' (you have to say it with a deep announcers voice!!) Anywhoo before I ramble on, just wanted to say I love your videos and find them inspiring and informative. And as to 'housekeeping' the older you get the worse your eyesight gets and you just don't see the dust anymore! 🤓
Being a good housekeeper is vastly overrated IMHO! That is a super project. I loved the loops between every thread and the 8/2 cotton for the hem is brilliant! Putting time and effort into something that you're not sure is going to work out is called life, isn't it? Plus we got 3 different hairdos in one video!
It isn't gross, honestly! But dust gets ignored a lot. Just telling the truth!
I so enjoy every single video of yours that I watch. I wish you were my next door neighbor/friend/ or relative. ❤️
I’m horrible at house keeping. It’s so nice to know I’m not alone. I love your bath mat. It looks great! It makes a great puppy yoga mat too. ☺️💜
My mom used to tell my dad "you could have married a cleaner, but you chose a crafter." 😄
Bath matt looks great. And I love your philosophy on failing. The more I watch you weave the more I start thinking about and then I have to stop myself...
How can you possibly not like it. Perfect for spring. Daffodils. Love it.
It has really grown on me! I love it in the guest bath, maybe just not for our bathroom.
Hi Trisha, Thank you for being so honest about yourself and any of your imperfections. It is so freeing for women who feel they are judged by their looks, home, careers, etc. Growing up with a household of perfectionist which was very stressful and judgmental, I do not meet their standard but that is okay. My house is a home and our friends and kids feel free to come home and relax. Your rug looks so nice and I love the colors. Keep up the great work.
Hi Trish. Thank you so much for weaving this bath mat. The hem is perfect. I love the color. I love the way the variegated yarn makes this beautiful pattern. I love the loops and I think bare feet are really going to love the feel of those Loops when they get out of the bath tub. I think all of your choices are great. I'm glad that you found what you love about it and are going to make another one. If I wasn't in the middle of trying to sell my house and pack up right now, I would already be warping my loom; so it's going to be awhile but that's on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing this. Well done.
I like how you match the mat with the towels.
You are spot on. You only fail when you fail to try! I really like your results and I think I will make a bath mat also. Thanks.
Your videos are so helpful and inspiring. Mistakes and “failures” when I was younger stymied me to not try again. I don’t know where that attitude came from but it wasn’t at all useful for a maker. Thank you for teaching us to look at things differently. Your experiences give us a running start in these projects and will save us money and frustration. Luther is such a ham. He acts like being in the camera shot is unintentional. We’re on to you little one!
Hey hope you're well....Urgh the Labrynthitus got me after an infection and I've not been able to watch any vids or TV or even read a book as I've had major room spin for weeks..... but I'm now better and catching up on weeks of videos ... loving it, binge watch galore!!! and I love your new hair!!!! What a cool technique and oh my days..... like I'm learning so much .... I love that weave!! Thanks for that!! Also, my house is currently "husband clean" as in.... he has literally been in charge of all chores bless him and eh..... let's just say I'm spending the weekend cleaning lol.
You are so right, failure isn’t Failure. I just watched a video from Adam Savage today about not being afraid to fail. The universe must be trying to tell me something!
Also, thank you for sharing that you’re not a perfect housekeeper. I’m willing to bet you’re just fine, but I think a lot of us women put all of that stress on ourselves to do all the things, and it’s nice to know that other people are as imperfect as I am.
I really do think the house is just fine. The bathrooms are like kryptonite to me. They make my arms too weak to hold up a toilet brush 😂😂
🤣
Wow that is so cool!!!
Thanks so much for showing us!! I love what you did.
Thats neat! I love the customization!
Love how that turned out!
Love it! I love your RHL videos. So inspiring
I love the colors and the pattern. It totally works in that bathroom. It’s so true even if a project doesn’t turn out how you expected you’ve learned more then if you didn’t try it at all.
Ok, it's on the list! TFS
Your bath mat turned out so nice! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I think a rigid heddle loom is in my future! Love the texture on this! :)
Exciting!
Your thoughts on "failing" are what I have taught my children." What have you learned from this and what could you do differently". Love the mat and love the colour 👍✨💕
I love the pep talk! Love the bath mat and how it came out
So cool Trish!!
Love the bath mat and the new haircut!
It came out so pretty! And matches your guest towels so well. Luther is very helpful! ☺
Love the bath mat! The hem gives it such a nice, crisp finish.
Great job! I like both textures of the matt.
Love your message. We're all on the road to success!
I love the texture of the loops for a cotton, bathroom rug. Awesome 🤩.
I really love this project! What a great idea for those cones of cotton. Thanks very much for sharing :-)
I love your bath mat. You always come up with such good ideas. Stay safe and well
I love it! And thanks for the pep talk it was very timely for me♥♥
I think it turned out real nice Did awesome 👏
It needed some no slip gripee stuff on the backside.😄😄 I think I really like the loops but if I do it I'll make them bigger so when they shrink there are still sizable loops left. Good job, keep up the good work. 😁
Great project! Looking forward to trying this. You are so right about doing new things for learning. Go for it, don't stagnate.
I hope you do try it. I'm looking for the right yarn to do it again.
It looks fantastic, and perfect with the towels! Also, 100% agree with the go for it and then learn from it attitude! 💖🧶🐑🎉
Love the mat, I will have to make one for my bathroom, thanks for the inspiration.
It’s nice to see you back 😊 I hope your feeling better! Love the way you planned your weave 💕
Oh brilliant video - thank you so much for making it. You always inspire me to try and copy what you weave and I can’t wait to try. I love that you learned a ton of things and that you shared this with us.This bath mat turned out lovely...Can’t wait to see your final mat take shape. 🙏
What a great project! And I love your haircut. 💕
love the limeaid color, haven't seen that one before. so pretty coming off the loom!
Love your videos! I’ve learned so much with your honest conversation about your experience. I just started my first projects and wow.
Love that technique with the loops. Thank you for sharing your process, I so want to go and drag my loom out of hibernation now,
What are you waiting for??
I love the loops - clearly Luther agrees with me lol. I'm putting one of these on my 'to try' list, thankyou for sharing 😘
I think Luther (Luthor?) wants it for a yoga mat. It's beautiful, either way. I actually love the variegated green. Thanks for spreading the message that great things can come from what we might think of as failures. :)
Love it!!
Beautiful work as always!
Thank you so much 😀
Ive only just learnt to drop spindle and bought a spinning wheel but its at my sisters so not sure when Ill venture to a loom? Maybe a few years haha. I love the bath mat!! The amount of time and effort that has gone into it is amazing! X
Another great project for me. Thanks Trish!
Thank you! 😊
I just love that you have the courage to dive in and try things knowing that you'll still be ahead because of the learning process even if it's not quite what you wanted! It's something I always try to instill in others no matter what skills they are attempting to learn, but very difficult for some people to feel comfortable doing. I feel it's such a great attitude to cultivate; and, it turned out to be a very lovely mat. Kudos!
You can do no wrong on my book Trish! Thank you for sharing. We love you!
This is a cool rug technic that I’m going to try. I have tons of Sugar and Cream.
I love the bathmat, and your takeaways from this project were helpful too. Blessings.
Glad it was helpful!
I love this bath mat. It looks great. I am a beginner and still learning on scarves. I will learn dish towel soon and would love to learn to do table runners and placemats. Thanks for your insightful take on weaving.
This is awesome! Totally want to make a bath mat now. And I love your haircut.
Thank you! I cut it myself, so layers could show up any day 😂😂
Looks like Luther loves how your bath mat turned out. I like it too! The variegated yarn looks cool to me. I can also see how a solid color would be great too. It's fun to experiment. There's so much to learn! I am also not a good housekeeper...I love our fiber craft community!
I love it!!! Maybe not those colors but that's me. Now I have to rewatch and pay attention so I can make one! Our mat is tiny because apparently I have no frame of reference for measurements!
Beautiful! That’s an experiment I may try! You’re so right about trying something that might not work! I can be afraid to try yarn stuff, but say that about quilting all the time! I’m gonna take your advice and mine and just go for things!
I really like your technique. I may have to give it a try, if I can muster up the patience!
That is so funny! We have the same type shower you described. My husband does the same as yours I do the same as you! 😆 Unfortunately, I don't weave (yet). So it's moving the bath mat around for us right now. I love your affirmations about making mistakes. It's totally okay to make mistakes and learn. It's the only way to grow in anything we do! ❤️ And puppy is super cute trying out the new bath mat.😍
Thanks for sharing
Looks really pretty with the towels in your guest bath. Great job.
Thank you! I did think the towels looked pretty with it.
Love your attitude and spirit! The only people who never fail, are the ones that never try. And I wouldn't call it a fail anyway. I'm going to try something like that for my bath. It's turquoise, and white with lime accents. You always inspire me. I don't always follow through, but hey, that's on me -- lol!
Hi Trish, Love the bathroom mat, Great Job, Looks Awesome, and Thanks for keeping it real and letting us know it is OK to try things, always a plus, Hugs and Blessings
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this thanks trish and I think Louis loved the mat too x
It's really growing on me. He just likes having a camera pointed at him, I think 🤣
@@FiberLoveDiary lol that's cos he knows we all love him too he so cute and funny. The mat is amazing and now you know which design you want for the one in your bathroom which is cool x
I'm loving this project! I've been making towels, and looking forward to weaving some canvas like grocery bags to take with me on trips. This would be an excellent project to give a try. Totally love the texture of both of different stitches. The only thing I would consider, because our tile is slick is adding a backing of some sort. The shelf lining spongie grip liners would work well sewed on the back and you can get them in different sizes. TY Trish! 💜 💕
I love that you share your thought process - both the need and the solution. I just heard a friend say that he has so many ideas and wants to start them all...his philosophy is "if an idea is worth doing, it is worth doing wrong once or twice" (heading for getting it right). My granddaughter is like me, we think it through, jump in and adapt as we go. You are great!! The bathmat is a good project and I think that I may need one or two (not lime though)Have a great week!!!
Great idea for the hem, looks very nice ! I need to be more spontaneous, I need a bath mat , I just never thought OH I think I’ll make a bath mat today ! i have a ridged heddle, i have sugar and cream, i have a sewing machine, and I have 3 dogs for company...and the time. Love hanging out with you and getting inspired :)
I've never seen this loop method before. Very intriguing! I may have to try it!
It went really slow at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was much better
😍😍😍😍 so much love for your attitude and spirit for making. I might just have to go make a bath mat now 😁
No one gets as excited as I do about bathmats and making stuff 🤣
I learn more from my "challenge" projects than I do from my successes. It's only a complete failure if I quit and throw it away.
It is such a cool idea. Might do something similar for my not big enough for two but too big for one mat in front of shower and toilet space in my. Afterthought bathroom in my afterthought souterrain bathroom.
The doggie would appreciate your mat as a bed, it seems :)
Veramente un bel lavoro di tessitura!Complimenti per l’abbinamento dei colori👌🏻Saluti dalla🇨🇭🏞😘👋🏻💕da Chris👱🏻♀️
Grazie mille!
It’s pretty cool seeing you weave a bath mat and your finishing techniques for your hem. I actually loved the loopy part and the waves throughout it, is’t everyone so different ;).
I love that you are real and encourage us to be real! I always learn so much more from my failures and remembering that gives me the courage to try... i really like the shorter texture better too!! Thanks for another great share!!
Leuy is like it's fine. I knit a few mistake very small blankets, well I never finished cause yeah they were looking bad, my doggies decided they were perfect rugs to lie on next to the stove while I cook. They're hoping for a little yummy to drop close by. They don't like it when they go in the wash. I love watching you vids to see your pup. One of my looks really similar, just a bit bigger and fatter, but I love him. Funny thing is his name his hewbert, but we call him hewy.
Hi Trish, hope you're OK. Love the Bath Mat. It went very well with those Towels.
Luther loved it too so must be good.
Happy weaving, spinning & anything else you want to do.
Take care & stay safe.
Lots of love & big hug to Luther. Xxx
Jen xxxx ❤
He's on my lap right now 🥰
I just recently warped up my RHL after a long hiatus (while I was putting together my antique floor loom 😲) and I used my (your) amazing warping bar - YES! everyone needs one! I'm making another tool caddy for my shuttles and pick up sticks BUT my next project is placemats so I really appreciated this video. I like both of the textures you wove and it was really good to see the difference, thank you Trish! Louie is a love and so adorable, I always love seeing him on your lap no matter what project you're working on lol! And I'm like you, just do it! Learn from the process and it's all good. No matter what, I will find a use for it! Have a great weekend Trish! 💜
I'm so glad you love it! A tool caddy sounds very useful. I need to know more!
@@FiberLoveDiary I wish I could post a picture to show you! It's a double weave tube style caddy that hangs on the wall. You close the tube every few inches to create pockets to hold all of the shuttles and pick up sticks, etc., horizontally. I made my first one when I was learning RHL weaving and am now making a wider version to hold the 24" long shuttles. It's a good way to use up extra yarn and create something useful as well!
I do the same, "I wish I knew someone who could..." with household chores. Turns out, that's also me, just like how I look at sweaters and say "I could make that"🤦♀️
I made a loom out of a pallet and popsicle sticks, I use a flexible plastic drawer liner to separate my warp yarn while rolling it up, but I’m going to have to try using something lighter weight like this
Oh my word - this must’ve taken you so long Trisha! 😳 looks amazing though! 😍
It wasn't bad at all.
I even have failures too, but do learn.
Fantastic project! I'd be interested to try a thicker dowel with this method to see how high I could get the pile to go. A crochet hook or a rug hook might help to bring up the loops from underneath. Also: I'm a terrible housekeeper too! And I have a great pyrenees. OMG the hair everywhere! :) I love love love your attitude!
I tried a crochet hook and it was slower for me, but maybe it would help you. We're all different.
@@FiberLoveDiary Interesting! Sometimes fingers are just the best tools. :)
So glad I came across your video! I just got a RHL and this would be a good project. Can you tell me what shrinkage factor you experienced with the cotton material? Also, I'm better your puppy likes the nubby texture. 😊👍👍👍
I always wanna give the pup a squeese :) Hilarious...I had to go measure mine now lol, which is only 34" but I could use almost 5 feet lol. I've always liked the peaches lime color. Don't cha love those sewing clips? AND...if it doesn't turn out...you did something fun you like to do for awhile. I like both textures and how it turned out. The dog likes it :)
I love this bath mat! I am going to try to make it. How long did it take you to weave it?
Oh very cool. I was wondering which texture do you think is more absorbent? Have you made the one for your bathroom yet?
Thank you for this lovely idea! I'm making one with Maurice Brassard 16/8 cotton. Wanted something big and substantial for my bath. As I use up copious amounts of yarn, I sit wondering about the loops. Will they pull out? Will washing help them have more stability? How did your rug hold up to use and washings? Thanks!!!
Love the loop part. Wondering how much yarn that took?
The warping board is no longer available. I’m so sad. 😥. Thanks for the awesome video! Now I need a wider loom! And that warping board!
I still have them in my new shop, Paula. Just go to FiberLoveDiary.com and thanks!
This was excellent and now I want to go grab my rigid heddle loom and try this. It looks like it was super time intensive though.....how bad was it?
I will join you in the not the best housekeeper team.
There's room for you in my bad housekeeping team! 🤣
Your channel is one of my top 5 favorite! How long did it take you to weave this project with all of those loops?
It got a lot faster as I practiced, but it was a long haul. I didn't time it, but it seemed to take forever.
I have the exact same idea for a future project. I had seen pictures of loop woven items, but had not seen a "how to" video. This is great to validate my idea. Only question: What size are the knitting needles? You say they are about 8" long - but what diameter or US size. I am guessing 8's???
