As someone who is mostly here for the spinning and knitting that looks so complicated and intimidating… but also you all are enablers and I’ve gotten a second hand RHL. The only heddle that came with it is a 7.5 DPI but I’m working on my first scarf and it’s been fun seeing it come together. Can wait to pull it off and see how it turns out.
Okay, I know I've been away from my loom for months and all, but I am going to need to watch this a few more times to see the benefit of all the extra steps in warping. Grateful as per usual with your clear demonstration. I've bookmarked this to watch again!
I believe that taking the extra time to get everything set up and looking ahead for possible problems makes a big difference in how smoothly your weaving is going to go. Loved the video and will greatly need this information for the future. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this different warping method! I can see how threading the reed would help keep the threads all orderly rather than just using a raddle. But the whole unthreading and then rethreading the reed after doing the heddles makes my head want to find another way. Heddle threading is my struggle.
It's very similar to the Scandinavian way to warp ... I have a Glimåkra Julia and it's how the directions are written to warp it. The only difference I noticed was how you transfered the cross to the back of the loom ... on the Julia i only lift the lease stick nearest the reed on end and it gives a shed behind then I place the 1st stick in there then once 1st stick is removed i turn the 2nd stick on end and transfer the cross... the treads all lift up when the lease stick is raised. Hope you understand what I mean. Great video!
Loving watching your new process! The colors in these towels are off the charts!!!! I'm really looking forward to the sectional warping video! Thanks for the shout out and all you do! 🥰🥰🥰
I don’t know if I can weave something so intricate. Just finished up a simple woven shawl for my niece for Christmas. I’ve also gone down the needle felting rabbit hole. So much fun.
I watched Amy's videos a couple of months ago and it by far looked like the easiest method even if there is actually more steps than others I have watched. I can't wait to try it!! Thanks for taking us along on your journey!!
@@FiberLoveDiary you're so funny! I imagine my first several projects will be, let's just say, great learning experiences. 🤣🤣 But I will share them anyway.😉
This looks so much easier then my normal method of winding on a warp! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to go watch the woolery videos next. Super helpful!
Luckily this looks to complicated for me my, so it protects me from getting addicted to another crafting hobby 😂 But the colours are pretty, can’t wait to see the result.
Don’t tell me that... there are already too many things I like to do. I’m also a scrapbooked and card maker, so lots of mutual interests. But I don’t need this one (yet)😂
I love that you are learning new methods. I tried to learn magic loop today and yesterday and the day before yesterday and I gave up. Maybe I’ll try later on but for now I’m really a double pointed needles chick.
@@FiberLoveDiary I’m doing ok thanks but am still in hospital!! I am making slow progress but I miss home so much… I can barely remember who I really am😔 Can’t wait to get back to my wheel and loom. 😊
Love your rainbow warp, every time! Someone gifted me several wool warp braids in natural white/buff. Haven't figured out what to do with them yet, I don't have the right kind of loom for them.
This fascinated me! Maybe once we own a house again I can look at getting a floor loom. I love my RH loom, but you can do so much more with these. So cool! Thanks for sharing!
I swore I'd never get one, and warping is such a huge process that I didn't like before. Now I just call it meditation and figure it takes as long as it takes to get it right! I hope you're doing all right!
Love the rainbow dish towels so much! Your rigid heddle rainbow dish towel video inspired me to put a rigid heddle loom on my Christmas list. We’ll see if Santa comes through for me 😂
Very interesting! For now I'll be sticking to my rigid heddle. Yes, the Woolery is a fantastic resource! I participated in their summer camp and learned a lot!
@@FiberLoveDiary the summer camp was virtual! Get on their newsletter/blog - that’s how I found out about it. There was a spinning, weaving math, and felting.
It's so funny that you are finishing up some almost finished projects too! I don't know what it is about this season this year but I have felt like I need to do a sort of spring cleaning. I've been trying to finish up projects or frog them if I am not happy with them and generally just trying to do some crafting clean up. My first task was to tackle the almost done stuff that I stopped working on for whatever reason (some of them years old even!) I managed to finish up 2 so far!
For me, I think it might be thinking about the end of the year. I am not somebody that usually thinks of it as some sort of deadline or end/beginning but I do start thinking about taxes, and planning for the next year so I think it drives me to finish things up.
That was super interesting. I've never been good at warping and now I have a Saori loom and use the prewound warps. Much easier for me. Maybe when I get my cataract surgeries done I will be better. lol. Hope so. Really enjoyed this.
Oh wow! Having to slay All of those strings make me nervous so I only have a rigid heddle loom. How you did that makes it seems less complicated. Maybe I’ll consider getting a floor loom in the future when I have more space. I absolutely loved your 🌈 dish towels!
It works just fine. There are videos from Vavstuga, Swedish Weaving Studio where I learned exactly that. It does make life so much easier than using a raddle.
Those towels are going to be beautiful. I look forward to seeing them when you are done. Altho I am intrigued with the shuttle part of weaving, I doubt I could make myself do all that prep. Whenever you said you were going to sley the heddles, all I could see was “slay”. 🤣 I do enjoy the prep for preparing fiber for spinning, but just not feeling the calling for weaving prep ;p. But the things you make are so pretty!
Oh. My goodness I thought I would love to have floor loom. I think stay with rigid small loom. To hard and confusing. I would been frustrated and quit before get warp done. Love the woolery.
I have a friend who has been weaving for many years. She absolutely hates warping her big floor loom. I only have a RH and don't have room for a floor loom..... I think I watched that video from the Woolery.
I really hated it at first, but now I just figure it takes as long as it takes to do it correctly and I think of it as meditation. I don't mind as much when I end up with such a nice warp
This is fantastic and I'm so ready to try this as soon as the ergo tool from The Woolery arrives. Can I ask you something? Is this not more closer to the front-to-back process since it starts first with the reed/heddle, then back?
I knew I should have made 4 shafts. Can halfheddle sticks raise threads effectively behind 2 counterbalance shafts? I'm definitely going to find out! Nailed the color and sequence, you always do! what is your dream loom? As if, money and space are no matter.
Thanks for showing this method. I'm a fairly new weaver and I am always interested in seeing all the different ways of doing things. I used to do a similar method but I have recently tried warping back to front method that I learned from the Jane Stafford online classes. So far I like that method best but I have only done it once so we'll see. Anyway, I have the same Harrisville loom as you and I am currently making some improvements to it. I am replacing those ribbons on the back and front roller beams with texsolv cord. I was also wondering about replacing the leather cords that raise and lower the shafts with texsolv like I see you have in the video. Do you like them and do they work well? My shafts with the leather cords, chains, and hooks on the side get tangled up fairly often when I'm weaving. I also want to put texsolv on the treadles. Thanks for all your videos, I learn so much from your channel.
The Texsolv seems to work really well on the shafts and treadles. I got it used and it was set up this way. Isn't it a relief to find a way that works well for you?

I want a loom so bad but I don't have anywhere to keep one. I have to maybe get a tabletop and learn that way. thanks for the video.
I don’t know if I can weave something so intricate. Just finished up a simple woven shawl for my niece for Christmas. I’ve also gone down the needle felting rabbit hole. So much fun.

@@FiberLoveDiary you're so funny! I imagine my first several projects will be, let's just say, great learning experiences. 🤣🤣 But I will share them anyway.😉
@@elizabethernest I had to cut my first warp off and toss it, but I know you'll get it
I love being on your fiber journey with you!
Still love those colors!! It's great you found a way to do it that suits you :)
This looks so much easier then my normal method of winding on a warp! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to go watch the woolery videos next. Super helpful!
I love the rainbow colours. I also dressed my loom today
Have fun with it! I'm cutting those towels off today!

Hello,,,,, So glad to watch you warp your loom.
Thank you! 😊
I gotta get started on my loom
I love that you are learning new methods. I tried to learn magic loop today and yesterday and the day before yesterday and I gave up. Maybe I’ll try later on but for now I’m really a double pointed needles chick.
I've put in enough magic loop time to know that I'm also a dpn chick.
Super pretty love the colors
Thank you! 😊
Interesting way to warp thanks
Nice to see you weaving...love it. Love your rainbow towels...but your first towels the red once are fabulous....Keep on going we love it.
I always wondered how this was done. Bigger looms always have interested me. The process makes sense now how it all works. TY! Great job!
There are lots of other ways to do it (and I've tried some of them already) but this one has worked the best for me.
That was very satisfying, thanks Trish. I had watched Amy's video this summer, I guess, so it was nice to see that method in action.
It is kind of fun to watch when you don't have to be the one doing it, right? 😂
Thanks for sharing this tip 😊
Can’t wait to see your fabric that it will make. I don’t know if I want to move the cross two different times. Afraid to loose it off the sticks.
Wow…such a lot of work! It was a real insight into how you warp. Thank you for taking the time to share this whole process. Happy weaving! 😊
Thank you. How are you doing? Are you home yet?
@@FiberLoveDiary I’m doing ok thanks but am still in hospital!! I am making slow progress but I miss home so much… I can barely remember who I really am😔 Can’t wait to get back to my wheel and loom. 😊

That was amazing to watch. This is a truly art in progress
Also, some cussing in progress 😂
@@FiberLoveDiary It looks very technical and impressive
Looks amazing! And inspiration to get the mittens I promised to knit my family to get done so I can weave again 😊
I want to learn to weave one day. How you manage all those strings at ones blows my mind! I’ll stick to spinning and knitting for know.
Amy is AMAZING! :)
Love the rainbow dish towels so much! Your rigid heddle rainbow dish towel video inspired me to put a rigid heddle loom on my Christmas list. We’ll see if Santa comes through for me 😂
Fingers crossed! Come on, Santa!
Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to try it on my little LeClerc 4 harness table loom. I love your warp!
Thank you Hoskins!

Looks neat. It’s cool trying new things.
Wow! Amazing way to warp your loom...thinking maybe I should get out my loom and weave 😜 would be great holiday 🎁
Loving those colors! Thanks for introducing this method!
My first thought when watching you warp your floor loom? Witchcraft! Lol.
I miss my loom, maybe someday I will own one again.
Everything looks awesome, you are going to have so much fun! ❤👀❤ 👀❤
😮😳
I am really good with my RH loom for the time being. 😂 But I’m really impressed with your skills!
Wow looks let a big job, not sure if I can do this on my own.
Sometimes John helps me by cranking on the warp as I straighten it out. I just think of it as patience building 😂
Oh wow! Having to slay All of those strings make me nervous so I only have a rigid heddle loom. How you did that makes it seems less complicated. Maybe I’ll consider getting a floor loom in the future when I have more space. I absolutely loved your 🌈 dish towels!

My goal is to warp this way..someday
watched you use your fingers to smooth out the fibers.. I thought a wide tooth hair comb could replace your fingers...
I've tried one, but it's better if I can feel anything that is sagging or has a loop in it in my hands.
I knew I should have made 4 shafts. Can halfheddle sticks raise threads effectively behind 2 counterbalance shafts? I'm definitely going to find out! Nailed the color and sequence, you always do! what is your dream loom? As if, money and space are no matter.
I've not used heddle sticks, so I dunno
👍

Is it possible to do this with just the reed I have with my loom?
