    That was a great video. I have a pattern for a v cowl and you explained how to do it so well. Your finished scarf is beautiful and lovely colours. Thank you 😊❤️

    oh interesting! This method creates a seamless fabric. I'd always thought V fringes utilized a kind of floating selvedge technique that resulted in a much narrower fabric width (depending on fringe length and loom width). Weaving it into itself is genius.

    The dowel/loop trick is ingenious, thank you for such an in-depth explanation for making these. I'm working on my first one- didn't want to use the good wool in case I messed it up, so using cotton and so far it was working well until I started joining warp to warp. I will keep watching this over and over to see what I'm doing wrong. Thank you so much for all your tutorials, Kari! You're a natural teacher.

    Wow, I had never seen this technique before. I am just past beginning weaving after being a crochet/knitter for a few decades. that being said I think I would find a long tunisian crochet hook very handy to pull your new "weft" through the shed, thus disturbing your warp a little less than putting your whole hand through. just a thought. really great video! something new I now have to try. edit, I didn't finish watching before I posted this, just saw similar at the end with your reed hook. LOL

    Gorgeous! And what a genius idea about using the small dowel. Thank you!
    In order to have the over/under work out correctly when bringing the warp over to become weft, do you need to be sure if you started weaving right to let, you end left to right? I’m afraid I’ll mess this up!
    Thanks for your great video!!!

    • @KariFellWeaves
      @KariFellWeaves  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I start with the tail hanging on the right, starting on a down heddle. I also finish with the tail hanging on the right (that is an up heddle). Now both of those ends are positioned to be used in the fringe. If the first warp thread on the left is a slot it all works out well. You could probably reverse things if you prefer to pull the warp ends through in the opposite direction. And don't worry about messing up. That's part of learning. I made MANY mistakes before getting it to work out correctly.

    • @KariFellWeaves
      @KariFellWeaves  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The warp is 10 inches in the reed and I leave 16” unwoven at the beginning. I weave until there is 16” left at the end before removing and re-attaching. That is approximately 60” of weaving. I have also use Celtic Raven Fibre’s sock yarn for v-cowls and it is very similar. Any yarn with a sett of 10 epi will be comparable to this. However, I have also used finer yarn with a different heddle.

    Kari ... I have just "discovered" you ... It is my lucky day! I will be trying this technique very soon. Since I live in Florida, I would prefer not to use wool. Have you tried other yarns? A fine cotton? Also, if I am understanding the concept, if I weave the initial length shorter, the loop that goes over the head should be less "voluminous"? But still needs to be long enough to go over the head ... hmmm ... Thank you ...

    • @KariFellWeaves
      @KariFellWeaves  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your kind words!
      I have woven a cotton version and also a fine acrylic version. They are both lighter and quite comfy. Weaving it shorter would probably not work well if you still want to twist it once. I have also made a v-cowl with no extra for a loop, but it tends to not sit well on the shoulders. To make it less voluminous you could try making it narrower. That would also affect the size of the diamond shaped section on the front however, making it smaller.

    • @KariFellWeaves
      @KariFellWeaves  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, I haven't hemstiched a v-cowl. Since the fringe is to be twisted or knotted, I don't feel hemstitching is necessary. Tape would still be necessary for the loose ends pre-weaving back in (hemstitching at the beginning would give an obvious seam). Hemstiching up the side and then at the very end is possible. Let me know how it turns out if you do try it!

    Hi Kari, After watching your video (at least 10 times!) and taking notes, I am almost ready to start my v cowl. I notice that you have painters tape in the beginning (after you advanced the yarn about 12 inches I think you said). Do you weave a few pics and then turn your loom over to put the painters tape on? Thank you again!

    • @KariFellWeaves
      @KariFellWeaves  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I leave at least 16 inches so there is room for fringe. Yes, I tape it after weaving a couple of inches. The tape goes on the woven part, not the loose ends. You don't need to turn the loom over to attach it, just press from above and below with your hands.

    How long do you weave the cloth before cutting off to weave in the tails...

    • @KariFellWeaves
      @KariFellWeaves  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I weave until the packing drops off the back beam and about 16 inches is left. That usually ends up being about 60 inches of weaving.

      @@JanetMorganmorgana It may be few inches longer as I use an 8 foot table to direct warp. When indirect warping, it can be even longer, as I wind 3 yards pre-dyeing. Those extra inches are part of the knots on either end, which are not included in the 16 inches. But I don't measure out woven length as I go, as I just weave until the packing drops off the back beam, so some cowls are longer than 60 inches of weaving.

      Oh, you are right! Good idea. I am just finishing another cowl and I'll video how I put it on for that one. In the meantime: arrange the V at your neckline first and smooth across front and shoulders. Then take the big loop that is behind your back, twist once and gently place over head so it lays around the front of your neck. I hope this explanation is clear.

      Kari Fell, oh thank you. Looking forward to the next video. I was just getting ready to start a wool scarf and now I think this type may be interesting to make. I have a Macomber floor loom. What size is your yarn and how many yards and width did you make this one?

      @@laura-leemurphyuta78 The warp is 8-9 feet long. It’s 96 ends of sock yarn at 10 epi. I’m not sure how it would work on a floor loom. The longer distance between the cloth beam and fell line might make it difficult to weave the beginning into the end. I plan on trying it on a floor loom in the future to check this theory.

      Kari Fell great! Thank you. I saw the utube vid from curmuggen (spelling?) and he used two threads of 10 or20 pound fishing line weighted down on both ends to use as a shelf for the end of scarf while he was weaving the yarn in to the end. The only thing I didn't like was he cut the first piece off and added to the side of the second piece instead of keeping it all as one piece.

      I used a yarn that I think has been discontinued. It's Forsell 4-ply, which was made in the UK for knitting machines. I came upon a large supply when a yarn store sold off its stock but I am almost out. I would like to find another supply of it, as I love weaving with it.

      @@theresaschaper6522 I too, am using a Samplit with not much space between the front bar and heddle. You still have to roll it on as you go so that weaving space doesn't really matter. If you are talking about the "V" part, all of the weft threads need to be woven in and that determines the size of the woven part. It will be rolled onto the front, so again, the space between front bar and heddle doesn't matter.

    hows anybody supposed to follow any of this when the only links you provide are to yourself- your store- your Facebook page- your youtube your Patreon?
    How about what freakin loom are you using maybe you could start there. How about a link to where we can find that loom for ourselves?
    How about a link to where you buy your materials?
    Or is this just all about you showing off your skills and selling your wears?
    I don't get it. I feel like I could more easily find you in real life so that I could ask you to your face where you get your materials than I could use your videos to help me get started on my own project. I mean... is that what your going for here? Im so confused. Are you using this video to help others work on their own projects or is it for you to show your own work so you can sell your own projects?
    I feel a hundred percent more confident that I could find you IRL to ask you these questions than I feel that I could find any of these materials to try this myself based solely on your videos alone and I feel really weird that I feel encouraged by these videos and subsequent links to do one and not the other.
    Maybe you could title your videos like " Kari Fell" shows you some parts of her V cowl weaving" and the description could read : This is a video showing the detail and effort made by artist Kari Fell so you can appreciate more deeply the craftsmanship that has gone into each and every Kari Fell cowl. It is not a tutorial video. You can buy Kari's excellent work- here here here etc.
    The title "weaving a v cowl" is very misleading.

    • @KariFellWeaves
      @KariFellWeaves  4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I'm sorry you have found this confusing. These instructions are not meant for a beginning weaver. It assumes you already have a loom and can set it up and weave plain weave already. If you are not at that stage, you might find a beginning rigid heddle loom class more useful. My first v-cowl videos were not meant as tutorials. As you observed, they were to show how much and what kind of work goes into the making of my items. However, many weavers then tried to weave this type of cowl for themselves and asked me many questions about how to do it. I decided to share. This specific video fills in all the details that are missing from my first videos. It is instruction for experienced weavers and I have provided it free of charge. Feel free to move along if it is not to your liking.
