Simply amazing. Weaving has a strong tradition in my family, my grandmother had the big kind of loom to make carpets and sometimes fabrics and all us kids have been taught how to use it. She passed away a few years ago and now my sister is moving in and renovating her old house. I’ve been brainstorming what to give them for housewarming present and this seems like the perfect combination of modern style, memories of my grandma and a fun new craft for me to try. Thank you for the video Wendy 💕
You sure opened ideas for me, and I never even KNEW one could do and use different knots, materials.. just a whole lot of WOW inspirations! Thanks a real LOT!!
Is it as calming to do as it is to watch? I imagine it might be quite tedious but after a long and intense day this video in it's simplicity nearly brought me to tears.
I've tried watching this many times, but today was the first time I watched from start to finish. The other times your voice and the music were so calming that I ended up falling asleep haha! I've been trying to find some crafts I could do at home and totally forgot about my love for weaving as a child. So excited to pick it back up. As much as 2d art is more common and what I'm surrounded by working in a museum, 3d and more hands on art has always been my passion and forte. Thank you for inspiring me!!
Love your weaving! It can sure add lots of interest in anyone’s home. I spin my yarns by processing raw sheep fleeces from local sheep farms in my region. I dye the fiber and spin, ply and weave it. Carded roving and combed top is NOT raw wool. What you have been working with is prepared fiber. Raw wool and animal fiber can still be dirty, at times with poop still in it along with dirt and often plant matter. Cleaner fleeces from sheep can be purchased from sheep owners who sell to spinners and have jacketed thier sheep. I am not sure if what you have is superwash or not, but if its not superwash, you can also use the prepared fiber for felting projects like scarves, pictures, and needlefelting detailed bits into or onto almost anything. Superwash wool is not feltable since it has been chemically treated to not felt or full. It is machine washable. I look forward to seeing your next tapestry weaving video! Happy weaving!
As someone who just got a loom, this really helped! I got a bunch of extra parts that I didn't understand, and while I'm still confused on one part (It looks like another part for weft thread to go through, but has no way of fitting with the loom and is much bigger with more notches), this did cover 90% of what I was confused about.
just finished my very first woven tapestry following this video's ideas and techniques and i have to say, this was the best video i could have picked to help me learn how to do this! thank you so much for posting it! i posted photos of it on instagram and facebook and used the # you asked us to use if we posted on social media, so it should be easy to find if you want to see what i created :) again, thank you!
Someone else may have said this but the trick to pulling apart wool roving is having your hands much further apart and just easing the fibres away from each other gently. Great tips for getting into weaving here! Thanks
I can’t tell you how exciting it is to see my favourite youtuber make vids on my favourite topic! As someone who makes weaving videos myself, I always find it a shame that there aren’t more people sharing this craft on youtube. loved the calming way you edited this and how easy-to-follow it was (not to mention how beautiful the finished product turned out!). I think beginners can find the process intimidating, but this made it seem so much more accessible. excited to see what you create next! ❣️
You inspired me to make my first wall hanging! I didn’t have a loom, so I made one myself with a canvas and teeny, tiny nails! I love how it looks in my bedroom and how it sparks my creativity
Omg ur adorable. Ur so chill and boho chic. I love it. And thanks for video. I'm a super newbie...like I literally wrapped a frame and have 5 rows, so everything is helpful.. Ehh my walls are gonna be covered like weave wallpaper, in no time. Lol.
I like the way you finished the warp threads. I will try it on my Rigid Heddle looms. I think it will have a better look than the way some instructions finish!
Me, two years later, waiting patiently for my local yarn store to open so I can ask if they have all the materials I’d need for this. Beautiful tutorial girl, als always ❤️
I was really inspired by this! I inherited a weaving frame from my grandmother. It is metal and has a stand and everything. I'll have to go get it now! In school, we did this a lot, on smaller frames. We had smaller versions of the rulerlike stick you are using, and used them as shuttles, wrapping the yarn on them, in the ending fork shape, and weaving with that, not by hand as you are doing here. I'm not sure if the one I have includes the shuttle. Anyways, thanks for an incredibly inspiring and relaxing video! (If any terms or the sentences are weird it is because I'm Norwegian and trying my best.)
Your video has inspired me to try weaving! I was wondering if you could please tell me where you got your loom from? It looks like it’s pretty portable and I like that it comes apart like that!
I'm going to try this sometime soon. I've recently become fond of weavings by Morgan Satterfield. She has a site called Camp Provisions where you gather a little inspiration if needed. :)
I really enjoyed watching your video, thank you for sharing. What a great job! I have a question, what do you call that fluffy yarn and where can we get it?
Oh great now I want to make a tapestry😂❤️ I loved this whole video and the aesthetics of it, thank you for sharing these skills with us!❤️new summer project
Hey wendy, first of all nice video, I loved it, as I started weaving too. How do you hide the last peace of the chunky wool? As it is not as easy as with the yarn. I would love to know too, how you exactly do the uneven rows which you showed in the end of the video (the other wall hanging) could you explain how you do it? As I think it’s easy to make normal rows but not the curvy ones if you know what I mean :)
I enjoyed watching your tutorial, thank you , I’m very relaxed, I will take my loom out and work , I do hope you could stop that annoying music in the background.
I like to use branches and sticks from trees. I have a birch branch waiting for a tapestry right now. I've seen large dowels at the craft store you could use. If you like the copper rod from the previous video a home improvement store would have that.
Thank you for requesting this, I hope you enjoy!!! Some of you have already been DM-ing me photos of your tapestries so please do keep em coming I love to see your creativity! (and don't forget to use #madewithwendy so I can find it)
I'd love to give more information from a Navajo perspective where tapestries/rugs are common to weave! I'm currently working on a sunset with a cactus. It's interesting to view this in a diff view. Thanks!
My great grandma used to do rugs from old worn out textiles and the method is basically the same as in tapestry weaving, it's just done in this huge loom machine (kangaspuut where I live) that allows you to push the wefts really tightly and strongly together and it swaps out which warps are up and down so you don't have to pic them up one by one. The same system can be used to make woven fabrics (hence "kangas") which my great grandma also used to do, she made a local historical costume for herself entirely from scratch. I don't remember if my great grandfather made the loom system or not but it's usually made from wood ("puu", plural "puut")
@@hotjanuary that's a whole other type of weaving! we have that too and it's mostly used to make decorative trims. Apparently this one's called either a floor loom or a rug loom
Since you've made the first weaving video, I've wanted to pick it up for myself. And now I've got the perfect incentive to use my tools! Love your videos so much ❤❤❤
Honestly I haven't gone looking for any info on that yet, that's a good point! I imagine there may be some relief with a lint roller, as long as it's not so sticky that it tugs on the threads?
If it is well made you can air it by shaking and hitting it with a carpet-beater. I would also consider a vacuum cleaner on lowest setting. These are the ways i take care of my heirloom tapestry. And here in Finland people also throw their tapestries and carpets into the snow at wintertime :) The below zero temperatures disinfect the fibres and the snow gently washes out dirt particles without getting the textile wet. Not to mention the fresh smell textiles have after a snow bath!
Thank you thank you thank you! I purchased a loom as well as two highly rated books on loom weaving, but I just don't learn this sort of thing well through books: I have to SEE it being done and explained (and no courses are being offered locally). I've spent two days on failed hangings, and learned more watching this video than I did agonizing over books. You rock!
I'm here because of thesorrygirls. This was so relaxing to watch, I needed that ! I enjoyed it, will try this one day 🌸

Amazing job I love your music and your personality I am crocheting while I'm watching this might be my new addiction thank you
On a particularly stressful day I stumbled across this video and it was just what I needed ❤️ Thank you!
You inspired me to make my first wall hanging! I didn’t have a loom, so I made one myself with a canvas and teeny, tiny nails! I love how it looks in my bedroom and how it sparks my creativity
It's so freeing! You just throw on whatever you like and things are relatively reversible - I love it so much!!
What yarn is she using is it wool or any thing else? What did you use?
Omg ur adorable. Ur so chill and boho chic. I love it. And thanks for video. I'm a super newbie...like I literally wrapped a frame and have 5 rows, so everything is helpful.. Ehh my walls are gonna be covered like weave wallpaper, in no time. Lol.

Hi Wendy! So happy I stumbled on your video. What size is your wooden weaving loom?
5:50 *peaceful music* “...And a fire alarm going off in my building 😊”
Genial. Lindo trabajo...
Very nice. Thank you!
Loved your video and I followed many of your ideas. What do you use on the wall? A hook or nails?
Best video ever!
Loved your transformed murphy bed :) I didnt know about your work until I saw you on Alexandras channel. I really liked your video. Kisses!
Thank you! Great video
Can you make more off these video’s because you are great in explaining things Please make more greetings from Holland linda
Que belleza me encantó , los tonos que utilisastes son bellísimos y delicados

Need to know where that gorgeous sweater is from it looks like a dreamy hand knit
i watched this with headphones on and i swear there's a cat purring... i noticed it around 9:00 and it took me a while to be sure!
These things are masterpieces!!! I want to try it to
Oh great now I want to make a tapestry😂❤️ I loved this whole video and the aesthetics of it, thank you for sharing these skills with us!❤️new summer project
Do you know anything about the Ashford starter kit,, looking for more details on that one,, as I would like to make a hanging as a b-day gift :)
Your voice is sooo soft
i probably ask my dad to take me to get some wood to make a lil loom it'd be good when I'm taking a break
Hey wendy, first of all nice video, I loved it, as I started weaving too. How do you hide the last peace of the chunky wool? As it is not as easy as with the yarn.

So is it basically a little different friendship bracelet?
I fall in love with tapestry,,,but there is no classes of tapestry in Pakistan....
How wide is the first piece of cardboard that you placed on the loom ?
can you make the rhapsody in blue
Can i do a hand tower with this tecnique something useful.
Love this 💛Also where are your earings from? ✨
Is it hard to learn the art of tapestry ? I really wanna learn, but here where I live there's no one who actually teaches it ! 🥺
Where do you buy your yarn and wool?
I enjoyed watching your tutorial, thank you , I’m very relaxed, I will take my loom out and work , I do hope you could stop that annoying music in the background.
Where can I find the Exact loom in this video?
Hi!
Why don’t you try also adding preserved flowers to it and like 2 colors would that be possible?
Hi, whats the size of the weaving frame ? :)
Hermoso!!!!❤
I'm having trouble finding the stick to hang the tapestry with!! Does anyone have any recommendations of where I can find some?
I like to use branches and sticks from trees. I have a birch branch waiting for a tapestry right now. I've seen large dowels at the craft store you could use. If you like the copper rod from the previous video a home improvement store would have that.

Hot chocolate + @withwendy videos = bliss ❤️

Can you do it with double knit yarn
I make woolen blankets for hospice could I buy a weaving machine that will use double knitting yarn
I'm not sure how one would go about acquiring one where you live but sure, double knitting yarn works too!
Your story reminds me of card weaving (aka tablet weaving). I saw them done on inkle looms.
