    Terrific video it has helped me immensely. I hope all is well. I noticed you have not done any videos in a long time. I hope this message makes your way and that I can encourage you to do some more weaving videos. Thank you for the share.

    That trick with the knot so you can flip the strands you want in the slots is soooooo clever.

    I agree with the other commenters, this is far and away the best warping tutorial on TH-cam. You remember several important details like keepingbthe top and bottom sections seperate, and not letting the yarn pass through your hand as you roll.

    Thankyou. This is the first video I've watched where I dont feel like an idiot for being a beginner. Your instructions are clear, not condescending and you explain why you are doing things rather than just telling!

    I've watched dozens of these videos on warping. Your's makes the most sense. It's clear and to the point. Thank you.

    I could not have learned to get started on the Cricket Loom without this video! I am able to borrow the loom from my Library for a two week period. That means I have to return the loom, and start over again for another two week period. When my memory needs refreshing I turn to your videos. For now I am just doing small projects to see if I want to make the investment in my own loom someday.

    I love watching your video. It's a great tutorial and I love your instruction to keep the upper threads separated out. Your voice is very soothing and helps take the fear of warping away from us new weavers. Thank you so much. I wished you had more videos that I could just listen and enjoy learning from you!!!

    I agree with some of the other folks that left comments. You are a fabulous instructor and you made the tutorial clear enough that a newbie like myself wasn't scared to death to even try to warp my new loom. Thank you.

    After a Career of learning to do things by TH-cam videos, I have never seen a better, clearer, or better explained video.
    My wife has a 10" Cricket so we have subscribed just to refresh ourselves on how to use it.

    @nmrowdy4605 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You are an excellent teacher! Your video was so much better than the Schacht videos. Honestly, until I found your video, I was ready to tear my loom apart and return it. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so completely!

    Great teacher.. border-line hypnotic creamy voice. Your tips and tricks were Clear - precise - super neat and organized to a T. I will definitely use your video to teach my girls..

  • @catherinec7509
    @catherinec7509 5 ปีที่แล้ว +83

    This is the best warping instructions I have seen on TH-cam. I have been watching a lot of them and you are clear and give instructions in a very organized way with extra hints I have not seen anywhere else. Specifically tying only half the warp together to separate them. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us.

    • @conniebueche3989
      @conniebueche3989 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree! When she only tied half I was like... hey you didn’t tie the other group lol

    • @andreachester9915
      @andreachester9915 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @Mindy56743 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    You take the fear out of this. You have a very calming voice and you can tell that there is no stress or frustration. It is a simple job and you show it in the simplest way totally calm. Thank you so much for this. I am planning on purchasing a loom and this has been a part that has me concerned the most. I have watched many videos and this was the most informative without the negative feelings.

    @lisadrake8048 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a so called teacher. I quit before I got started. I was so jittery and nervous. I just threw away the loom she sold me. With this video. I am now going some where else buying me a loom and going to try to just t warp the loom. When I do , I found a new place to take rigid heddle loom classes.
    I talked to the teacher. She sound great. This video is great for learning. So easy. A 2 year old could do it.

  • @57Weaver
    @57Weaver ปีที่แล้ว

    Best information I have found for warping. Others assume you already know this information such as changing colors and what to do if there is a knot. Thanks.

  • @peaceofyarn
    @peaceofyarn 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Best clear, concise, step by step warping video I've seen on you tube! I'm no longer a newbie but still very novice & this method makes warping so much easier. Really? You only knot half after cutting off the peg[s]? What a game changer!

  • @kimmcmurry1777
    @kimmcmurry1777 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just drug my cricket loom out to show my 6 year old grandson how to weave on something smaller than my big one and needed a little review on how to warp it. I agree with all the other comments on this being the best instructional video I have seen on TH-cam. You have a fantastic teaching style and watching the warping from start to finish with all the tips and extra hints along the way was exactly what I needed. You are just brilliant and I will look for more videos in the future. Thanks so so much!

  • @probablymykidcommenting2711
    @probablymykidcommenting2711 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I began watching this as i was feeling unwell and migrainey, wanted something soothing. Seriously this is the best tutorial I've seen. The one thing that puts me off a table loom is knowing how to set up the warp and the technical info about yarns etc and this tutorial just perfectly explained everything.

  • @joycefranco7378
    @joycefranco7378 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I have watched hours and hours of videos before I finally ordered my loom. I waxed and assembled it yesterday. Your video is absolutely the most helpful one. Thank you so much! I’ve subscribed and hope to see more videos from you.

  • @JeannieGrayKnits
    @JeannieGrayKnits ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for this video! I just bought my loom yesterday and was completely confused by the written instructions that came with it. It took me 2 tries with your video to get the loom warped properly but because of your video, I immediately knew what the problem was on the first try. Now I'm off to see if you have any 'what to do once your loom is warped' videos. :)

    @jeanettekettlewell 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Your instructions are wonderful! I wish I had seen this video before I warped my Cricket loom the first time last week, although in the end everything worked out. I will be incorporating your techniques for my next warp. Thank you very much for creating and sharing this lesson. I'd love to come see you in Nova Scotia! 😊

  • @qwirtz4090
    @qwirtz4090 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Immensely useful video - and so calming. As a floor-loom weaver and weaving teacher, it's been my experience that the very THOUGHT of warping freaks many people out. Impossible to freak with your quiet, patient voice explaining the process and pitfalls. Thank you.

I sooooo much thank you for making this video and giving so much great advice as you warped your loom. Many, many thanks🥰

    @peggywhite5638 ปีที่แล้ว

    THANK YOU! I've read the instructions and took the online course and read the instructions and looked at the video more and and and .... Also checked out several YT videos. Everyone seems to say it's random which thread stays in the slot and which goes in the hole but I have not found that to be true and kept ending up with a shed with the heddle up but not down. Did a test run with you method and 12 threads (24) and wallah!

    @SoulfulSpinning 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    An amazing tutorial, chock full of good tips. I am awaiting my flip loom (I am assuming the process is the same) and this video will be immensely helpful. So glad to know cotton should NOT be my first project! Thank you.

  • @beautifulwake9512
    @beautifulwake9512 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is the best tutorial ever! I have started to watch other video from people which were not clear at all, wasting time with a lot of unnecessary bla bla aroung, some incredibly messy (a dirty kitchen in the backgroung, greasy hair, flip flops on dirty feet, yawning once in a while and used grocery paper bags cutted to roll the garn....) some really unclear at all. Thank you for the great video!

    • @loupgarou95
      @loupgarou95 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      How rude.....I know exactly what video you're talking about being "dirty" and it was not meant as a tutorial at all so I'm not sure why you're complaining about someone's informal vlog and judging their appearance and their recycling. Why spend effort caring about flip flops and reusing paper bags enough to leave comments lol. Instead of making rude comments about others why not just complement this poster?

    Wow! I've watched at least a dozen warping videos and this was by far the best one! Thanks so much! I've had a problem with warping tension and I think keeping the top and bottom (right/left) separate will help a lot! Thanks so much for all the other great tips, too!

    Thank you so much for this video.I am a spinner about to ‘cross to the dark side’ and start weaving and this is by far the best video...so so much better than the manufacturers own. If you could produce some more instructional videos for this loom that would be great ( avoiding wobbly edges maybe)I am in the UK and taking a class with you is obviously not an option.
