That is very pretty. I just bought the little one last week.just got it yesterday. Thanks for the video. You explained it very well.now I understand how it works. You are the very best teacher that I have seen.
Thanks so much for this awesome video...very clear and helpful information...love your colorful scarf...🤗 I’m waiting for my first Inkle loom to arrive, can’t wait to get busy making things...🤗❤️🇨🇦👍🏻
Taking my first class on Oct 31 and the teacher suggested I look on you tube before class. This was excellent and I'm soooo excited to learn and start a project. Thank you so much..
good morning sir. thank you so much for this video I had forgotten where to place the threads to secure them. I purchased some single ply strong yarn from Turkish spinners many years ago and have been wondering how to use it. So through your instruction I am going to weave some bands for my dogs bed to help support her. It is a bed made with a metal frame and canvas that sags in the middle when she hops on it so me thinks!!! that these bands stitched with linen thread under the frame will give her support.hurrah!
Thank you for your effort in making this video. It is much clearer than the videos provided by actual sellers. I have the book mentioned in the comments below so I will see if my husband is willing to make one for me. I was thinking of weaving some tote bags for future gifts and thought maybe this would make great handles.
Lovely work Andy and I must say you have got to be a master at weaving. I so admire your beautiful work and sorry I haven't been around lately, my dad was in the hospital and had to have his leg amputated. Been a long road, but things are looking up. Praying y'all have a very Happy New Year, take care and God Bless!
Andy, you're the man! I'm not nearly patient enough to take up weaving. I admire the way you alternated the gorgeous colors. The red, green and yellow are (literally) outstanding colors! When you say "advance the warp," I can't help thinking of Captain Kirk shouting out that order. When you say, "twisted fringe," I think you're speaking of me! LOL! In the end, the scarf was absolutely beautiful! You did a wonderful job! Congratulations on your achievement! Your time at weaving school was well spent my friend!
Thanks a lot John, I do so enjoy creating new designs. Although I may be the one on the far twisted fringe of reality to spend my hours doing things like this, maybe I'm even the one who is warped. But it is so much fun playing with the colors.
Thank you so much for this, it was so helpful, you helped me figure out what I was planning for my first inkle loom project. I'm going to be making a matching strap for a bag that I am going to weave for a friend for the holidays. Once again thank you so very much.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video! I do some beading and am looking into learning weaving and eventually merging the two. Thanks for your dedication to your viewers.
thank you so much for sharing this, I have really learned a lot by watching your videos because you take so much time showing how it is done. love it again ty
What a pretty scarf! I love the little twisty machine you used at the end! I'm almost done with an afghan and I think I'll use that technique on the ends.
I did a separate video last summer on "twisted fringe" , I recommend spending the $15 to $20 to buy one of these devices. Yarn barn of Kansas, or the Woolery (both on line) sell them. Hope your afghan turns out wonderfully, would love to see a video or picture of it when it is done.
Thanks Andy! I will look around and see if I can find some plans. Got a spindle wheel about 3 weeks ago. Also called a walking wheel. Big drive wheel. The peice is in beautiful condiiton. Going to work on it this weekend. Take care and weave on!
It just makes so much more sense to put the inkle loom on its side when you are warping it! PS. I think you are weaving a wide Crios. Except they would often use a differrent colour weft, to have the dots along the side of the belt. They are very comfortable to wear, and very Irish.
Great job. I like watching your videos. I learn a lot from them. I am a new weaver and starting out with a homemade inkle loom. Can you post a video on common mistakes on the inkle and how to fix them?
Hi Andy! You’re fantastic! Your homemade inkle loom is way better than the commercial brands being sold. I want to learn how to weave on one but one of the major things I’ve noticed is they can’t really make anything wider than 2” and yet you can make something much wider. Where did you find the plans to make yours? I’ve searched and I may not be tech savvy enough to find something to suit what I want to make. I admit I’m no carpenter and will most likely have to bribe someone to make it for me but at least I think I would have something more to my liking. Can you help? Thanks again for sharing your love for all things woven with love!
Love the video, very informative, thanks much. I'm looking for the little rope maker you use with the alligator clips.I could only find a low cost one with hooks. Did you add the alligators?
the fringe twister is made by LeClerc of Canada, I bought it from Yarn Barn of Kansas. You can order from them online. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks, very informative. Few questions - do you like this type of tension bar verses the round dowel type? It seems the scarf is dense and may not drape well - how is it for drape? I like your color combinations. Also, the pegs on the end for holding your threads until ready to tie off is a great idea.
I do like the bar versus dowel for tensioning, as I can turn it and get just a little bit tighter tension. You are correct that these don't drape as well, that is partly because of the inexpensive yarn that I used, and partly because I weave so tightly. I made two of these scarfs, different colors, only showed one in video. The young ladies to whom I gave them were very happy with them, although I believe they will use them as sashes tied around their waists when wearing 18th century re-enacting garments, in which case the drape will not be much of an issue. Thanks for watching, and commenting.
Great video! I don't suppose you have plans for your loom (or plan on dedicating a video on it)? I know there are lots of designs out there but your one in particular seems well thought out.
I do have the original plans, they were published in the book "Inkle Weaving" by Helene Bress, copyright 1975 & 1990. I can not republish them because of the copyright. I found her plans good except that the upright supports were not strong enough, so I had to improve on those slightly. However, most inkle looms are very simple, and I suggest that a good wood worker should be able to make a loom without too much trouble. Good luck to you on making your own loom (or buying one if you so desire) and Happy Weaving!
I know this is an old videos, but, I just got a inkle Loom for christmas and wanted to know if the Dowling could be made a bit longer to do 5-6 inch scarves? Can you use elastics for heddles?
Thanks - No I am quite content with the shed and the length of the loom, and also the length of the warp. If you notice I put a 2nd pointy stick in to hold my shed open for the shuttle. Any longer a loom and I would have a hard time reaching to advance the warp.
It does stretch a bit, but not tooooo much. It is stronger than the dickens, I can not break one of these pieces of yarn, and I like the bright colors.
Maybe you could, but since don't crochet that is not an option for me. Besides the young lady to whom I gave this uses it as a sash when she is doing her18th century reenacting.
Barbara Rickman that was my very first loom, I made it from a loom pattern out of a book. It is about 20 years old. But of course, I modified the pattern a little too. Total cost (20 yrs ago) about $10 or $12.
The book that I used is from 1975 and out of print, amazon sells it used (if they have it at all) for $43 and up. Way to steep. The name is "Inkle Weaving" by Helene Bress, I paid 19.95 about 25 yrs ago for my copy. There are a couple videos of making inkle looms, the one by WildernessOutfitters ( th-cam.com/video/bMUxG4W4_tM/w-d-xo.html ) is a bit crude, IMHO, and the one by Maker Mauz ( th-cam.com/video/PwGaCFDHHxA/w-d-xo.html ) is in German (but does have english subtitles courtesy of Google Translate. I know that there are other patterns available on the internet, but I have not done much research on them. This web site looks pretty interesting: makezine.com/2011/09/29/how_to_build_an_inkle_loom/ or this might work pretty slick: www.illuminatedspaces.com/cts/weaving/pvcinkleloomplans.pdf My loom was from the plans in the Helene Bress book. Good Luck!
Have not seen it done this way. Very cool. The ones I have seen all use cards with 4 holes to do the shed work as you turn the cards. Would like to know how to design and warp my own designs. Is there a book you could recommend on that please?
Do Inkle looms come with longer pegs? I know you made this one yourself but 8 or 10 inch pegs could make wider scarves or even a split pair of suspenders. Did you find instructions to build your Inkle loom or just copy one from a picture?
@@curmudgeon66 whose picture is that behind you? you could use golfer's tees on the end. Opinion please....what size reed works best? 12, 16 or other and why? what is the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel? which is better? why?
@@jacibledsoe9647 the portrait is of my ancestors. Reed sick is dependent on the size of the yarn (or thread), and how many ends you want per inch. I would like to have bot 10 and 12 dent reeds.
+Sharon Zeman MAKE THEM YOURSELF!!! If you can wait a day or two I will quickly put together a video for you showing how I make heddles. All you need is some cotton twine.
+Penny Wheeler Can't post the pattern, there is none, with inkle weaving I often just pick out the colors that I have in mind and start warping the loom somewhat randomly, just remembering that I prefer some degree of symmetry in the pattern. That having been said, when I do decide to plan things out, I prefer to use the pattern generator program at this web site: www.carolingianrealm.info/PatternGenerator.php
I have tried several times to thread my inkle loom. I kept changing it to what I thought I was seeing. My problem was that I put the heddle on the bottom warp instead of the top. I feel soooo stupid. I have used this before but it has been long enough that I forgot.
I've made that mistake of putting the heddles on the wrong "layer" of threads too, but it has been a while since last I did that. Just take it easy and the more you do this, the sooner you will get to doing it consistently using the top layer for the heddles. (reminds me the line from an old Clancy Brothers song. "The older you get the sooner you'll die".)

I am a new subscriber. I have learned a lot. I would like it if you gave us your patterns in the description. I love your Christmas plates!
Very good style of weaving thank you very much for this very good video
Pattern are great colours are personal thank you for your presentation.
Great tutorial! I am new to looming and your video really help! Thanks!!!!
So weaving is looming in your future
This is so fascinating to me!!

How much the material??
How long are the pegs? I made a loom with 7 inch pegs. I hope that's big enough to make a 4 or 5 inch wide sash
I know this is an old videos, but, I just got a inkle Loom for christmas and wanted to know if the Dowling could be made a bit longer to do 5-6 inch scarves? Can you use elastics for heddles?
I would imagine so, if you are a good woodworker.

You're Welcome
Great video.
question about your loom.
Do you wish that your working area was longer for a roomier shed?
Thanks - No I am quite content with the shed and the length of the loom, and also the length of the warp. If you notice I put a 2nd pointy stick in to hold my shed open for the shuttle. Any longer a loom and I would have a hard time reaching to advance the warp.

Okay. 😊 Thank you for responding back, and so quickly.
I've been using cotton for my inkle weaving. Does the acrylic stretch much?
It does stretch a bit, but not tooooo much. It is stronger than the dickens, I can not break one of these pieces of yarn, and I like the bright colors.
You can crochet stitch two half’s together to make a wider scarf and still be about 4 feet long
Maybe you could, but since don't crochet that is not an option for me. Besides the young lady to whom I gave this uses it as a sash when she is doing her18th century reenacting.
