I’ve just warped up my table loom and I’m doing a super easy pattern which only requires two levels to be moved each time, so I’m starting to feel the rhythm of a floor loom and it’s so relaxing!
Solitude from the hustle and bustle of the world, rhythm of the loom imitates one's life within the threads of life and our desire. On a different outcome of life, I'm in the planning stages of designing a 24 shaft draw loom, I have no clue or choice, building it in the 2'6" weaving width, wish me luck ! I value your advice 🤓.
@@KellyCasanova thankyou Kelly, I think 🤔 I should retire full-time, and concentrate on weaving! Thankyou for all your videos and advice to all that listen 👂, Andrew from Melbourne 🤓
I noticed you don't worry about your edges like you do with the rigid heddle. Can you explain why? I know nothing about floor looming and just a bit about RHL but am curious about why.
Yes, it's a different approach. The tension on a floor loom is very good. You can shoot the boat shuttle across and the edges generally take care of themselves - depending on the weave structure, yarn etc. Different types of boat shuttles will give a different experience too, here I'm using a regular boat shuttle that feeds the yarn out of the middle, so the draw in is a little more because there is more tension on the weft as it feeds out. I have an end feed shuttle that feeds out more generously and therefore is even better for the edges. But that shuttle is busy with another project 😊
Hi Kelly, like the sound, its calming.
Hypnotic sound.
It certainly is. I could hear the birds outside as well 🥰
This is the most soothing sound. I could fall asleep easily listening to it. So relaxing. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Hi Kelly, this was a lovely video. Believe it, or not, I noticed some tips just by watching you work.
Glad it was helpful!
I waved hi when you glanced up at the camera. lol Love this! Beautiful cloth.
You were waving while I was weaving 😀
@@KellyCasanova aw, that’s good! 😂

Are you using four shafts for this pattern? I signed up for two of your classes and I was trying to see the process. Thank you.
Yes, it's a 4 shaft straight draw 😊
