I love that you are so chill and not perky and so crazy talented. It's hard to explain how watching some youtube videos take energy for me to watch, but yours infuse me with calm creativity. I hope you have a great career. You have that special something.
"dang I should do this! Oh wait...I have cats"
Hahaha gotta hang it reaaaaaally high in that case!
I have cats too but just hang all my work up high.
My cat would find a way no matter how high.😅
Dogs 😢
Lol i was just thinking the same thing! I have two dogs who would love to tear this up. I was going to make two and use them as an entryway curtain but I’m having second thoughts.
I love how you use things you already have at home for your weaving - table legs, instead of a $300+ loom, etc. And your final piece looks amazing! Thanks for the great video! 👏🏻 💖 👏🏻
I was just thinking I really wanted to make one. After this I'm inspired. It's lovely.
This is stunning! My favorite is the contrast between the big braids and the little tabby stitches. Wow.
Great tutorial. You may find Saori weaving inspiring. It's similar but has the same free flow choice & full of texture. Gives you scope for all sorts of applications from clothes to floor rugs.
This is beautiful. This is art. I can’t wait to mess it up and try again and finally be happy with the result ! Thank you sooo much ! Love this
simply beautiful
Love your work, and your relaxed, positive attitude. This is totally like having the 70s back.
Wonderful work... thanks so much 👏👏👏👏👏👏
buenísimo!!!! muy clara en la demostración!!!!
impresionante ... para reciclar lanas, telas ,etc.
Wow! This is just what I've been searching for. Super presentation,great narration,and,at last someone who uses delightful background music. This is wonderful,and,I am a raw beginner to weaving. Thank you for superb video.
My grandma used to make these 😍 beautiful
Beautiful!
Great tapestry for modernity. However, Girlfriend, the music was killer. Want this soundtrack for my chill out time on the back deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
Awesome tapestry 🌻
Beautiful! I want to try
So pretty!!
You are an AMAZING teacher! Thank you!!
A great tutorial! You are a good instructor and the piece is gorgeous. Enjoyed watching your video. Thank you for your generosity.
It’s so calming! Beautiful!
So lush!
So beautiful! And your voice and music, the whole composition, is so calming and soothing
This is really neat! It's like Yarn Brutalism lol.
I wouldn't have thought of flipping my table over! I'm usually pretty good at figuring out solutions. Thanks.
WOW, Wendy is such a perfectionist when it comes to presenting, editing etc. Hope she got paid $$$$$ for all this this artistic showcase of her skills and hard work
Beautiful work!
This is just so beautiful. Inspires me to try one out
Fabulously creative.
Wow. Stunning. Thank you thank you so much for posting this.
loveeee how this came out!! do you have an estimate of how much you spent on materials for this project?
I was thinking about it too. I'd love to try it, but these kinds of yarn are very expensive, so a tapestry this size would probably cost hundreds of $.
@@dodgethis_ Check your local thrift stores. I have found a ton of thick yarns and odd bits for cheap. It would still add up, but easily under $100 total.
Hi!! Yarns can indeed add up a bit, I was in the $100 range utilizing all the Michaels coupons on I could. And if you're not picky on colour I go straight to the sale section. The nice thing about tapestry is that it is pretty friendly towards odds and ends, which also makes it possible to snag second hand yarns that were not used up in a knitting project.
withwendy Awesome!! Thank you for replying ✨✨
What a beautiful project! Your tutorial was so easy to understand! Great job!Thank you for sharing.
Love it
Beautiful! Blessings all!!!! 💜💜
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
this is absolutely stunning !!!!!
Hi, first of all it is absolutely beautiful tapestry.
Second, how do you clean it ?
Thank
I agree with Its Hope Now about a wide still shot. But it is beautiful.
This is EXACTLY what I needed. I have this fun tapestry idea but I have never woven a tapestry before 🙃 now I feel like I have a plan of attack!
Gorgeous!!
Consider spraying the tapestry with a few layers of hairspray to make it a bit dirt and dust proof.
Belíssimo sueter
It's been 13years since I've made a tapestry, I might just start doing it again
Nice! How do you wash it though
so expensive to make... yard wool of that is high priced here.. to bad, this would be fun.
thank you so much for creating this video. it was rly helpful :)
I think it you were to use a crochet hook instead of a makeshift needle it might be easier😋
SO BEAUTIFUL ❣❣❣
so so beautiful!! I wish I can make this!!
Whose class did you take? Did you buy any books on weaving stitches? Looks great!
No books actually, I just took one class at the Workroom in Toronto and it gave me everything I needed! Would highly recommend
How long did this take to make????????
Absolutely gorgeous!
Really lovely - well done, but I bet the materials Yarns etc.) were very expensive?
Jenny Hughes since you’re using so many different materials you could shop the clearance yarn at your local fabric/craft store and just find complementary colors to do this
@@abbyfreeman3890 I haven't yet seen yarns on clearance but I've bought lots of good craft/art materials at vide greniers (yard sales) here in France and sometimes half price items in art shops.
Can we get crochet patterns with schemes like this ?
Crochet pattern, cross stitch motif, basket weave configuration, maybe plan own design on graph paper.
great video, your wall tapestry came out beautiful, I love all the colors and sizing you chose for this.. Hope you do another one and thanks for sharing.. shared @tisonlyme143 , also shared on Tumblr tisme143
Sub'd ....Love this so much ... BEAUTIFUL JOB ❣❣❣
Wow your hair is soo shiny. How do you do that? :)
okay but how much did all that cost
Hi!! This was about $100-$150 in supplies
HOW DO YOU CLEAN IT?
Someone mentioned vacume with out the nozzel, or run it through the dryer, will get the dust off, and not for to long
Soooo cool, I also have a cat so this won't fly at my place 😂
Would be cool if it was a map, like maybe of Westeros or Middle-Earth
Do you sell your tapestry? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Whered you get the copper rod?!
Beautiful!
Wendy is always such a darling to listen to. She is really good at making clothes.
Thank you that's so nice!! :)
This was so informative! Thanks for sharing your skills in such an approachable way :) I've been wanting to try making tapestries but always get stuck thinking I'm not following proper technique. It's nice to see someone explore the flexibility and variety of textures available when free form weaving !
I've found tapestry to be a nice level of flexibility where if you make a mistake you can often go back to correct it, or if you step back and want to change something you can, so as far as crafts go it's been a nice one to pick up!
I would appreciate more wide shots, I feel like I didn't get a chance to see the actual tapastry

Wendy thinks we should see her, instead.
Me too....
@@ankimo1957 I mean, she's teaching us how to tie everything and make the thing, so it makes sense to watch her and copy.
Wow I REALLY love how you named the techniques and even highlighted each area where you used them. I haven't seen anyone else do that. It makes it so much easier to see/plan/follow the project as a whole.
And it's SUCH a great way to avoid having to explain all the basics, but still make the project possible for beginners like me.
I'm so impressed!! Sub from me for sure ❤️
Wendy, I am new to your channel and I find this to be fabulous. I think I have a similar love to you (as I'm sure many do here) of structure and free flow art. Again, I thank you so much for this, I have forwarded it to several friends and I'll look at your other video's as well.
So great to see you doing your tapestry! I started to weave 5 minutes ago 😊after a weaving pause of 15 years at arts university.😊..so glad to see how I could use all my fabrics and yarn leftovers for a grand piece of art. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.💚👍🌷
This is beautiful. My loom just arrived yesterday and it is MUCH smaller but still I would like to know if you can reccomend some places to buy these bigger yarns. I'm brand new to this, so any help would really be appreciated. Thank you for your video.
Did you figure out how to clean it? I don't have a vacuum cleaner or dryer. Could you just hose it down and air dry it?
Beautiful!!!! It turned out looking almost like a landscape with a sunset! That’s what I see :))
beautifully made and detailed video, very calming as well. definetly a calm way of introducing tapestery haha. tried first few weaves recently and could feel the stress leaving - cant wait to try more!
Wow- so awesome!! I have 3 long rectangular painting canvases, and I plan to use that as a loom, I already made a small woven piece on a 8x10 frame (my first weave), but I've been wanting to make very large one's like yours- I'm so glad I found your video, blessings from NYC!! 😄💗🌷
Its so pretty but yarn is expensive. That must have cost hundreds to make
But the large one costs thousands on Etsy
I would die for a jacket made out of this. 😍😍🔥
That would be so fun to create AND to wear! 🔥
Great video, super interesting project, very inspiring and everything explained clearly! Good job! In my opinion it was very professionally made 😊👍
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! You are truly gifted Miss Wendy! It's SO mid century mod! I think so anyway. Your instructions are so easy to understand and you're so calm and relaxed about it all! Hope you sell/begin to sell these, your patience to make these and talent could be so beneficial! x
Tabby Weave for flat area,Pile Weave,Soumak, and rya knot for fringe, cool!
Can you share sites where we can purchase yarn or what types of yarn to use? Thanks!
Would like to know too 😕
I found out about your videos while i was watching home decor videos and one of the videos of Alexandra 😱 and it is now 1 am here in NY and i can’t stop going over all your videos.. loved all of them....
Is there a list of all the yarns/string used?
Wow, you're an excellent teacher and artist! I love this piece, love the yellows throughout (sweater, nails, fabric). My guess is that's a couple hundred dollars worth of yarn though. :)
I'm a weaver, and I liked your wall hanging, don't worry about it getting dirty, you can either run the vacuum cleaner hose (no nossel), or take it off the rod and put it through the drier on cool of course and that'll get any dust off it, only do it for a very short time as you don't want to felt it. Cheers!
i do crochet from time to time, and gurl let me tell you, those yarns that shes using are NOT dyer or vacuum friendly. Any yarn that sheds like that needs to be kept clean without these methods, it could ruin the original texture. That being said, a good way to ensure an easy clean up is to use a bulky t shirt yarn. You can used them online, or recycle by cutting up some old t shirts! This way nothing sheds!!
@@FeralCreatureOfIncredibleRoses oh thank you for your message, personally I've always had a good outcome using either method, obviously you need to exercise good supervision, and being very particular and gentle using the small brush head on my vacuum cleaner. Thank you. Cheers!
I would hang it outside & blow it out with a leaf blower from the backside.
As someone who works on a traditional floor loom, it’s really weird to see tapestry weaving, because you don’t advance forward or adjust the tension constantly and various other things.
curious how many hours this took! In case i want to try. thanks beautiful work!
What are the dimensions of this piece?
Podría estar en español español
Hi Wendy, I love your weaving , so creative using table legs. Can you share where you got your chunky yarn. I live in HK and can’t find it anywhere. Thanks 😁
I've wanted to start weaving for forever but I didn't know how to without a loom! This is a great idea and I love Wendy and this was posted on my birthday! Its a sign
And it only cost $500. Lol 😂 it’s lovely but that yarn is expensive and so is wool roving.
it's sooo pretty!!
also your voice is amazing, so calming to listen to
Ahhhhhh!!! I’ve been waiting for this video ever since you mentioned in the comments on the last weave video that you were doing one as big as your table!! It was worth the wait, amazing job!! 😊
Thank you!! The size of it is so satisfying, feel like I could fall asleep under it hahaha
Very beautiful, so the techniques of any tapestry by using a lot of kinds of thread? And many kinds of waving?
Instead of passing the whole ball of yarn you could cut some if it and start weaving little by little, in my opinion it’s better to cut new pieces of yarn than weaving with the whole ball, a personal recommendation. To know how much yarn you might need, measure it above the cords you’ll weave it to and take in count the rows you’ll make.
Wendy, how did you hand this up? Just set it on nails?
It’s lovely!! Thank you for sharing. I’ve done macrame for a while but weaving is calling my heart!! I’m so inspired. Can’t wait to try!!
Well done Wendy, but you didn’t teach how to get the tapestry on the dowel for hanging for beginners like me. Please can you teach that also?
Nice tapestry....but its hard to find kinds of rope like your rope's tapestry......
beautiful hands,beautiful art,you have shown 4 stitches,r these final,or more stitches can be done in this art
would have been a cool watch but this is the CBC so i'm not gonna watch it. Meh.
