Finally! A video that shows how and why the cards work ! Thank you! I was getting dizzy trying to figure it out based on several other videos. Once you see the “why” this works the “how” to work it and the pattern construction makes sense!!! Bravo!
So I put the last part through Google translate and this is what I got: hur vrida korten= How to turn the cards Bara Vrida Fran= Just turn forward Bara Vrida Mot= Just turn against (back) 4 forward, 4 back 8 forward, 8 back So turn the cards all in the same direction, you get the chevron pattern, 4 forward, 4 back gets the diamonds, and 8 forwards and 8 back gets the "X" pattern. Thanks for the video, this is really great!
Thanks for translating! I feel like as a total beginner this sort of weaving looks like absolute magic to me but this video definitely broke it down into understandable steps. It's kinda magic in my opinion and now I must try it 🤣
This tutorial is so easy to follow even without knowing Swedish, thank you!

Thank you to Webster Billingham, used your comment for the translations for 6:52-7:08
Wow, even without knowing the language you did such a FANTASTIC job of showing us what you were doing and I was able to completely understand EVERYTHING.
I saw Tablet Weaving mentioned on a facebook group and had to know what it was about: unfortunately now I want to do this... I need another hobby like I need another hole in my head but This makes it look totally doable. THANK YOU.
After wanting for years to try tablet weaving, I've ordered a kit from a company in Latvia that's on Etsy. Some patterns are easier than others to learn, and the company has high ratings. I am SO looking forward to it.
This is the best tutorial I have found for tablet weaving! Even though I had to run the dialogue through a translator I didn't actually need it as the visuals were perfect. I've spent hours trying to do this on a loom and just could not get my head around it - very frustrating - but this has worked perfectly on first try! Thank you so much for sharing.
You know, I have been looking at several videos over the past few years trying to figure out how to do this. How to read the pattern and how to turn the cards. You have finally explained it in a very clear way.. Thank you!! Much appreciated!!
Thank you very much for this explanation. I searched a lot for someone to teach me like this in my town, but I did not find and learned it from you. Thank you again from Morocco.🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Very very good. I have bought a tablet weaving book with cards 10 years ago, but I never have use it, because it seemed to be complicated. But now I will try it. Many thanks.
Very clear instructions, thank you. However, due to health reasons I cannot do this method, as it very quickly gives me a serious backache. Also I tend to move about quite a bit, so I always keep my tablet weaving on some kind of frame. I was very much intrigued by the pattern, so easy and yet very clever with its variety of woven patterns, just the thing needed to inspire someone setting out with the craft which has such old roots going back at least 3000 years. Thankfully it has survived to this day and finds new craft people still. Thank you again.
@Irenitele thank you, yes I have actually built myself a table loom since I commented originally, the type some people call skateboard loom. Very simple but also effective, but a little bit cumbersome. Yet it is more traditional than my preferred loom for tablets, a large-ish Inkle Loom, where the angled area for the weaving process is so easily accessed. As I have quite fallen in love with tablet weaving, I am considering a larger custom-built Inkle Loom for longer lengths of braid, as I can only produce approx 2 1/2 yards of braid at the most. However, for any public weaving I use the skateboard loom, especially if I am dressed in an early mediaeval outfit, where the Inkle Loom would look out of place, but where I can show off the actual use of the braids on garments.
I wish my art teacher tried to teach me this when I was older, I remember she tried to teach us back in 4th grade and no one caught onto it, I just so happen to see one of the cards on google and immediately brought back an old memory and looked this up.
Картон до конца пояса растрепается. Я в работу пустила старые банковские пластиковые карточки, карты скидок сетевых магазинов, телефонных и транспортных компаний. Выжигаешь по углам 4 отверстия, шлифуешь и пользуйся! 🤗
I wondered the same thing! The A B C D went clockwise in the rest, but left to right on those two. It appears as though he threaded them all in a clockwise manner so I’m thinking they are all supposed to be that way.
from what i understand, at the end the video explains how you can make different designs by turning the cards in certain ways. - arrows pointing away from you: always turn the cards away from you - arrows pointing towards you: always turn the cards towards you - diamonds: turn the cards towards you four times, then away from you four times, repeat - big diamonds / alternating arrows: turn the cards towards you eight times, then away from you eight times, repeat
Lejos lo más didáctico en esta técnica.Me costó mucho llegar a esto. Muchas gracias por compartir y espero q puedas hacer más tan claros. Cómo puedo pasarlo al Inkle telar? Me encanta q no hables. A veces las palabras sobran👏👏👏👐
I put the last part through Google translate, and this is what I got: hur vrida korten= How to turn the cards Bara Vrida Fran= Just turn forward Bara Vrida Mot= Just turn against (back) 4 forward, 4 back 8 forward, 8 back
Yes. Look at the close up of the finished strap at the 10 second mark. You see that the individual strings are slanted towards the center, and that the right side and left side are facing different directions? That's what changing the direction of the threading accomplishes. If you were to reverse the threading of the cards, so that 1-4 were back to front and 5-8 were front to back, you wouldn't have continuous lines of red like this one. You'd have something closer to the "Navajo star" pattern instead of chevrons and diamonds
Why do some of your cards have ABCD then some have ABDC(only 2) was that a mistake on your part? It’s slightly confusing to the person trying to learn.
The sample pattern repeats after 4 rows. 4 strings in each card, 4 rows. What if there are more than 4 rows in a pattern repeat? What of I have a card with 4 holes but the pattern is 10 rows long?
Muy claro, demoré 6 meses en llegar a esto q muestras en unos minutos.Muchas gracias por compartir. Podría mostrar cómo poner las cartas en el Inkle telar 🙏
Still confused with the turning forward and back and then forward again. Also, Did you turn a few in the middle and then leave the rest? I do loom beading and can set everything up but once it gets to the turning, it all goes down the crapper.
So for this pattern, all the cards are turned in the same direction. A lot of more complex weavings do turn cards differently, but this one is very simple. One turn in between each pass of the shuttle. If you only turn the cards forward, you get the chevron (pointy stripes) pattern. Turning only backward makes the chevron go the opposite direction. 4 forward, 4 back gives you the diamond, and 8 forward, 8 back makes the X.
I started with 24 weaving cards, now I work with 36, 48, 60, 72, 96 nicely explained, but how do you do working in that way with 100 weaving cards? I can do it, weaving with 96 weaving cards, now trie to do it in your way ...
Does 5-8 always need to be threaded through the back of the cards like this? I've never done tablet weaving and this is the first video I've found that actually shows the initial set up.
Probably you've discovered the answer by now...anyway the threading of the card from the front or from the back is useful to create the pattern. It is usually called S-threading and Z-threading, because they resemble the letters. Trouble is, I never remember which one is which, that's why I was searching the net for a tutorial... Anyway, once you have the design ready, it's always better to have the border cards going in opposite directions, so as to give simmetry and better refine the ending results.
Not even in English and I was able to follow this clearly. Brilliant tutorial. 👍
Et moi, en français !.... :-)
I second you!👍
Yes!
Finally! A video that shows how and why the cards work ! Thank you! I was getting dizzy trying to figure it out based on several other videos. Once you see the “why” this works the “how” to work it and the pattern construction makes sense!!! Bravo!

Finally a step by step card weaving video that is easy to follow, clear, and fun to watch. Thanks a ton!!! Yours is the best by far!
This was exactly what I was looking for - short, sweet, to the point, and shows all the key steps.

You are genius! Everything is extremely clearly!!! Send love to you ❤
Only video I could find that showed the backstrap method and made sense. Thank you.
Not even in my language and the most easily understood video I’ve watched. Thank you!
You know, I have been looking at several videos over the past few years trying to figure out how to do this. How to read the pattern and how to turn the cards.
You have finally explained it in a very clear way..
Thank you!! Much appreciated!!
Although my Swedish is not very good yet, I was able to understand the written description.
Well done! This video is the clearest explanation of how to weave on cards.
Absolutely! Clear and concise.
This is SO clear (even though I don't speak the lingo) - thank you.

I went to a Viking festival yesterday that they were doing this at, and now I kind of want to spend my life doing this.
Super helpful!! Thank you so much! This is by far the best and fastest explanation of what's going on in tablet weaving!
Perfect to start , and cheap too! Thank you so much!!!😊
THE BEST INSTRUCTIONS EVER! Thank you!
Thank you for the great explanation! Now this finally makes sense! I will definetly try this as soon as I find yarn in this household🤣
Definitely the best at explaining tablet weaving thanks

you may get a table loom and use them, you don´t need to tie them to you! best of luck

OK, I have to try this now! You make it look so easy and fun
I never thought it would be that simple, just setup and twist every row 😮😮
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Greetings from Austria 👍🍃
La meilleure vidéo ! J’ai enfin compris je vais pouvoir commencer merci
Best tutorial I have ever seen !! Takk.
Kiitos ❤ love to see an explanation that I can understand. Thx a million!
finally! card weaving demystified! love it, tack sa mycket!
Great demonstration!
Woooow! You made it look easy.
Excelent tutorial. There is not more tutorials about tablet Weaving??? Please let me know. Tks
Super Tutorial! Thank you!

Wow, I just learned to tablet weave. Thank you!
Tack sa mycket! Most helpful in understanding this weaving technique.
Thank you! This was very helpful.
Amazing tutorial! Thanks!
This is a really useful video, even without understanding the captions.
Quedé muy sorprendida por el resultado final, todo muy bien explicado, ¡muchas gracias por el tutorial!
Excelente explicación, gracias por fin entiendo claramente como es el procedimiento.
I did this many years ago, but would like to try again. I like your set up, not necessary to buy abloom
This is brilliant. Thank you! Tack så mycket!
Best tutorial out there!
it is a nice plestime to watch this videa --- I'm weaving the "HOCHDORF GRAVE 2" with 65 >>>sixty and five
O melhor tutorial que ja achei. parabens.
Question, C and D are not strictly at the same place, is that on purpose? Thank you for this great vidéo. Your answer please for C/D?
Nice hands ;-)
And beautiful tutorial. (-:
NOW I understand! Thank you!
Best tutorial!!! Danke
Un tutorial estupendo, muy bien explicado. Gracias por compartir.
Great tutorial! Thank you.
great tutorial
I wish I had a leather punch sitting around, other than having to make 15 to 25 of these cards, thank you for the awesome low budget method.
A plier-type of paper punch would also work. The holes might be bigger though.
Finally I understand how to do! Thank you
Thank you so much , very easy to follow

great tutorial but quick questions were the indicators on the 5th and and third card misplaced by accident or is it intentional ?
I wondered the same thing! The A B C D went clockwise in the rest, but left to right on those two. It appears as though he threaded them all in a clockwise manner so I’m thinking they are all supposed to be that way.
Thank you for the excellent video!
Do you always turn the cards in the same direction?
from what i understand, at the end the video explains how you can make different designs by turning the cards in certain ways.
- arrows pointing away from you: always turn the cards away from you
- arrows pointing towards you: always turn the cards towards you
- diamonds: turn the cards towards you four times, then away from you four times, repeat
- big diamonds / alternating arrows: turn the cards towards you eight times, then away from you eight times, repeat
@@MoonyJuliet This is correct. I put the words at the end in Google Translate (from Swedish) and got the same results as you.
Vastly helpful, thank you!
no words needed, thank you!

Cómo puedo pasarlo al Inkle telar?
Me encanta q no hables. A veces las palabras sobran👏👏👏👐

LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Any chance you could do one with the text in English? I think i got the gist, but it would be even more ace :)
I put the last part through Google translate, and this is what I got:
hur vrida korten= How to turn the cards
Bara Vrida Fran= Just turn forward
Bara Vrida Mot= Just turn against (back)
4 forward, 4 back
8 forward, 8 back
Varför trär man korten från olika riktningar? Vad blir fel om man t.ex. bara trär korten framifrån?
thanks alot this is the vedio that Im searching for
GRacias... es genial
bravo & merci beaucoup !
Is there a specific reason the last 4were thread through the back? Would it change the design to thread them all through the front?
Yes. Look at the close up of the finished strap at the 10 second mark. You see that the individual strings are slanted towards the center, and that the right side and left side are facing different directions?

05:35
1:45 why are cards 3, 5 different from the others?
they should not be different. Card number 3,5 were made wrong in the movie.
Thx a lot! Ill try on the weekend
thank you!
What is that clip called?
Why do some of your cards have ABCD then some have ABDC(only 2) was that a mistake on your part? It’s slightly confusing to the person trying to learn.
