I am so excited that you have discovered weaving! I am a long-time weaver and have been dyeing my own yarns for the purpose of weaving for a few years now. At the beginning of the pandemic I discovered your channel and that was a gamechanger! I went back into your old videos and watched every single one and I never miss a new one. You have been the main influence in my dyeing journey. I have since started my own YT channel where I dye yarn and weave it into projects for both my rigid heddle and floor looms. You remain a big influence in my dye studio, so thank you, Rebecca. Happy weaving!
Sock planks make incredible weaving yarns. you can get some lovely ombres and fades. May I suggest a double blank that you dye with Wiltons violet that you dip dye/ break. then when you weave you'll end up with something akin to your colour mixing videos where each intersection of threads will give you a unique visual colour blend.
Yay, I’m so happy when I see more weavers! There are warp calculators that you can use to calculate needed yarn yardage, width, length, etc. Depending on what yarn I’m using/what I’m trying to achieve, I usually warp from the center outwards to make sure the warp is centered. I can’t wait to see your hand dyed yarn as a scarf! I love seeing the difference between a knitted scarf and a woven one with the same yarn. Great job!!!! 👏🏾
Ooo a knit swatch vs a woven one would be a fun video idea! I think my next project will not be with hand dyed yarn yet (mainly because I think I want to dye something specifically for weaving, lol. Or dip into my hand spun.)
Absolutely gorgeous!! Quick tip for new weavers & working out if you have enough yarn. Yardage divided by length of project = warp threads. So 180 (yarn length) divided by 2 (scarf length) = 90 warp threads. Personally I do a 2 metre warp length for scarves because you always lose some over all length due to the tie offs. Yes it looks like a balanced weave (equal space with the warp & weft). Warp faced means the warp shows more & weft face is means the weft shows more.
ooo this is helpful! It didn't occur to me to try to use math to figure out how wide the scarf would be... but this is something I'll try to do next time!
Love that you are weaving and I love to watch you work through the projects as you talk through them. I am new and trying to absorb all I can. Please keep sharing weaving!!!!
Hey :) Long time watcher, not a commenter. Just wanted to say I have been weaving since 2005 and you did great for your first project after mug rugs :) I can't wait to see your next one. The sides will always pull in while weaving - thats normal and not a fault. You'll know if you start pulling way too tight on the sides because it will buckle. The tension issues will mostly be resolved when you try again and dont have to fix the direction (cause you did front to back instead of back to front). There's a lashed tie on that is excellent for sorting any remaining tension issues. Love that you just jumped in AND That you showed your mistakes - its such a powerful teaching tool because ppl can be daunted if they cant do it perfect for the first time.
I would love to see a scarf made with some of the fav food dye colours you did in Dyepot 335, I think those purples/turquoise/teals would look INCREDIBLE all subtly blended together.
The colors look great! I have 2 rigid heddles; a 17" and a 36". You will love working on it. Enjoy. Try a colored sock yarn for the warp and weave with a black. That combo really looks awesome. God bless.
Thank you, for taking us along your weaving journey and sharing all the highs' and lows and your beautiful scarf as a reward for all your hard work to inspire us to jump right in.
I'm having so much fun sharing this journey! I know that I can be intimidated to try new things sometimes so realizing that it is okay to make mistakes is freeing. (Also starting with yarn I like but isn't the most precious to me is a nice way to start.)
I am so happy to see this vlog of your learning to weave journey inclusive of all your mistakes and discoveries, because its so encouraging to someone like me who wants to learn to weave and is intimidated by so many of the weaving tutorials online. I love the detail you're going into of your mistakes and what you've learned from them its also reminding me of doing my science degree a bit because of reports lol! that scarf looks amazing though!
Lol I know. I love some of the complex weave things I've seen but I think that I might just rather knit something.... but we'll see how far down the rabbit hole I go!
I really like the scarf colors. I was given an unwanted heddle loom and the best thing I ever did was buy a 2 week trial for $1 to the School of Sweet Georgia and took their heddle loom weaving basics course. Helped immensely.
This scarf is gorgeous! I’m not a weaver, but I think you should be able to even out the warp tension a bit by easing/adjusting the tight warp strands by pulling from the excess waste yarn at the ends. Sometimes I adjust baggy or tight stitches in knitting by gently tugging on the stitches to even out the tension. It should work for weaving as well. Great little scarf…I’m excited to see what project is next for your loom. 👍🏻🧶
I've read that some people will use hooks with weights to help if something is too loose. The bigger issue was that I had one thread too tight but that seemed to even out with wet finishing.
Love the finished scarf! I absolutely adore the color pooling from variegated yarn in woven fabrics. It always looks so unique and shows off the yarn so well. Just another reason I've had my eyes on a loom 👀 Maybe once I free up some space in my teeny little apartment 😭
The cricket is pretty small - if you disassemble it again the it really doesn't take up much space. But yes - space is a concern for me as yarn has taken over my whole house
You did a really good job, Rebecca! It's really common for new weavers to mistakenly put their warp on back to front, so don't worry about that: you fixed it really well. I wonder if you'd get less draw-in if you put a little more tension onto your warp while weaving. And the floats you showed could easily be repaired once you've taken it off the loom by weaving in a snippet of yarn in their place, then cutting out the float. I prefer to lash my warp onto the front beam, rather than tying it on directly as I find it easier to correct the tension then, so it might be worth your while trying that; and remember that if you do have tension problems with individual warp threads, you can always hang a small weight off them at the back beam (I use S hooks, you don't need much). I am sure you'll be weaving faultlessly in no time.
I had some tension issues with the warp for sure - mostly the one edge that was too tight but I think that came from having to re-tie things. I'm excited to explore more! I think with my next project I might try to correct errors with floats. (at least big ones, lol.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials If you have those tension problems again, instead of tying your warp threads directly onto the beam, tie them into little bundles (I usually tie mine up in bundles of about an inch across, according to the heddle I'm using) then tie a long length of scrap yarn to the beam, thread it through the first bundle then wrap it round the beam, and so on. It means you can adjust the tension of each bundle really easily. I find it much easier to get a good tension this way than tying on direct.
Thank you for doing this it is so helpful seeing how you deal with problems along the way. Please carry on interested to see how different heddles effect the fabric.
I'm super interested in different heddles, too! The next project is going to use DK weight yarn with the same heddle I used this time so I'm so curious to see how it turns out.
This turned out lovely, makes me want to dress my huge floor loom...someday soon. I think I spotted a little strand of Eskie hair (angel dust) on your scarf, being a human to an Eskie, I spot these things lovingly...if I ever sold my yarn I would put .01% dog in my fabric content! LOL
I might have asked my boyfriend to 3D print the parts for a rigid heddle loom, bought the needed dowels and wood stain for the 3D printed model, since your last weaving video... oups... I am so excited to start weaving, which might be my 2022 beginning of year!
I recently just wove my own scarf and its small, a bit tight on edges and I couldn't do hematite but I tried. I love the colours on your scarf and you did a great job x
Well that's a super cool contraption hahahaha. It's a beautiful cool looking scarf. I'd wear one and I don't even wear scarfs. Lol 🤣 ur video is the 2nd video iv watched today talking about bleeding yarn. Anyways, that's a cool skill to have ( using the machine ) when it makes something as pretty as that. And that scarf looks like it will stand the test of time.
Great vlog - thank you🙏😊 It’s good the way you get cracking and show your learning along the way. I was always more cautious and read a lot!😂 You ended up with a lovely balanced weave with great drape and fabulous colours! The floats are interesting - how they appear on both sides! I have many pieces with floats🙈but it’s part of weaving! Fabulous scarf - well done! You make me want to warp up!
To be fair, I did wait over a year to get started because I was nervous to try it out. But once I set up the first one I realized it is easier than I thought so I should go for it! :D
I want to learn to weave so bad! I have a strong interest in historical clothing and handmade stuff, my spinning could actually make fabric instead of sweaters this way!
This is exactly how I picture it will be for me the first time I try setting up a rigid heddle loom. No, I will not learn from your mistakes. But I will take comfort from them!
I have a running project of growing and spinning flax and might want to dye it this spring! If you feel like it would you experiment with linnen or cotton? And yes! Continue the vlogs and project updates, love them🥰
For weaving or spinning or dyeing? lol. I always want to do more cotton dyeing videos. I hate the washing stage, that is the thing that keeps me from it the most. I'd also like to weave with cotton and linen and everything.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials I'd like to see both dying and weaving, I think linnen would be very nice for a summer item. my plan is an tea towel nice and simple
This scarf is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I found a booth selling rigid heddle looms at our local Christkindl market this year. One almost came home with me! I really can't justify spending that much on myself 2 weeks before Christmas. I did buy some beautiful locally sourced alpaca yarn though😁
It's REALLY pretty!!! The process once you get going seems relaxing... I don't think I could weave.... Just the thought of trimming & discarding the ends makes me cringe.....I'm one that uses every inch I can... 😂🤣😂🤣 But you could do some decorative knotting the base of the fringe...adds an itty bit to the length..
I haven't been able to toss the ends myself. Lol. I don't know what I need a few inches of yarn for, but maybe it will come in handy someday. (oh man I'm a hoarder.)
Nice scarf, terrifick colors! Instead of wooden sticks you may use protective cardboard or a thick fabric. (Sorry for bad english, not my native language.)
Love it! It turned out beautifully and the small "not perfect" spots just give it character. I'm not naming any names, but someone I know has a small loom saved in their cart on the 'zon. LOL! 🙋 I'm going to have to place the order if I keep watching your progress and projects. Your scarf worked up so quickly...and weaving just seems very "zen." 😆
What a beautiful scarf! By the way there are some formulas to dertermine how much yarn you need for warp and weft. I bet there will be a lot more weaving in the future on this channel
Hi. I've also finished my 3rd weaving project, but I went for an Ashford 32 inch rigid heddle loom, and I've got to say the instruction booklet with it was great. Check out Kelly Casanova, she has a ton of weaving videos, including how to work out sett (what size heddle to use for different yarns) and how to work out how much yarn is needed to warp. You can also fix floats before wet finishing! I find hem stitching very satisfying. Can you tell how excited I am to have found weaving?
My PJ's? Hanna Andersson! I love their pajamas. I think the rainbow set came out around Valentine's day last year? So maybe in the new year they'll have something similar again.
21:08 "Am I making a mistake?" No! Crafts are all about being creative and trying new things. If something doesn't come out right (subjectively), you learn from the mistakes and carry it with on your next try! I say do it! Heck, try fingering weight if you want to! Good luck!
Even a superwash one? This is great, thanks! I only read one thing that I should use hot water and try to felt it a bit so I'm still learning for sure.
Yes that's why you got some bleeding and some shrinking. You still got a nice finish though. Great job with you second project. Look forward to see what else you do in the future.

I'm living vicariously through you right now saving up for my own loom, I can't wait for the first dying to weave video
Me too! I have some more knit crate yarn I want to try out before I decide what I want to dye.

"I don't have any plans beyond plain weave on my rigid heddle loom" is basically what I said before I bought a floor loom. :)
Lol I know. I love some of the complex weave things I've seen but I think that I might just rather knit something.... but we'll see how far down the rabbit hole I go!
You are fearless in your experimentation! Great scarf. I am reinspired to play more and worry less.
I worry a ton about things, lol. But I was very proud that I just went for this project and didn't overthink it. I'm inspired to try more.
It's beautiful colours sing. Stylish I see a black jumper as backdrop to these colours.
it would look AMAZING on black!
I wished for a rigid heddle loom for christmas... trying to learn something new.
The yarn is so beautiful on the scarf! 🥰

Kelly Casanova has a YT post on fixing skipped weaves after the work is off the loom…. What a boon that was to discover. Your scarf is very nice
I just watched a little video on how to do it - I'm not sure if it is KC's method or not, though.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials those little mishaps you shared….. I’ve done the same thing… the struggle is real
Your edges look great... once you wash and block it will straighten out more. Love the colors!
That curve did straighten out a fair amount. My 5 yo claimed the scarf and loves it!
First time for everything, I am glad you got to do this 🙌
Thank you so much!!
Ok the way the yarn looks woven is beautiful! It really does look like plaid. I love it.
