Amaryllis in Winter Scarf Weaving
In this video I weave a scarf using an overshot weave structure. The pattern is called "Amaryllis in Winter" and is from the Jan/Feb 2017 issue of Handwoven Magazine. The warp and tabby weft is a 60% silk/40% wool laceweight (6,400 ypp) and the pattern weft is an 8/2 100% reeled silk laceweight (2,790 ypp). I had enough warp to make 2 scarves so the second scarf uses 20/2 Wool for the pattern weft.

Weaving Overshot & The Amaryllis in Winter Scarf
Переглядів 397Місяць тому
In this video I explain how to weave overshot and the problems I ran into while trying to weave a pattern from the Jan/Feb 2017 Handwoven Magazine called "Amaryllis in Winter". The pattern is a kit from Treenway Silks and specifies a 60/4 Silk/Wool for the warp & tabby weft and 8/2 100% Reedled Silk for the pattern weft. The warp is set at 28 epi and the pattern says to weave at 22 ppi (11 ppi ...

Thanks a lot for your kind explanation. The video was easy to follow and extremely well recorded. Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching 🙏
I learned more from you than anyone i have seen! I bought a homemade floor loom which is collecting dust. Ill watch more of your videos and get some courage. Thank you so much!
I'm glad my videos have given you some confidence. If you would like some individual help in available via video chat. Just shoot me an email at grace@tangledwebsweaving.com.
I like this way of warping. While I don’t have an Ashford loom, I certainly can use this method on mine. 😊 Thank you.
Yes, you can use this method with any loom. I've even used it with a floor loom for a short warp! Thanks for watching.
Hoi Mrs, do you use Salvage with the Moroccan Tile weaving?. Where is the finished product?.
I'm not sure what you mean by do you use salvage. If you would like to purchase the napkins you can find them at tangledwebsweaving.etsy.com/listing/1749312389
@@tangledwebsweaving I mean "Floating salvage" when weaving 😊
Oh yes a floating selvedge is necessary with this pattern. Thanks for watching.
I am so sad I always miss your lives, but am grateful I can watch the replays. Thank you for the tips on how you sequence your hands in the weaving process 🧶🙏🏽💗
I'll try to give some warning next time I go live. I'm glad you found the tips helpful!
Oh my so lovely. I can't decide which I like best. Probably the green since it shows the complicated pattern better. Thanks for sharing your expertise and time.
Thank you ❤️ I think I agree that I can't decide either! I'm glad you find the videos helpful.
This was a pleasure to watch! Thanks for sharing your decision making process and your tips. The scarves are both beautiful and beautifully made!
Thank you so much. I love the way both turned out. Thanks for watching ❤️
That pattern would be great for the my porch furniture! :)
I like the way the "mistake" turned out for the pillow covers!
I like that weave and the colors you chose are striking together. I'm getting ready to start my first huck lace project...
The blue and white are a timeless combination. I just used the same color combination to weave some napkins (not huck lace). Thanks for watching.
Thanks Grace. Pretty napkins.
Thank you ❤️
How long can a project be on a tableloom? Say i wanted to weave a babywrap
A lot depends on the loom itself and the yarn used. The finer the yarn the more warp you can wind onto the back beam and the more finished cloth you can wind onto the front beam. It also depends on what type of warp separator you use. If you're using kraft paper, like I do, you can pack more on than if you use slats. And then it depends on how long the baby wrap is. I've never woven one but I understand they can be as short as 5 yards and as long as 16 yards. I think you could easily get 6-8 yards of 8/2 (or finer) yarn warped on the back beam. As an experiment you could try winding warp separator that is double the length you want to weave and seeing how much room it takes up (That should help account for the yarn that will be in between layers). I would probably only warp until 1/2 of the room is used because you're going to add another layer of yarn when you introduce the weft and wind onto the cloth beam. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Very nice video. I have no idea about this knot. Useful in tatting work.thank you.
So nice of you. Thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks Grace. I like how you used the bobbin with the spacers. Clever.
Glad you found it helpful. It's funny I went to wind the bobbin and thought hmmm it's about the same size so I gave it a try!
Thanks Grace. Elegant pattern. I do like the colored weft.
I really like this one and agree the colored weft shows it off best. Thanks for watching ❤️
Yes, cottolin is fuzzier than cotton and smoother than regular linen for the most part. Im a long line flax fiber spinner and have successfully spun thick lace weight 2 ply wet for both the single and when plying for a smooth 2 Ply that is measured at about 42 wraps per inch in thickness. I have not yet tried it on my large loom but the small sampling loom it works well without needing any sizing or wetting.
Thank you so much for the additional information. I also spin fiber and have some linen sitting in my stash that I have yet to try spinning. TBH I'm a little intimidated by it 😬 . But it would be fun to weave something like the Fishes Towels with my own hand spun linen in it! Thanks for watching.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much and thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks for sharing your learning process, Grace. It is encouraging to see your problem solving and perseverance. Look forward to seeing the next steps.
Glad you found it helpful. The scarf is coming along and should be done sometime next week. Thanks for watching.
I very much enjoyed this video. I liked how you took us through all your thinking processes. I often spend a great deal of time on mistakes and mishaps in weaving, quilting and embroidery. It’s hard not to get discouraged during these times. But I have to agree with you, I always do come out on the other side with a lot more knowledge and experience.
Glad you enjoyed it! Mistakes are always learning opportunities. Sometimes you can use someone else's knowledge to find the answer but sometimes you just need to work through it yourself. It can be discouraging but also satisfying when you figure it out. Thanks for watching!
As you were going thru changes in ppi and making it a tighter weave, the immediate words came out of my mouth: "Oh no! You'll run out of yarn for 2 scarves." You saw it coming as well. Great video. Great learning lesson. Thanks! PS. It's going to be beautiful for!
Yes I won't have enough but I had already planned something different for the 2nd scarf. I will still need to figure out if I'll have enough tabby weft but I'll probably need to order more or figure out a different structure. Thanks for watching ❤️
14:13 When you stated here that you were going to take it down to 18-19 ppi, wouldn’t that be lower than the 22 ppi the magazine and designer said it should be? Or did you mean it would be 18-19 ppi for each tabby weft and silk weft thus totaling 36-38 ppi?
I meant 18-19 ppi each. Sorry that wasn't clear. Thanks for asking for clarification and thanks for watching.
Your videos always bring me so much joy! You are a great explainer and even though the pattern was confusing I didn’t get lost within the explanation! Thank you!
So glad you find the videos helpful. The next video of me weaving the scarf should make the pattern more understandable. Thanks for watching!
I do that too, with the last bit of yarn on the tubes! Never thought of the spacers though. Thanks for the improvement!
This is the first time I've even thought of it! I didn't figure I was the first but hope others benefit from my showing the idea. And I'm glad my "improvement" was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I do not have a temple but you are showing me the value of having one on hand.
I don't normally use temples on towels ~ mostly on rugs ~ but in this case it was a quick fix for the draw in. Alternatively, I could have woven some waste yarn between the patterns, leaving lots of room at my selvedges so they would move out. Hope that helps if you don't want to get a temple! Thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks for sharing your research. Very valuable.
Glad it was helpful!
I love the effect of the alternating patterns!
Glad you liked it. It really did come out cool looking! Thanks for watching ❤️
Agree! I like this one too :-)
Thanks! It was a fun one with the 4th of July coming up. Thanks for watching ❤️
Very interesting and informative series Grace! Thanks for sharing the results.
You are so welcome!
I really liked the staggered columns and the zebra. Quite a difference between before and after wash. Thanks for the split screens
I wasn't a fan of the zebra stripes until it was wet finished. Shows the importance of completing the process before making a judgement on weave structure. I had fun with the split screen 😊. Thanks for watching ❤️
These are so attractive, well done! 👏
Thank you! High praise coming from you. You were the first weaving UA-cam channel I watched when I first started weaving ❤️ Thanks for watching.
I am so happy to see this. I am a novice Rigid Heddle weaver. However I've fallen in love with weaving and I really want to try rag rugs. Thanks for sharing your method of cutting the fabric. That is pretty ingenious
Welcome to the rabbit hole of weaving! Rag rugs might be too much for a rigid heddle loom but give it a try. The fabric cutting didn't work for me as great as I'd hoped. The best way is to use very long strips and then you have fewer joins! Thanks for warching ❤️
Sooo elegant! PS thanks for the tip on using the stiletto when sewing the hem :-)
Thank you so much. I really like how they turned out. I'm glad the tip with the sewing stiletto was helpful. Thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks for sharing your mistake and the solution
Thank you. Mistakes happen and I think we sometimes learn the most from our mistakes. Thanks for watching ❤️
Your explanations are wonderful!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.
I would appreciate a next video from here, I'm new to weaving and your video was helping me so much to start warping my table loom but now I'm stock. 😟
You might want to check out this video ua-cam.com/video/pE976x_Xovo/v-deo.html. It's on a floor loom but the concept is the same. Maybe I'll do a multi part video of the whole process on a table loom.
I’m doing very well with this knot , thanks to you. Curious as to long it would take you to tie on say 100 ?
I'm glad you found my demonstration helpful. I find tying onto an existing warp takes about the same amount of time as threading heddles. I think I can do about 100/hr. The advantage is that once you have the heddles threaded, and you know the threading is correct, you don't have the chance of mis-threading on successive warps. So it's especially useful if you have a complex threading and don't want to have to thread it again and check and double check the threading. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Thank you for sharing? What’s the size of your loom and who is the company?
You're very welcome. The loom is a 56" wide 12-shaft Bergman Countermarch. They are no longer in business and mine was made in the 1940s or 1950s. Thanks for watching.
I'm just wondering why you didn't bring the warp yarn through the heddle and then through the reed to begin with before winding around the peg. For a simple 1-2-3-4 tie up on a 4-shaft I would think we could pull the yarn through the first heddle and then the appropriate dent in the reed, skip heddle 2 and the second dent and then pull warp yarn through heddle 3 and the third dent. Then repeat this sequence across the warp threads and wind on as per your video. Then it seems like it would be easy to gently extract one of the two threads in each dent/heddle and rethread it into the neighboring heddle 2 or 4 and through the skipped dent next to the dent from which it was extracted. It would cut the threading time in half because half of the threads would already be properly positioned in the reed and heddle 1 & 3. I haven't tried this on a multi shaft loom with Texsolv heddles so I don't know if there would be some difficulty winding on when the yarn goes through the heddle. But in my head it seems like it could work, though I can see how the process might get confusing on looms with more than 4 shafts. I just got a new-to-me 4 shaft table loom so I think I'll give it a try.
That's a really interesting idea. I've never thought of doing bit that way (I don't direct warp my multishaft looms very often) but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It would be similar to warping front to back where the yarn goes through the red and heddles before being would onto the back beam. The only difference is you have 2 threads going though the red and heddles. Maybe I'll give this a try on my next project. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching.
Is that the IWeaveIt app? I have that, but I don’t use it as much as I should. Does it keep track of the treadling sequence? My loom has 4 shafts but can go up to ten.
Yes, I use the IWeaveIt for iPad app on my iPad. I really like it for designing and tracking both threading & treadling. The tracking is a separate add-on to the basic program but it's only $6.99 and well worth it for me. There are a couple other add-ons you can purchase that I may spring for now that I've gotten used to the app and know how much I like it ☺️ . Thanks for watching!
This Strickler series of vids has me aching for an 8-shaft loom even more, haha. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to find one secondhand that's within driving distance.
I completely understand shaft envy 😂 I should do a series from Anne Dixon's 4-shaft pattern book! Thanks for watching ❤️
Love this series!
I'm so glad you enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
That pattern would be lovely in 16/2
Oh it would be! I will definitely try that out.
I have done this pattern from Stricklers and I loved it. I never would have thought the pattern was wrong. Thanks, for this video i will be changing the pattern in yhe Strickler book to the true pattern
As I mention in the video the pattern in the Strickler book is wrong if you're wanting to weave Brighton Honeycomb but it's a nice looking structure and I'd weave it sometime in the future. I've made notes in my copy so I know in the future (or whoever inherets my Strickler book)!
ua-cam.com/video/wuaJ3xndZ4g/v-deo.htmlsi=whIp0RyH1v9vQyYn I find the voice control useful with IWeaveIt
Thank you for showing the effect of adding the temple.
My pleasure 😊 I don't usually use a temple on cotton towels ~ but maybe I should! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for demonstrating these different patterns out of the Strickler Book. I do like this one!!
It's been something I've wanted to do for awhile now. This one is really nice. I'll definitely use it in the future. Thanks for watching!
What type of loom are you using? Thanks for uploading this.
@@robertrobert5583 I have a Bergman 12 shaft Countermarch loom. Thanks for watching!
Interesting! I love strickler but it's always a bit of a gamble. I find the Facebook strickler group helpful too. Thanks for this.
I've found Strickler to be a good starting point. Sampling is always recommended though when trying something new. I'll check out the Strickler FB group! Thanks for watching ❤️
What size of yarn do you use for the hem?
I'm just using the 8/2 cotton. I've found the hem isn't too bulky with 8/2 cotton but if I'm using anything thicker (like 8/4 or 5/2) I'll use a thinner yarn. I don't know how these structures will shrink so that may be a problem. If the main towel shrinks more than the hem, then the hem will be wider. We'll see when I do the final wet finishing, which will be the last video in this series. Another reason to sample! Thanks for watching.
Heya … so what do I do next? Do you have a video on rest of the set up? Cheers, Jo
So this video just shows how to get the warp onto the loom. Several of my other videos show the entire warping process but this one specifically might help ua-cam.com/video/eegD3feOzxE/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching.
Clever solution for your treadles. Looks sharp too!
Thanks ~ They've already come in so handy ❤️
I like the music in this one. The pattern is very pretty, too. Btw, my name is Daren. I’m a 64 year old nana with a 4 shaft floor loom. I’m not some weirdo. lol.
Haha I would never have thought you're some weirdo just because you watch my videos 🤣. I'm glad you liked the music. It's so hard picking something that isn't offensive and goes with the mood of the video. Thanks for watching!
