I had high hopes too! It's amazing how different yarns can look woven up sometimes.

Not silly at all! I had no idea either when I first started. Pickup sticks help you to create patterns other than plain weave by creating floats in either the warp or the weft. Floor looms have multiple heddles, but we can only do 2, so pickup sticks basically act like extra heddles. I hope I explained that ok! 😊

@magpieandmolly Thanks. Appreciate your explanation. Have a great day!

You know, I used to film more of the threading/warping, and I guess I've just gotten lazy. 😁 It is a great idea for me to do a video of the process in real - time, so thank you for the suggestion! In the meantime, here are some of my older videos where I show the threading. If you slow down the playback speed it helps too. ua-cam.com/video/4KQSksb9OXY/v-deo.htmlsi=3QnTtfuiDPTLVa19&t=43 ua-cam.com/video/Gr8_Bc854dI/v-deo.htmlsi=FHmolQ6C9YsVv4kc&t=51 ua-cam.com/video/1sRMSbeKMjw/v-deo.htmlsi=uce21Nn7AcX2akJL&t=52

You're very kind! 😊😊😊

You're welcome! Thank you for watching! 😊

I'm so glad it was useful for you! 🙂

I actually just bought Caron Spice Cakes, which is a #6. I've also got some Thick and Quick in my stash somewhere, I think. I've got about 5 yarns I'm trying to weave with and film so stay tuned and I'll work these in as soon as I can. 😊

Yes, I almost always hem stitch my scarves. I love how it looks, plus I think it's kind of fun to do. :) Welcome to the channel! 😊

Thank you 😊

You can do a lot with small looms - this one is 16" and once you get the hang of double weave the possibilities are endless. 😊

I'm so glad they helped!! My hope is to help others avoid cutting failed attempts off the loom like I did. 😄

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you! I thought it looked really nice too.

He does a great job with his color matches, doesn't he?

Same! It's just so hard to choose!! 😅

It is a lot of yarn for sure! 😁

You're going to love it! I have a feeling you're about to start a new obsession. 😉

Thank you!

Oh that's so sad! I'm also a knitter and one of the things I love about weaving is that it's so much faster. Granted, I do prefer knitting for small things and I LOVE doing cables etc, but big boring stockinette pieces just kill me. I'm intrigued by your idea. If you make it please let me know, I'd love to see pictures!

Thank you! I've never braided fringe, so that could be really great. You all have given me too many good suggestions - I might need to make a second one! 😄

Thank you! The finished measurement is 12 inches from shoulder to hem, and 38" across.

Oooh! I hadn't even thought of that! GREAT suggestion! I'm curious to see how that would affect the drape. 🤔

I'm starting to think that's exactly the right way to go. Thank you! ☺️

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

Thank you so much! I'm glad the videos are helpful. 😊

Thanks for chiming in! I appreciate it. ☺️

That's a very good point about blanket scarves. This yarn actually looks really pretty twisted, so I'm probably worrying for nothing. (As usual!) Thanks for the input. 😊

I like that idea. I'd like to try another one in a thinner yarn, so that would give me an opportunity to try a fringeless style. I know what you mean - I've made clothes from regular yardage, but not yet from handwovens. It's scarier but so rewarding. 😊

Thanks for the heads up!

🥹🥹🥹 That's the most amazing thing to hear! I'm SO happy the videos helped you. It took me ages to figure it all out, and I was determined to help other weavers get there faster! Your comment really made my day, thank you so much for sharing. And, since I doubt the universe will come through on this one either, please accept the Hand Down Best UA-cam Comment Award! 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you, Gerry! I'm so glad you liked it. 😊

I'm glad you liked it! 😊

I honestly don't know. I finished them by soaking in wool wash, laying flat to dry, and just a gently steam to unwrinkle. I was so tired of messing with them by the time it was all done I just stuck them in my cabinet, but at some point I might get them out and see what I can do. I also had a couple people suggest using them as table runners which I think is an excellent idea! 😊

Thankfully, I haven't either! Someone in my Ravelry group had the same suggestion and I really think I'm going to try it. Nothing to lose, right?

Thank you so much 😀

You aren't kidding. I couldn't wait for it to be finished! I'm happy to hear you might try to make some bags. One of these days I want to work out a pattern for turning a scarf into a bag with minimal cutting. My list of projects keeps getting longer! 😁

I forgot to add that info to the description. I soaked it in Eucalan, laid flat to dry, then steamed with the iron.

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

I'm not even sure I'd want to sell it at a market, though I guess as long as they try it on first it would be OK. 😄

@@magpieandmolly yeah there may be some people that don’t mind it.

Maybe weaving on a more open sett would help the halo appear. I know historically some cultures would brush the fabric with combs or teasels (a type of thistle, I believe) to raise the nap. But if you don't enjoy the blend, it's not worth trying again. I like my fine wools and tend to avoid mohair, either in spinning or crochet projects.

It occurred to me later that a hat or maybe gloves would've been a better project for this yarn so it isn't too close to the skin? I can normally wear wool with no problems but this yarn just didn't agree with me. 😆

Oh that's so interesting!

Thank you! It really is beautiful. 😊

Welcome to the channel! For this yarn, I warped with one whole skein plus just a little of the second skein, and then used the rest for the weft. The warp was 56" (1.4m) and I used an 8 dent reed. ☺️

@@magpieandmolly thank you very much

I'm so happy you found the channel! Weaving is so much fun, but I felt really overwhelmed when I started, and I hope I can help other weavers figure out what they want to make. It's funny you mention thrifted yarn because one of the projects in my to-do list is a bag made of second hand yarn! Hopefully I'll get to it soon. 😁

Absolutely! It's contact@magpieandmolly.com

Thank you for the amazing compliment! To answer your question, I don't have a tried and true system yet, and tend to just wing it without planning, which isn't a great idea! I see weavers recommending a measuring tape or measured piece of yarn to make them all the same length, and I keep meaning to do that but still haven't yet. 🤦‍♀️ So what I've actually done is to hemstitch the first panel at both ends. On all the other panels I weave until I'm out of yarn and just do a few picks of scrap yarn instead of hemstitching. Then, when I'm crocheting them together, I start at the hemstitched ends, crochet until I get to the same length as the first panel, then hemstitch the new panel at the same spot. It really isn't a great system, but hey, sometimes I do things the hard way! 😆

@@magpieandmolly Thanks for the steps. Opens up my projects to Throws & Blankets now🥰

Thank you! I'm still hoping to get my hands on more Vamp! 😁

Thank you! 😃

Thank you! 😊

Glad you liked it! 😁

I was actually thinking the same thing! A Vamp pillow would be 🥰
