    Very clear as you give the rationale for each step. It is easier to keep the steps in mind when you have the WHY of what you are doing. Thank you.

    Very clear instructions.❤ I wonder why it is called a hem stitch though. I learned this as a blanket stitch, which of course makes a lovely hem.

    what do you do if you do not discover until the end that you forgot to go around the apron bar? tia

  • @maggiepatterson7949
    @maggiepatterson7949 21 день тому

    could you pretend to have a knot in the warp and show exactly what you do? tia

  • @maggiepatterson7949
    @maggiepatterson7949 21 день тому

    please show slower...how you get the yarn over the apron bar... tia

    what length is your table...wondering how long to warp for a scarf with short twisted fringe? i want tge twisted fringe to be maybe 2" when done....not sure how long a fringe to start with to end uo with about 2" twisted?

  • @maggiepatterson7949
    @maggiepatterson7949 21 день тому

    If you have more than one warping peg, or an over the door coat-hook with several hooks...tgese are even better, imho. using one peg...some warp threads will be slightly longer (especially if you have a wider loom and are making a wider warp...because the strands coming into the one peg from tge sides will be slightly longer than those closer to the middle.

    Thank you so much for this video! You are my constant companion every time I warp my loom, even though, thanks to you, I have a pretty good handle on it now. I just find it reassuring to have your calm, helpful instruction on hand. And, the tips you provide are just excellent. Thank you!

    Love this tutorial. I’m a brand new weaver and your warping tutorial really finally gave me the confidence to try it. I noticed you didn’t use waste yarn to begin weaving?

    It wasn’t until the last remarks when you said you were from ns that I realized I’ve been in your shop and purchased a heddle reed from you last year! It’s a lovely shop and I’m glad to discover your videos!!!

    I really enjoyed your tutorial. I'm not clear on the first part of getting the yarn around the apron bar. Are you looping the yarn every other pass? One over the bar, the next time under the bar? Thank you!

  • @kaybussjaeger567
    @kaybussjaeger567 5 місяців тому

    Agree that this is so thorough. My question is can the loom sit on n table when weaving instead of in lap?

  • @NaturalWorld253
    @NaturalWorld253 6 місяців тому

    I warp mine the same except the bowl with the yarn I place on a chair by the back of the loom, so the bowl, the loom, and the warping peg are pretty much all in line with each other.

    Thank you! I’ve really enjoyed your videos. I have a loom that’s been sitting in its unopened box for a year or so, and each time I watch you warp your loom, I feel a little more emboldened to give weaving a try.

    I have a 25" rigid heddle loom but it's hard to manage (I don't have a place to just set it up) and all I really want to do is make scarves. I was thinking about the Cricket but wanted to see it being used. Your demonstration gave me enough information to make my decision. I just placed the order. :)
