Thanks for the tour ❤
Wow, you guys have a lot more space than I imagined.
Great explanation! I am used to continental style and was convinced there is only one style for everyone.
Glad you liked it! A lot of people use Continental style, but it all just depends on what's comfortable for you.
Informative! It would be nice to know what shuttles work best for different loom types. I have two rigid heddle looms, I’ve read boat shuttles can also be used with them, so was kind of disappointed there wasn’t more info on that.
Im a beginner and so far English feels more natural to me.
If something feels natural, that's the right one to use!
This is very helpful as I purchased an 8 shaft table loom and wasn't sure which shuttle to get. Just checked out your website and put in an order for a couple boats and some bobbins. Cheers!
I love this store and dream of visiting it one day. In the meantime I will keep ordering.
We hope you make it our way!
Thanks for this video. Super interesting!!
Fun to see! Yarn Barn always fills and ships orders SO FAST! ❤
We also love saying that nearly everyone in the store touches your orders to make sure it's tripled checked and packed with care so you get exactly what you need for your projects.
Thanks!
I'm debating between a big warping board or just using the smaller clamps for my table loom, so this was very helpful! Thank you!
That's great to hear!
I've been trying to figure out which kinds of winders spin the bobbin fastest, so this video was SO helpful! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for such an in-depth look at shuttles. Just starting my weaving journey and appreciate you sharing. Debs from Down Under
We love hearing that! Please don't hesitate to keep us updated on your journey!
I have two of the end-delivery shuttles I came across somewhere; I think they were thrown in for free with a used loom. They look antique to my uneducated eye, and I never thought much about it. Thank you for this video! I can see how they might offer something different than my 'standard' shuttles.
Thanks! Very helpful 😊
Nice overview, thanks! A weaver can never have too many shuttle options! 😊
Hi Melissa! Just found these-very cool. Great instructor!
We're pretty lucky to have her!
The Pirn shuttle I would think would be adding a lot of twist to the yarn as it comes off the end. Does this ever cause problems?
Great question! Using the end feed shuttles does add or subtract a small amount of twist, depending on the direction in which you wind the pirn compared to the twist of the yarn. The amount of twist is small enough that it is unlikely to cause any trouble. I think the only time I would be concerned would be with a loosely-spun single-ply yarn. Reducing the twist further could lead to yarn that pulls apart too easily. For most plied yarns, however, you wouldn’t notice a difference. The issue isn’t confined to end feed shuttles, however. Winding a traditional bobbin from a stationary cone also adds/subtracts twist but, again, it generally doesn’t cause a problem because the amount of twist added or subtracted is small.
@@YarnBarnofKansasLawrence Ty so very much for your very detailed answer. The question came about because in Bobbin lace we work very hard to avoid adding or removing twist as we wind the bobbins so when I saw how the pirn worked it just clicked that the twist would be changed. Being relatively new to weaving I wondered if I needed to worry about it. Your answer solved that nicely for me. TY again.
@@myrany8407 no problem! We're always happy to answer questions!
Thank you for this! I was struggling to figure out how to close my loom without a second person - this technique worked perfectly.
This is a Kansas treasure and I was lucky to call it one of my lys. I bought yarn last summer on my trip to visit my daughter, I live in Dubai now and the selection is smaller for me here.
I like the flexibility in the width and in the amount of tension!
Very helpful!
Very clear explanations. Thanks!
Thank you! Beautifully explained
This is so cool, i have always wonderd how its done! How long would it take you to make a full skien, because i can imagine its so time consuming!
Hi there! It really depends on the thickness of the yarn and how quickly you spin. Thicker yarns spin faster, thinner yarns take more time.
This was a very informative video. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for very clear instructions. This would be great for placemats.
Thank you for putting these little lessons up. I am learning SO much.
You're welcome! We truly love helping our customers and fans.
I got millions $$ question! how do I fix the wrong threading yarn that is supposed to be two yarns per reed, on the 24Inch beater 10 EPI (END PER INCH) my mistake is in two places I thread one yarn only🤔. Of course, when I weave it creates a problem with the density of the fabric 🤐I feel, so stupid for not paying attention to it HELP, please 🙏🙏🙏
Wish this had gotten more attention when it came out. I've never been to your place (I live in MD) but have bought stuff online and you've been great.
This is a great reminder to keep sharing it! Thank you!
Yes, that was worth watching. Thank you!
This looks like it makes a very neat edge but we need a video in how to do this at the beginning of weaving your project.
Excellent point. Until we get that done, here's an explainer: You work twining at the beginning of the piece in the exact same way as shown in the video. You would simply twine after the header and before your first pick. You can also twine one or more rows within the weaving for interesting texture. Simply put down the shuttle, work the twining, and then resume weaving as normal.
Thank you, I am learning a lot
We love hearing that!
Great technique especially if you forget to leave extra for hemstitching.
How would you work this at the beginning. So you woul have the same finish on either end?

Will you have these at Convergence this year?
Yes, if we can! We have sold Glimakra out of their stock, but if they can get more made in time, we’ll bring them.
Interesting. I’m not clear what a temple is, though. Why do you need it? I don’t do much weaving; I knit, crochet, and spin yarn, though.
If you haven’t done a lot of weaving, you might not ever have needed a temple. It is used for keeping the fabric at a uniform width as you weave.
bad design. looks like modern. hardware should stuff into cavities and bolts should store in screwed positions.
thank you so much 😊❤
I’m live in Wichita ks and what place is this at please 🎉
We're in downtown Lawrence, KS! We actually have a lot of folks who make the drive from Wichita pretty regularly.
I NEED THIS PLACE IN MY AREA!!!
Thank you!
I always beat on an open shed, with overshot it really helps keep the two different sized threads in alignment at the edges.
The best fiber shop around! Fiber, yarn, equipment to dive into both hobby and professional work. Thank you so much for all the years of pleasure and treasures.
Thank you for the kind words!
Delightful atmosphere and excellent lighting!
