I have to admit, while this video is very informative, I still find the whole mechanics confusing. For example you demonstrate that without some kind of restoring force the jacks do not return to neutral but it’s unclear to me why that’s the case. I fundamentally don’t understand why the whole heddle assembly doesn’t immediately proceed to one of its polar positions (ie, how do the jacks remain neutral) when no restoring force is applied as shown @ 2:20. Unless the torque applied on the jacks by the lower lamms is equal to the opposing torque applied on the jacks by the shafts and upper lamms, the jacks should proceed to one position or another. Perhaps the friction in the jacks’ pivot points and the pulleys are sufficient to maintain the shafts in their final position? Perhaps the jacks are uneven and have greater weight on the bottom? While I understand how the elastics and weights can return the jacks to neutral, could you explain the following to me in further detail: When no restoring force is applied (as shown in 2:20) how is it that the shafts can exist at neutral? Why don’t the shafts rapidly proceed to one of their extreme positions (fully raised, or fully lowered)? Surely the torque on the jacks is not *perfectly* balanced. Why don’t the shafts “not budge from their previous positions”.

I absolutely do not understnad any of tis, I'm currently in a longrunning argument with my small and simple rigid heddle. I hope one day I'll be able to figure this out! I want to get a bigger loom eventually.

Could I use the Julia 8 shaft countermarch loom as a four shaft counter balance loom. Thank you

I finally had a good opportunity to try this! Thanks so much. Though I must say a narrow warp on a very wide loom made me wish I had some extra hands, but I managed! Hooray! Now I can full my deflected double weave sampler to get a preview of how the scarves I will weave on the rest of the warp will turn out.

I am so with you on counterweights for all drawlooms. I would go even further to say counterweights for all shafts (not just 6) for all countermarch looms. I just finished a huck sampler on my 8S Ideal (horizontal countermarch) and made good use of the buttonhole elastic "shaft bras" on two of the shafts. I would have preferred to have had counterweights, because for one thing I also had one rising shaft. And I completely agree that it would be preferable to have proper weights for the setup rather than sandbags.

This was an interesting video. Thanks. I have weights on my single unit horizontal countermarch loom. However for some reason the shafts don’t snap back. They used to but I took my drawloom attachment down to weave a rug. Now I’ve put the attachment back and the shafts don’t do what they used to. I don’t know what I did wrong.

Wow. Very well presented. Easy to understand. Thank you transmitting your knowledge.

Ah, superb two minutes of action (give or take) for the experienced and knowledgeable cognoscenti, a long weekend for mere, feet on the ground, mortals. I guess it was anticipation of future work flow improvement that sped things up giving feet the spring and hands the flexibility.

Great video, in particular as i have struggled with this. One question--if you have the option to put elastics on your lamms or on the shafts, why do you prefer putting elastics on the lamms? I haven't tried that yet. Also, i've seen pictures of looms with the counterweights--thanks for explaining "what the heck that is".

Love your videos. So informative. I have an 8 shaft baby wolf jack loom but am looking into getting a Julia drawloom. On my loom shaft 1 is in front of the weaver. On a drawloom is shaft 1 at the back of the loom. Also, do you treadle from left to right or right to left. Thank you.

I have a 8 shaft jack loom. Not counter march. Could i do this if i got some long eyed heddles. So very interesting.

What a set up! Thank you for sharing!!

I wonder if I can do this with 5 shaft satin…of course I’ll have to try.

Wow, what a fascinating technique! Now to figure out if there is a way to shade without all the tie-up changes. Thanks for sharing!

As usual - great video And you are a genius at playing the loom But was it possible to employ some levers on the drawing board (7) for this purpose? Meaning that the tie up is fixed as usual and we connect each lever to a lever on the drawing board When pressing, we raise the lever on which the turn is?

كالعادة - الفيديو رائع وانتى عبقرية في اللعب على النول ولكن هل كان من الممكن ان نوظف بعض الروافع على لوحة الرسم (7) لهذا الغرض؟ بمعنى ان رباط الدوس يكون ثابت كالمعتاد ونربط كل رافعة برافعة على لوحة الرسم وعند الضغط نرفع الرافعة التى عليها الدور؟

Amy,いつも有り難う！タイアップを変えるのが、面倒くさいけど、興味深い効果ですね！

Fascinating. And Yay another Dueling Rabbits video.

Yay dueling rabbits video. Makes my day

I'm completely riveted to watching you weave. I hope you had a lot of fun with this project!

I have another question: I see in this video that you've used a warping mill. Do you find that you prefer the mill to the warping board for fine threads?

It’s fascinating listening to you ❤

Thanks so much for yet another outstanding video! I have a question about winding your warp with finer threads on spools: do you set up the spools vertically or horizontally?

Thank you for sharing your super in-depth tips! I don’t have a draw loom, just a basic floor loom, but oh wow are these tips helping me understand weaving better! Thank you! 🧶🙏🏽💗

Excellent video. I still have not made the plunge into the draw loom pool. But I love learning about it.

This looked amazing. 🤩 I am going to try this at some point. Thanks for sharing ❤

I only have an eight shaft table loom but I’m constantly amazed by the drawloom and your content! So fascinating what can be done and look forward to your posts! 😉

this video is with vertical countermarch. Is it posible with a horisontal countermarch as well? I'm thinking of the switching of the tieup. Will it make trouble since the centercords will posible be in conflict with the shafts ?

🤯

I managed to find myself a second horizontal countermarch, Glimakra of course. I finally had time to put a warp on it last month. I got the warp all threaded, slayed, and wound. I pulled the locking pins out of the jacks and everything dropped. All of my shafts were sitting on the warp. I re-locked my jacks and rechecked all my connections, pulled the pins and again all the shafts were setting on the warp. I spent A LOT of time going over and over the loom trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I compared the new tie-up with the loom I already had that works great. 🤬 I was to the point where I was taking pictures to email to you to see if you could see where I was going wrong. During all of this I had pulled the bench way back from the loom and after taking my photos I sat down to think things through one more time. As I was sitting and grumbling I suddenly noticed that my "Long Lamms" were only about an inch longer than my short lamms. 😲Do you have any idea why someone would cut their long lamms down to almost the same length as their short lamms????? I have gotten new Long Lamms and they loom works beautifully. Also thanks for another great video.🤓

Yay. A duelling rabbits video!!! Happy me

much ado about nothing - ancient primitive

Hi I have just rewatched this episode and I was wondering if you had tried to transpose this pattern over to drawloom? I know it can be done but haven’t quite got it figured out yet. So if you have any tips it would be most appreciated.

This is a great tutorial. I wish I had seen it a year ago!

Excellent as usual Emy

As always a very useful and informative. I often use your way of doing things setting up looms especially drawlooms. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. ❤

You explain all of this in a way that is so easy for me to understand and follow. Thank you so much! 🧶🙏🏽💗

I have been using 2 legged pegs under the treadles. Arrow pegs look so much easier! And putting an arrow peg under a bead is brilliant! Thank you!

I feel a little foolish. Why didn't I think of using an arrow peg below the bead for a quick adjustment. Way easier than climbing back under the loom with a bum knee. Great video. I'm looking forward to the next.

Thank you, this was extremely helpful!

I like 3:35 ... 😍

Ooh! I'm excited to try this. I normally use double quill shuttles because I'm constantly rotating which yarns I combine in the weave. But I dislike using the double shuttles for blankets as they don't hold enough yarn. Amy to the rescue!

Thank you. Very useful as I am about to start a double weft project.

Beautifully demostrated!

Thank you, Amy! Were your ears burning? Our members at NYGH were discussing your work the other day, we may have a few aspiring damask weavers. I've shared your video on the NYGH page.

you made it! Thank you, I have struggled so much with this in the past so I can't wait to try again with these tips. I think (for me) the technique to throw the shuttle will be key.

very helpful, thank you!!!!!

w o w ... love it !🥰thank you so much for sharing🥰

Two new videos in one month. I feel like Christmas came early. 😉 I was wondering if you know of any other video producers out there that do counter march loom videos? I know Vestuga does classes. I was looking for more, chatty with a bit of how to content, for counter march.

Im for sure gonna make me a sofa seat cover to prolong life of my sofa using lampas .. i just cant not.. especially with a drawloom to save the day and make a ton of a patterns... For me, I fell in love with summer and winter, but always worried those specs would annoy me, and for the most part, no, no they didnt.. until i met lampas.. While lampas is evil in the fact i used as fine a thread as i could (eg sewing thread!!!!) for my tie downs, the result was so worth it..
