    Very helpful- just one question- how can you tug so hard if using finer yarn that isn’t as robust as cotton?

    • @EugeneTextileCenter
      @EugeneTextileCenter 5 місяців тому

      When you are using finer yarns, or yarns that are less sturdy, you can pull on larger numbers of threads (strength in umbers!). For some yarns, you will need to just not pull too hard. Sadly, only experience can tell you how hard is too hard! If you break any of the warp yarns, it was too hard - pull a bit less for the rest of the warp.

    I missed in this video or part three that came before where you remove the blocks that you used to raise the shafts while you were threading heddles. When do you do that?

    • @EugeneTextileCenter
      @EugeneTextileCenter Рік тому

      We remove the blocks after we sley the reed. It kind of depends on your loom. The blocks are there to raise the shafts in order to make threading and sleying more comfortable. It isn't 100% necessary for every type of loom out there. You just want to make sure to remove them before you tie on, or for SURE before you start weaving!

      These are reeds for weaving. We use them to keep the warp yarns spread out at a specific density. It helps keep the fabric even or light.

    • @EugeneTextileCenter
      @EugeneTextileCenter Рік тому

      You pause, and roll back to one end or the other where you can tie on a new thread to replace the knot. Some weavers prefer to leave it and repair the thread while weaving or after the cloth is woven (which is what you would do if you missed taking out a knot while warping).

    Thank you for this video! I've always dressed my loom front to back but would like to try back to front. My biggest concern is having to lean over the breast beam to thread the heddles. I think this would really mess up my back as it seems to get easily bothered, especially by leaning over. Dressing front to back allows me to sit on a low bench between the shafts and the rear beam (I remove the warp beam) and get very close to the heddles. I'm curious what your thoughts on this are. Is there a more ergonomic way to dress back to front? Thank you so much!

    • @EugeneTextileCenter
      @EugeneTextileCenter Рік тому

      You're absolutely right, it can be a bit awkward to thread the heddles from the front sometimes. The solution depends on the loom. Some looms let you remove the breast beam and sometimes the beater as well, which is great. On jack looms, we often use wood blocks to also raise the shafts higher during threading so that you can reach better. Let us know what kind of loom you have and we might have some more specific tips.

    I have a Baby Wolf with the clips on the heddle bars in the middle. Do you have to count out the required heddles left and right of the center clips before threading? I learned on a Wolf Pub that doesn’t have this middle clip (like in the video).

    • @EugeneTextileCenter
      @EugeneTextileCenter Рік тому

      Hi! I just unclip the heddle bars before I start threading, and then re-connect them once I've tied onto the front bar. That way I know that everything is nice and straight before I start weaving. The smaller looms don't usually have a clip, and some wide looms have more than one clip :-)

    • @EugeneTextileCenter
      @EugeneTextileCenter Рік тому

      No tat all! I usually unclip all of the shafts that I am using before I start, get the loom all threaded, then re-clip the shafts once I'm tied on. That way I can make sure that they are nicely diving the warp and I didn't mis-calculate the number of heddles I needed (PLUS, I don't like counting all that much). This works for any loom that has clips on its heddle bar, as long as they won't fall out while you are threading when they are unclipped. If that's the case, I make a rough guess, then re-clip once I've tied on if needed.

      For surface rust, we use a brass brush (like for cleaning a barbeque). For more serious rust, Naval Jelly is an option, but it will leave the surface pitted. I would also consider shortening the reed to get rid of the worst bits.
