Always love your weaving videos, thank you for sharing so much great tips. So I will share one of my own, you might know this already though. Here in Sweden we twist the pattern weft on the second to last row, until it twist on itself. Then we leave enough for a hank when we weave the last row of the pattern weft. This way you dont have to crochet it :)
Thank you for showing how the tabby weave and overshot work. I have been confused how it works up to this point. Now I think I get it, and will try an overshot pattern.
Thank you so much for showing this threading sequence,most videos show straight threading only, this helps demystify the more complicated structures .Off to thread a new to me overshot pattern on my RHL :-)
Love the video, love the hot pads even more! Thanks for doing the weaving videos. You are the reason I first got interested in weaving (in addition to my knitting, crocheting, embroidery, tatting, and spinning) and I'm enjoying my little rigid heddle loom. I know some people would say it's not a "real" loom, but it's letting me get started in weaving at a very affordable price (less than $200 as opposed to $1500 for a "real" loom.) I hope to be able to buy a floor loom sometime in the future. Thanks again. I look forward to your next project!
I am about to make some hot pads out of extra fabric I have from making some dishcloths out of cotton/acrylic weft and cotton/linen warp. So glad to see you weaving again.
Thanks Andy. Always love your vids. need to purchase a loom that is portable. Trying to decide between a table loom and let's say a baby wolf - both 8 shaft. Any thoughts on why I would pick one over the other? All comments welcome from the group.
A number of years ago, I got to use a baby wolf at a class I was taking, I'm 5'10" tall and found the baby wolf a bit to low to the floor for me to be comfortable. The table looms are slower to work with because you have to reach up and move each lever individually, where as with a floor loom one treadle controls multiple shafts via the tie up. But both are good options, depending on your comfort level with them. I personally like the Ashford table loom that I have, but it really is a personal choice. See if you can find a class, or a guild or anyplace that will let you try out either one or both to see how you feel with each.
@@curmudgeon66 As I'm only 4'9", the baby wolf might be perfect for me. I'll see if I can find a guild that has some different ones I can try out. Great suggestion. Thanks
Hi there, firstly I’d like to thank you for your all your videos. I’m new to weaving and I would love to try the pattern you are working on in this video but I’m really not sure which of the books to buy that has the pattern in it, could you show the cover or recommend good pattern book. I have a 4shaft floor loom thank you again for sharing.
While I am not necessarily recommending Amazon as a place to purchase books, it is the easiest way for me to show you the book that you asked about. so here is the link to the page showing that book: www.amazon.com/Handweavers-Pattern-Marguerite-Porter-Davison/dp/0960317201/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=davison+weaving+book&qid=1598526788&sr=8-2
I see you have a lot of notes, can you share them with us in a pdf? I like your check off list that I see you use in the videos. I just got my ashford table loom, can't wait to use it.
my "notes" are just papers with numbers on them, like the ones shown at the beginning of this video as I am threading. For the "treadling" part, again its just list of numbers to say which shafts / lever to pull at one time. For example in this video the "treadling" or "lift plan" started out as: 1 4 1 4 12 12 23 23 34 34 etc, etc, etc after I throw the shuttle for each I grab my pen and put a little check mark by the numbers, this is how I keep track of where I am in the pattern. the above list of numbers is for the pattern, I have the tabby memorized as: 1 3 2 4 since that is unchanged for the entire piece.
Thank you for this new video. Always so instructive. On your eight shaft Ashford table loom I spotted a green or blue "elastic" for your beater. Is it provided with the loom or did you add this yourself.
The loom originally came with some dark brown rubber bands or elastic pieces that pull the beater back toward the castle, but after a few years those wore out & broke. I was looking for something to help the beater stay back, otherwise it just naturally falls straight down, leaving not enough space for the shed. My wife used to work at a nursing school, she had access to a bunch of used in practice only once tourniquets, basically just rubber strips. So she brought a few of them home and I used them to replace the rubber bands that Ashford had provided.
I so like coming back to you to see what you are doing. Thanks for the time and effort I always have a go after watching you. Have to say I'm rubbish with colours. Colours you weave are a whole lot different than what one wears. Visualization of colour match is not my strong point when weaving
As a newbie you are teaching me so much, thankful

so pretty! the white is my favorites

Thanks for the idea! They are very nice! I shall have to make pot holders.
Those are wonderful! Thanks for showing us how it's done!
Thanks again Andy (and Judy)
thanks very much! I always enjoy your videos! You're a great teacher!
I am one of those strange weavers. I love the process of treading the loom. Enjoyed the video.
I actually enjoy the threading process almost as much as the weaving.
I enjoyed this, and a really good idea. Thanks.
Awesome job thanks 😊

You're quite welcome, but I really don't want to take responsibility for any $$ that you might spend on looms.
@@curmudgeon66 Don't worry, I won't send you a bill!
i prefer the white ... they all look loverly but the white is my favourite
Yay, we get a great video, and you won't burn your fingers anymore, it's a win win!
Thanks, Andy. I really like these and the video helped me understand that tabby shot.
Glad it helped with that Chris
Love your colours
Thank you for the video 😁😁😁
Love your creative impressive weaving Work.
I am about to make some hot pads out of extra fabric I have from making some dishcloths out of cotton/acrylic weft and cotton/linen warp. So glad to see you weaving again.
Hi Barbara, I've actually done a bunch of weaving this winter, just wasn't in the mood to do videos. But I'm getting back to it again.
Beautiful !
Thanks for another great video
I
8/2 or 8/4 carpet warp? Great video thank you!
