Let me add one additional trick with respect to floating selvedge threads: leave one dent empty in the reed between the warp for the actual cloth and the floating selvedge thread on either side. This helps control draw-in.
@@ActonCreative, I'm working on another piece of summer-and-winter currently. it will be a coverlet, three panels hand-stitched together. I've actually doubled the selvedge threads and the outer two warp threads to level out draw-in. I hope to be done with it by the time you announce the October Weave-Along (rosepath, maybe?) ;)
Thanks you Chris for another inspiring video. I often put your channel on & place my iPad where I can easily hit the backup button when I hear “hey, what did she just say?”, in my head. Love envisioning the next project!
Absolutely amazing video ~ threading my heddles now for Rosepath. Can I ask they name and type of yarn you have on your shelf behind you the LARGE cones such as the yellow or the burgundy ~ interested in purchasing large cones. Thank you and please keep your wonderful videos coming!!!!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad it was helpful! As for the cones, I tend to get quite a few of them through my local weaver's guild sale. So many aren't marked. But they are at least a pound of yarn each, which is great fun!!
Thank you for your prompt response ~ I have only been able to find 1 pound cones and the ones on your shelf look to be quite a bit larger ~ just wondering who might have the larger cones????
Thank you for your helpful videos. I am struggling with the draft reading on pg.74, in particular the treadling. section. Am I correct in thinking that the top treadling section goes with the first tie-up section, and so on? Thank you so much.
Hi Jennifer! Yes! To create the top variation on page 74, you'll use the yellow treadling. However it's a lot of tie-ups! So if you only have 4-6 treadles, I would recommend a direct tie-up approach (1 treadle with 1 shaft) snd then just double-foot it when you need to. I hope that helps!

What a wonderful idea! I'm going to try that next time I dress a loom. Thanks.
@@DeForestRanger We can't wait to see it finished! Best of luck!!!
I did a three panel coverlet in Orange Peel.....
Ooh - that looks great. Something for my 4th project....

It's my pleasure! I'm so happy to hear you're finding the episodes valuable!! Yay!!
I'm actually working on some bath towels made in cotton, with borders in rosepath pattern. Love the way you explain it!! Thank you!
That's fantastic!! Let me know how they turn out!!
I love rosepath. I need to plan something with it on my next loom project. Thanks.
Connie, we're excited to see what you'll do with it!!!
@@ActonCreative something on my 18" Kelda... mind's clicking.
Thanks Kris. Going to try this pattern soon. :)
Excellent! I hope you enjoy it!

@@debbymatyas349 Oooh, good question! Since I didn't buy them directly, I'm afraid I'm not much help!
Hi , this pattern book you are using, by Ann Dixon. Would I be able to use it for a 4 shaft table loom?
Hi Sharon! Great question! Yes, absolutely!! Everything you can do on a floor loom can be done on a table loom. It's a wonderful book!
Thankyou@@ActonCreative
