I needed a secure knot I could depend on for my crocheting. I have watched several on the weaver’s knot. Yours is the best and the only one I got. Very well demonstrated. Your method makes it so easy. Thank you.
Thanks! I've been amazed by how many people have found it useful. Perhaps more will find value in it with so many us sheltering in place, I know I'm weaving more and my spinning wheel is getting a workout!
Thanks for 1) using two colours which makes it easy to see which end you are working with. 2) for doing a close up 3) for using a background which makes it easy to see the technique 4) using yarn and not thread. 5) Good sound and video. Thanks.
This is the way I tie my threads, yarns whatever. My mother taught me this way of knotting threads when she taught me how to sew. When I learned to crochet in my elementary days, this is the same way I tie my yarns. This is the kind of knot I am teaching my kids..but it is only now, when I am already in my 60s that I learned the name of this kind of knot...Thanks.
Nice demonstration. I work as a weaver in a mill, so I tie weaver's knots a lot. There are many variations you can do, depending on the type of yarn (spun or filament) and denier.
THANK YOU! You made ane excellent quality tutorial & video. easily visible with yarn & close up. Clear voice & quick to the point. everyone should learn this one it's easy & STRONG
That is in fact a weaver's knot, at least up here in the northeast. Good demonstration of the knot as well. However, weavers just pull down quickly on the purple thread while pinching the threads instead of grabbing the two ends and the purple thread. It's much faster but can't really be demonstrated on video as well as your demo did. I use to watch 3,000 cones of thread at a time weaving narrow fabric. So most of my time I was walking among the cones holding several under my arms at a time. As cones ran out I had to change the cones out without stopping the looms and that required a weaver knot because it was the fastest knot to tie. It's small profile also allowed the knot to slip through the heddles and reeds without catching up on them and wiping out the fabric.
Thanks for kind words. UA-cam video of contemporary commercial looms and spinning equipment is amazing. I would never be able to breathe fearing broken thread....which I'm guessing stops the weaving process automatically? automatically.
@@treadlesheddlesandme Normally it just stops the loom when a thread breaks or runs out. Each thread I'd strung through a drop wire that's held over a charged plate by the thread tension. When the thread breaks or runs out the drop wire drops onto the plate and the circuit shuts the loom off. But there are times when it doesn't work and the entire strip of cloth is smashed requiring a new setup and replacing broken parts. We call that a "crash".
It took me a few tries to get it right but once I did waalaa a great knot! Thanks so much. You did a great job, it was user error it took me more than 3 tries to get it right. ol
The knot was originally used to tie silk strands together. There was a reward on offer to the person who could solve the problem when a strand snapped.... This was the knot that won a lot of money.... In Nottingham uk... It is called the silk or lace knot as I recall and is just as effective in small diameter rope.
I remember most of a rhyme for tying this knot - not that I ever managed it but now it makes sense. the rhyme was - chase a rabbit around a tree, catch him by his left ear. something something something (bit I don't remember) and pull hard to hang him (why are the rhyme's always so violent?) - the way I did manage to tie this was make a slip knot, pass the new thread end through the loop of the slip knot and tighten it down (you can hear a click with some threads, yarn not so much)

Thank you for the compliment. Still shocked as to the number of people who have viewed the demo, but I am delighted they found it useful.

my mom tried to teach me this year's ago. I Did learn but forgot how. thank you for reteaching me
I learned this when I worked in linen mills years ago, it won’t slip for sure, still use it today when tying anything,
Thank you!! I forgot to make this knot and I was so frustrated, but now I can finnaly relax :))
glad it helped! (Embarrassing confession... I've had to watch it again myself because I forgot how!)
:)) that's hilarious! The troublesome knot.
#890 on the likes because this IS the best tutorial for joining yarn! Thank you !!
Blush.......

Wow. I've tried lots of knots for crochet and this one doesn't budge, even after cutting the ends closely
thanks a lot this was helpful.
