Weaving a Drawloom Project (Part 4): Fine-Tuning the Damask Shed and Weaving
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лис 2020
- In this, the fourth and final part of our groundbreaking series taking a fine-wool damask scarf from start to finish, we finally get down to brass tacks and weave. Due consideration is given to refining the drawloom shed; reading a Fiberworks lift-plan; selecting the pattern-shaft and single-drawcord pulls; and weaving. The video closes with the Big Reveal.
Also included: a sneak peak at some ideas for 2021 and heartfelt thanks to everybody who's made working on this channel for the last nine months so rewarding

Very good
I don't know if I will ever progress to draw loom weaving, but listening to and watching you go through the process is great. Thank you so much for sharing.
Sonja, thank you! If you ever do decide to try drawloom weaving I hope you will let me know.
@@DuellingRabbits It's funny. In one way that looks very intimidating. And yet, I keep finding myself looking at counter march looms and thinking that bcould be set up as a beginners draw loom. Hummmm.🤔
@@sonjanordahl3158 Hmmm indeed. Why fight it? 😉 Check out the new Julia drawloom: it is perfect for folks wanting to get their feet wet with countermarch looms and drawlooms too. Just sayin'.
I've been watching through your channel in chronological order as I not-so-patiently save up for my own drawloom. I just realized that I have yet to pop into your comments (shame on me!) and give you a most hearty THANK YOU for all of the effort you have put into these videos! I am so grateful for your generosity in sharing your process, and for your thoughtful approach to teaching. I know these videos are the result of much hard work, and I cannot thank you enough for the inspiration and education! I'm looking forward to the rest of your channel!
Anne, thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words and support of my crazy little channel. It is a labor of love. I hope you will keep in touch as your drawloom journey progresses - you are in for a great ride!
really it is amazing
I just want to say thank you for being so in-depth with your loom. I really want to work my way up to a drawloom and/or modify my 4 shaft to be a mini drawloom. It's a custom built loom (I'm the third owner as far as I know) so I don't mind adding onto it in the sense that anything I would like to do would have to be custom made anyways, so I have plans to make upgrades in the works.
Thank you for all the information you're sharing, it's amazing and even if a niche subject that might not garner alot of views on UA-cam, I love what you have done visually. I'm still slightly confused by how some of it works, but that's okay. I will figure it out!
That sounds like an exciting project! I hope you will share your progress in time. And you are right - it's a niche subject, all right. But my goal is to make drawlooms go viral 🤣
@DuellingRabbits well I love it, and maybe I can help somehow! 🤣
Thank you so much for this series. It was very insightful. The possibilities of draw loom weaving are endless. Your style and technique for imparting information are wonderful. Looking forward to 2021. Do you have a website? If so, would you be able to post a bibliography of books to learn more about this exciting method of weaving? Again, many thanks and best wishes for a wonderful holiday season. Please stay safe. Happy weaving.
Thank you very much indeed. I do have a website - www.duellingrabbits.com. Adding a list of resources is a great idea and I am on it! A project for December while I'm thinking about Beiderwand.
All my very best wishes to you for the season and beyond ~Amy
Just getting ready to set up a new warp on my own drawloom. Such a good and clear review and a couple of new ideas I’ll try. Thank you Amy! Keep them coming!
Happy New Year, Jette! Thank you so much for the vote of confidence. I'm working on Beiderwand now - I thought it would be a great challenge to close out 2020 ;-) I hope you will be sharing pics of your new warp on FB or similar when you are up and running.
You so make me wish i had a loom like yours
Amy, what a fantastic scarf and such a wonderful resource for all of us with your detailed and thorough video!! Happy Holidays and I look forward to more inspiration next year.
Janet, thank you so much - and the happiest of holidays to you and yours. ~Amy
Your scarf is stunning! I’m a new weaver, only have a rigid heddle loom, but your series was fascinating to watch. I probably only understood about half of it, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Ann! My first loom was a rigid heddle and I still have it. They are great for learning weaving and extremely powerful in what they can do. I wish you all the best on your new weaving journey. ~Amy
Wow, THANK YOU for making this series of videos! I'm just setting up my single unit drawloom for the second time (after having it in storage for a couple years), and as a solo weaver without nearby resources to help me, you've answered dozens of my questions in these videos and saved me a lot of frustration.
Thank you!
Thank you for your comment, Andrea - I am so happy the series has answered some of your questions. It's exciting that you are setting up your drawloom again! If I can be of any help or provide moral support, please don't hesitate to get in touch. My email address is on the 'About' page. Good luck and have a ball. ~Amy
@@DuellingRabbits thank you. I'll take it as far as I can on my own, and it's good to have lifeline out there if I need it. :-)
@@myklebustsears It's just like riding a bike - you'll do great!
@@DuellingRabbits that's funny, I'd just said to my daughter that setting up the drawloom, I feel like a dog riding a bicycle, lol! :-)
