Learn how to weave the pinwheel pattern on a rigid heddle loom! Pattern repeat at beginning and end of the video. - Навчання та стиль
The most beeaurifull video for such a difficult but pretty pattern. Thank you for sharing this with so much patience and slowly to be understanding even for me as a beginner. I just find you and I m so happy. I ll try to see it again so I think that I can manage to make it. I like this pattern so much! Thanks again!
You are so welcome! I loved the final piece so it was well worth the effort to weave it. Enjoy!
What a great pattern - looks so cool! Thank you for posting. Like the string heddle idea below, too. And like your dog :)
:) I have a couple sweet older girls that like to hang out with me while I weave and spin. Thanks for watching!
Boy I need glasses and brain thank you for your wonderful patience God Bless vicky
thanks so much for giving a simple explanation to a complicated pattern!
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video! Very helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time.
You are so welcome!
I've been looking for something a bit more challenging to do on my rigid heddle. Thank you for your clear instruction on how to weave this beautiful pattern. After reading the comments below, I think I'd prefer to use a pickup stick for each individual throw rather than tying up string heddles. That would be far too many dowels to have rattling around!
It's a beautiful scarf when finished. Be sure you have a floating selvedge on each side. I found I could only use one pick up stick but if you find a way to use multiple I'd love to know. :)
Nice clear video that makes it easy to do. Fantastic, can’t wait to do this, it’s gorgeous. Thank you, perfect.
Thank you for watching and glad you found it helpful! Enjoy!
Thank you, I am so in love with this pattern, I'm just warping up now, I plan to make a jacket out of the material. Again, Thank You.
You are very welcome! I haven't found a good way to use string heddles to make it go faster however I did add a pick up stick for the over 2, under 1, over 1, under 1, over 2. That is one of the slower rows so having that as a pick up stick behind the heddle helps move through the repeats. ENJOY!
Thanks for posting this, but have you considered making string heddles so you don’t have to use the pick up stick for every pick. You can keep one pick-up stick and then the other pick-up patterns use a string heddles with a dowel for each one. Check it out, you might like it.
Hi Heidi! Yes I actually think that would make this go much faster. :) Thanks for watching and commenting too!
Been watching this. The pickup work happens in front of the rigid heddle, also picking up hole warps to create a very narrow shed. String heddles would interfere with beating, so this 8-shaft pinwheel pattern is quite slow and tedious.
@@charlesdavis7616 you are 100% correct.
I gotta try this looks amazing thank you
Hope you enjoy the weave!
OMG, I'm going to be there until I die. I get stickers and stick it on! LOL. 😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for clarifying for me how pinwheel happens! Sort of seems to me that a series of holding sticks, one for each of the patterns - as traditional backstrap weavers do - would be easier that all this picking up. You wouldn't be able to use the rigid heddle for beating, you'd have to use a beater stick. Don't get me wrong. I have endless patience for pickup weaving when creating images, but this kind of fine repetition.... well, I guess it's still faster that stranded knitting.
You certainly could use string heddles to tie up the pattern and not use the heddle to beat. It is a time consuming pattern on the rigid heddle loom!
Beautiful
Thank you!
You must be some kind of wonderful genius!!!! How did you ever create this pattern????? Beautiful!!!
I truly cannot take the pattern credit. It was originally posted in written form by a member of ravelry. ;)
I just found your video and am going to try this. Please explain your floating selvages. I’ve only used one warp thread in a slot and go over or under. It looks like you have one in a slot and one in a hole.
Having a float in the slot on each side would be perfectly fine. I had actually set those up as plain weave along the edge and used them as the "floating selvedge". Using a float in the slot would be more straight forward and effective if you don't want the plain weave on each side of the pinwheels. Happy Weaving!
Thanks for the explanation.
Wow
Ficou muito lindo
thank you!
ALso THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. I love this pattern and to be able to figure it out on the rigid heddle loom is wonderful.
I wondered if you are the one that figured it out for us all? Again, If you would be willing to give us instruction on the salvage. That would be great.
Hi Shanti ~ I wish I could take credit for figuring it out but I'm not that advanced. I found the written details in a blog post by Jeen on Ravelry after "going down a rabbit hole" searching. That post can be found here: www.ravelry.com/projects/jeen/8-harness-pinwheels-on-a-rigid-heddle-loom
For the edges, definitely use 1 or better yet. 2 floating salvage threads! :)
Love the pattern! I’m a rank beginner at weaving, but it looks like you didn’t do enough rows of the white pinwheels in your demo. That section looks narrower than what you had already completed, unless I’m going crazy and can’t see it properly.
This is just how to do the pinwheels. If you are referencing the kitchen towels on facebook you set up the warp the same way, weave a section of plain weave, then do 5 rows of pinwheels, and then switch back to plain weave until you get to the other end of the towel.
I'm not sure how to thread the floating selvedges. I see you have 1 of each color on either side. The video isn't clear enough for me to see if those threads go into holes & slots, please. Is the first white yarn in a slot & the second red yarn in a hole?...followed by the warping. I get that the warping then is 4 slots, 4 holes & continued. This is a (tedious), gorgeous pattern. Can you lead me to where on Raverly the pattern is written out? Thank you very much.
Hi Liza! I had a slot and hole of the lavender then a slot and hole of the burgandy yarn on both sides. I treated those threads like plain weave before inserting the pick up stick for the pattern. I like to have my weaving start and end with a warp yarn in the hole (both sides... even if the pattern would end with a slot I add one more warp thread in the last hole) to keep my edges neat. I hope that helps!
Do you have a pattern for this by chance that you can share?
The lift repeat is in the video.
Could this pattern be done on a 2 harness counterbalance floor loom?
I've done it on an 8 harness. I believe you could use a 2 harness with the same pick up pattern used for the rigid heddle
🥰
Do you have this pattern in a PDF or picture instructions? I’m in love with this pattern!
Hi Rachel! I made a slide I think 10 seconds in that has the pick up pattern. I could email it to you if you'd like. loopsandleather@gmail.com
Thank you so much. The pattern I was using had an error
Glad I could help! Once you get in a groove it's not too bad but having the right sequence is important. :)
Whats the marks on your heddle
There is a center mark and then one of each set of 10 slots/holes. Helps me center the warp and organize the threads if I'm doing a pattern. :)
What about edging
hi Vicky! So i usually add one extra warp thread on each side for the edges. They are "floating selvedges"
Could you help me again please is it 1 to 7 thank you vicky
when warping you have groups of 8 threads in each color. So using my colors as example: slot/hole/slot/hole/slot/hole/slot hole in lavendar, then repeat in wine color, repeating across, alternating groups of 8 warp thread per color. The weave pattern is also sets of 8 following the pick up pattern.
Does that help?
Hi dear trying to learn this I wanna make a tablecloth but you speak so fast my brain cannot catch it By chance do you have patrern please ty vicky so beautiful
Hi Vicky! The pick up pattern is at the very beginning.
i m sem by sem work
Bad video. Did not start from warping.
This was an impromptu video so I do apologize the warping wasn't included. If you need that information it is at the 57 second mark on the video.
@@ljatsoh I did not sat I needed anything. I just disappointed in your lack of starting
I dont mean to be rude but you could of worded that a little more kinder!!.. This lady did not need to video this at all, whether she warped it or not. She spent a while explaining it .. if you don't know how to warp the please feel free to explore other videos for advice!!
Lisa, I'm not sure why you feel the need to be so unkind, this is a super video with clear instructions . the warping is explained clearly at the beginning, if you're a new weaver this pattern may not be suitable for you at the moment.
Excellent video, it’s rare to find such a clear explanation for such a complicated pattern. I will be trying the pattern with alpaca yarn.
