    See I would love to get into this but when I was 19-21 I worked in a factory and I was a “weaver”. I had twenty to twenty five big industrial weaving machines I worked. I walked around all night long working these. Making sure none stopped and if they did I would have to find the issue (snag, broken thread) they were so big that when the machine stopped it meant some thread broke and I had to look through thousands of tiny threads to determine which one it was. I had look pieces of thread and would have to do a “weavers knot to get the thread back together that broke. If I didn’t tie it right it left a defect in the fabric. It’s nostalgic when I look back on it.
    There was an industrial factory, one of the first cotton mills in north west Georgia. It started producing denim in 1971 and became the “cotton mill” of the “denim mill” as people in town called it. Mount Vernon Mills (Riegel) Our small little country town and county was built around it. My whole family has worked or still works there to this day. Many older generations have retired from this location. My Grandfather worked there for almost 40 years. Today the mill produces over two million pounds of cotton and denim fabric to different locations in the United States and other countries.
    So while “weaving” is nostalgic. And I have done a a couple of weaving projects on much smaller scales that fit in my lap, the thought of working on these bigger weaving looms I would have to put together makes me feel like I would be “working”. Which makes me sad bc I was quite good at it and know I would be able to use the skills I acquired to crank out some good pieces.
    It can be quite an enjoyable and rewarding hobby.
    I say all of that to share some of my history and families history in this weaving industry. And to say it was quite nice seeing the little tools you were using to do this. The little hook you acquired to make it easier to pull your threads through really brings back memories 😊. It was a necessary, trusted, well used tool I kept in my apron and held in my hands those years working the weaving looms.
    Thank you for sharing this. It’s stirred up a lot of memories and feelings of nostalgia. Especially regarding my grandfather who was a very important part of the mill for many decades 😊

    Это потрясающе!!! Я видела в детстве, как бабушка у моей подруги ткала на старинном деревянном станке - это всегда как магия 🧚🏻‍♂️✨✨✨ Ещё у нас на улице жила другая бабуля, которая умела прясть. У нас была собака сенбернар, из её шерсти баба Катя пряла нам пряжу, а мама из этой пряжи связала носки. Очень тёплые!

    Lovely video! I just wanted to mention, If you're seriously interested in continuing to learn to weave, I would suggest buying a boat shuttle! They're the kind of shuttle that has A bobbin that you can switch out instead of just being a stick. The sticks are good for small projects but can get very clunky and awkward if you want to work on anything larger. Hope this helps!

    Good morning Kiko, how lovely to spend some time weaving with you today. Your loom looks to be a lovely quality. Like you I prefer quality products. They really do make assembling and using so much more a lovely experience. I am always happy to wait and save for such an item. I must say your first weave was amazing. The pattern so very pretty especially once looked at close up. You have inspired me to get my little hand loom out and make a piece to go on a card for a friend. (My loom is small about 6 x 10 inches or so). However, it slots into a little box with various yarn and handy to get when the mood takes me.
    Your garden looks lovely. My husband commented last week as to how early the flowers have bloomed this year in our garden. About a month in advance. Maybe due to the warmer winters we are currently experiencing in my part of the UK. Not warm, but not as severe as they used to be with very heavy frosts and snow.
    Thank you for taking the time to do this video Kiko. I also enjoyed seeing your yarn. Take care until your next video. With thanks as always :)

    WOW and OMG. I dont think I have so much patience as you do have and after watching your video I need a weaving machine for myself now. And I was just wondering if can we make such more pieces maybe two or three and sew them together to make a floormat. I am not sure how will it turn out, maybe not good! But there has to be a way where we want to make something with longer width.

    • @kikosabi
      @kikosabi  8 місяців тому

      Thank you very much for watching! I've seen someone cutting up sections of a long weaved fabric and sewed up the edges to use as dish towels so I feel like sewing pieces together to make a floormat shouldn't be a problem. There are bigger looms for wider projects too! 😊

    Здравствуйте, Кико! В то время, когда я была ребёнком, все дети, живущие в нашем переулке, в период летних каникул были похожими на дикие цветы. Мы возвращались домой только для того, чтобы принимать пищу и отдыхать ночью. Тогда было очень безопасное время, мы рисковали только получить обычные ссадины, которые бывают тогда, когда спотыкаешься о мелкий камень или неудачно спускаешься с дерева, с которого срывал и тут-же съедал фрукты. я увидела на видео белую дицентру, которую мы использовали в играх и которая считалась ценной, потому что мало у кого из нас росла и вспомнила всë это, а сейчас мне много лет. Спасибо Вам!

      It really is my first time weaving! Also unboxing and assembling a loom. I had a lot of 🤔🧐 moments especially when warping the loom. 😅 Thanks to the instruction manual and a bunch of videos, I managed to make my first project!
