You've done a lovely job of explaining warp weighted weaving. I enjoyed too hearing about varying historical and cultural aspects; thank you! And thank you to the videographer!
Fascinating loom! Excellent teaching. But all that rude noise in the background was so horrible it was very difficult to hear sometimes. This demonstration is worthy of a quiet scene and attentive students. I would be very eager to practice making and using such a loom, to get a feel for how cloth was made by the average peasant in the Dark Ages, and perhaps to wonder idly how people got super fine fabrics from such a machine! I'm sure I would never have the patience or skill. It really makes you respect the women of the bygone era for how much effort they put into clothing their families, let alone the time it took to grow the fiber, spin it, and sew the garments and things necessary for them all. I would like to see a series someday where even one garment was created from scratch this way, and see how much time and labor it actually required.
Very good, but I would love to see a new version of this, filmed in a quiet location, I just couldn’t hear everything with all that background noise. I find ancient textile production fascinating. It’s possible to visualize how the process developed to this point from the initially very simple weaving of perhaps straw and leather strips.
I just noticed the tablet weaving setup next to the rest of the warp on the loom. At first I assumed it was just a side project, but now I'm wondering whether it is meant to become part of the fabric being woven? Like a selvedge edge perhaps? if so, does this mean that decorative tablet woven patterns were actually a part of the fabric of tunics and not just applied to them? That would certainly change a few things...
I can see the utility of weighted bags over single large weights. If doing finer fabrics it might be easier to just use less weight in a bag than to keep several different sets of weights handy. Lol I can imagine an archeologist seeing a weaver's pile of "weight gravel" and thinking it was just unimportant dirt, rather than recognizing it as part of the tools for weaving.
Thank you Mrs. Bradley In my opinion learn of rise of humanity is very important to understand tools that we use such as clothes, machine. Tela was used from primal y to Ad 1000. It is very interesting. I see that after ancient Rome and Asian culture which is chine and Egyptian, Anatolia. People had used similar machine that was improving little bit and astronomy until kopernik. What didn't they try to invent new things until 1000. I am very curious about things. Thank you for sharing.
Great demonstration. Poor sound unfortunately, but oh well. Btw, it's called a shed because in older English 'shed' (from sceadan) meant to part, separate, or divide.
I really wanted to listen to you informative and extremely interesting but, the noise level of the tostesteron crowd was too much for mi good luck on your next video
This was at the Austin Celtic Festival in Austin, Texas. I'm Sarida, the weaver, I live in San Antonio, Texas. I do not have a website but I am available for workshops and seminars. sarida.steed@gmail.com
I love this video. You are very knowledgeable about weaving and history! I live in Corpus Christi, so I'm a little too far away for regular classes, but I would be very interested in information about a seminar. I'll be emailing you soon.

Thorough and well explained. Great video.

Very clear and helpful demonstration. Thank you.
Was there a mideval inspired drinking competition going on in the background? Otherwise great video and explanation.

...pretty sure these were still in use in parts of the nordic countries at least up until the 50s.

Thanks for sharing, nice video!
Wow. Can I get this information again without the frat house party in the background?
Great demonstration video! The inebriated howling in the rear sucks but, nonetheless, 2 thumbs up👍👍

Excellent, I love finding the linguistic roots of textile words and terms. Thank you.
Great information, but difficult to hear over that background noise!
can't understand what she is saying because of the background noise

What is in the bags for weight?
Lead fishing weights. They are cheap and give a consistent weight across the entire warp.
Where was this and who is the woman? I want to see if she has a website or classes.

Weaving Lenin with petal rods on a limb. CCs can be hilarious.
GOLLLLL
A face cloth would take this woman forEVER!!!!!
Too bad those guys behind her didn’t shut up.
Why does no one then go on to how you use that material? Because afaik if you cut that shit anywhere it all just falls apart.
WORST
CAMERAMAN
EVER
