PART 2 of Trying Double Weave on my Rigid Heddle Loom: THE WEAVING!

- This is PART 2 of trying double weaving for the first time on my rigid heddle loom. The warping of the loom was done in PART 1. In this video, I will be doing the weaving. I will also be weaving three different variation of double weave, which are double width, double layers and tube weaving.

THE YARN
I used Lion Brand yarns from their Heartland collection for this project. Here are the names of the colors for the warp and the double layers sample:
-Great Smoky Mountains (grey)
-Canyonlands (golden yellow)
Here's the name of the color for the weft for the double width and the tube samples:
-Dry Tortugas

THE BOOK
For this technique, I'm using as reference "The Ashford Book of Rigid Heddle Weaving", the revised edition, by Rowena Hart. The technique is found from page 98 to 100.
This book is available at The Woolery in the US, here's the link: woolery.com/ashford-book-of-r...
THE HEDDLES
For double weave, you would need two heddles. If you need an extra heddle and in the US, the Woolery has them all! Here's the link woolery.com/ashford-rigid-hed...
LOOM
In the video, you can see my 32"(80cm) rigid heddle loom from Ashford. If you are looking for a loom just like mine and in the US, you can check out the Woolery's website. Here's the link: woolery.com/ashford-rigid-hed...

Your tutorials have been so pleasant, informative, and organized. I’m hitting like at the beginning of the video. I already know it’s going to be good. 😊 Thank you for the great content! As an aspiring novice, it helps me to see the consequences of your mistakes, and how you correct them. Catching a glimpse of your cats always adds value as well. 😁
07.05.2024 .. Dziekuje serdecznie za ten film instruktażowy. Jest bezcenny❤. Czekam na kolejne😊 Pozdrawiam z Polski. Ela😊
Dziękuję 😊
Such a great demo. I am finally getting a much clearer idea of how to make this work. Seeing the two sheds for each heddle makes it much more understandable. Thanks.
I'm glad it was helpful! 😄
I waited until I could watch this without distractions and I’m glad I did. There’s a lot to focus on but you do a masterful job of editing to keep it from getting boring and your personality really carries it through. I eventually want to try this myself when I have more time and play around with it. I like to sew but sometimes seaming edges together can be tedious if the warp is long. You did a great job explaining and most importantly showing. Great camera angles. Love watching your videos
Thank you so so much for your nice words! This means a lot to me to know that you enjoy the way I make my videos ❤️
This is so exciting! I've tried to learn double weave once before, but got stuck and could NOT figure it out. I'm going to buy this book and between that and your video I feel confident I can figure it out this time. Thank you! 😊
You are welcome! I'm glad I could be helpful 😊 I wish you good luck trying it again!
I have tried this too and my experience was very similar. I noticed also as you advance the warp ,the woven cloth ,because it is double thickness, fills up the front bar quicker . This means the sheds become less open sooner, making it more likely that floats are created. Like you I am interested in making wider pieces but it doesn’t quite work out as double the width capacity of the loom . I look forward to seeing how you get on with a bigger project and if you develop techniques for catching those hidden floats. Thank you for sharing. 😊
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who experienced those struggles 🙃 I will definetely work on it!
Je pense que l'on n'accorde pas assez d'attention à votre assistant de tissage 😻
Hahaahah je crois qu'elle bien d'accord avec vous 😹
I'm glad it worked out for you. Pretty cool project.
Thank you so much Stephanie! 😆
And you are very talented!
Congrats!!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Aaahhhh I’ve been so excited for this video, yay!
I really appreciate these videos in which you show your mistakes and struggles and the things you learned, as well as your excitement over learning something new. I enjoy that you shared what you might use each technique for as well. Initially I wasn’t very interested in the tube weaving idea, but now I’m very excited to try weaving a cowl! :)
Oh yay! I hope it was worth the wait 😁
Thank you so much for saying this! I was unsure if people who like this kind of videos since that it's not an actual tutorial! So it warms my heart to read you 🥰 A cowl could be very nice! What a cool idea!
Ooh new video! This is so ambitious, I would be so nervous to accidentally connect the 2 fabrics😅
Hahaha! I was scared of it too at first! But thankfully it really wasn't such an issue while weaving 😅
hi! weaving adventures are so much fun...ans some times discouraging 😉 i just finished a double weave and this is what i learned....beware of your warp. Mine was going to be the same as the weft, but it was too thick. so took everything off and restante with something much thinner. size 3 yarn and no8 heddles. it gas still a little stick and pad to often make sure everybody went up and down properly.
Also, if you start weaving on the right, your fold will be on the left, and on the right if you start weaving on the left. So just a consideration if you're doing a check pattern.
I didn't figure out how to hemstitch on the loom because of the double thickness of fabric. the start is okay if you have waste yard....but trickier for the end. The last strand wants to escape, so maybe a row or two of waste yarn to secure everything when removing off the loom.
Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and tips 🥰
Thanks for your demos!
Appreciate it!
What is the size of RH loom?
I will certainly follow your videos and thinking about buying a RH loom.
Thank you!
You are welcome! Thank you for your nice comments 😊 My loom is a 32" (80cm) rigid heddle loom from Ashford
Just checking on you. Hope you are alright.
Yes, everything is good! A lot of stuff changed in my life lately, but everything is falling back into place now 😊 thank you for reaching out!
Next time, advance your warp for your fringe before you start weaving your colors so you start where you have something to beat against.
Thank you for this tip!
Hi. Why not concern a wider loom?
For many reasons! Wider looms are more expensive and take up more space. It doesn't always make sense to get a big loom and double weave can be a solution in some situations 😄
