ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on UA-cam. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️
I am so sick with food poisoning and your voice and the background music is bringing me so much relaxation.
this was so relaxing to watch, especially with the calming bg music :)
I agree!
You inspired me to make my first wall hanging! I didn’t have a loom, so I made one myself with a canvas and teeny, tiny nails! I love how it looks in my bedroom and how it sparks my creativity
It's so freeing! You just throw on whatever you like and things are relatively reversible - I love it so much!!
What yarn is she using is it wool or any thing else? What did you use?
When I was four and five years old, there was a long wooden loom in the private kindergarten I attended. I was always painting or immersed in a huge tin of fragrant Crayolas, and even permitted to try the mysterious magic of weaving on the mighty loom with the guidance of the instructor. This vid was a small scale trip down nostalgia lane!
Thank you for requesting this, I hope you enjoy!!! Some of you have already been DM-ing me photos of your tapestries so please do keep em coming I love to see your creativity! (and don't forget to use #madewithwendy so I can find it)
withwendy we love you Wendy ♥️♥️
You should try knitting next!
@@faeridraven I love you too!! :)

Random fact i guess :
I was also knitting when writting the comment!
Ooh! I love the new calming direction you're taking!!! Love your content Wendy! ;)
Tapestry weaving has been a great de-stress activity for me so I wanted to share and convey that!
@@withwendy I'm very interested in starting!
❤️❤️
Love the zen of this craft. Inspiring work Wendy x
My great grandma used to do rugs from old worn out textiles and the method is basically the same as in tapestry weaving, it's just done in this huge loom machine (kangaspuut where I live) that allows you to push the wefts really tightly and strongly together and it swaps out which warps are up and down so you don't have to pic them up one by one. The same system can be used to make woven fabrics (hence "kangas") which my great grandma also used to do, she made a local historical costume for herself entirely from scratch. I don't remember if my great grandfather made the loom system or not but it's usually made from wood ("puu", plural "puut")
Can you do it with double knit yarn
I make woolen blankets for hospice could I buy a weaving machine that will use double knitting yarn
I'm not sure how one would go about acquiring one where you live but sure, double knitting yarn works too!
Your story reminds me of card weaving (aka tablet weaving). I saw them done on inkle looms.
@@hotjanuary that's a whole other type of weaving! we have that too and it's mostly used to make decorative trims. Apparently this one's called either a floor loom or a rug loom
Hands down, best weaving tutorial I've ever seen. Artistic. Unique. Helpful for a beginner.
This was a very relaxing video. I love taking care and detail in something. I love you, Wendy, for showing us. You are such a beautiful soul. Thanks tapestry, Mama!
I'm here because of thesorrygirls. This was so relaxing to watch, I needed that ! I enjoyed it, will try this one day 🌸
Simply amazing. Weaving has a strong tradition in my family, my grandmother had the big kind of loom to make carpets and sometimes fabrics and all us kids have been taught how to use it. She passed away a few years ago and now my sister is moving in and renovating her old house. I’ve been brainstorming what to give them for housewarming present and this seems like the perfect combination of modern style, memories of my grandma and a fun new craft for me to try. Thank you for the video Wendy 💕
I love your videos Wendy. Not only because they are clear and unhurried , I love your calm enthusiasm for all you do and your gentle style and voice. I have depression and love to learn in this calm and gentle way it is very soothing but also informative and encouraging. Thank you so much for sharing you skills
Since you've made the first weaving video, I've wanted to pick it up for myself. And now I've got the perfect incentive to use my tools! Love your videos so much ❤❤❤

Ohhh my goodness, the beginning of your video, and your gentle hello just made me cry. Definitely needed this peace in my life. Thank you.
I'd love to give more information from a Navajo perspective where tapestries/rugs are common to weave! I'm currently working on a sunset with a cactus. It's interesting to view this in a diff view. Thanks!
Samantha Toledo I’d love to see how you do it and I’d also love to see the finished product.
Chanda Russell hi! My IG is soopersammy. Sometimes I post my textiles on my stories.
Thank you thank you thank you! I purchased a loom as well as two highly rated books on loom weaving, but I just don't learn this sort of thing well through books: I have to SEE it being done and explained (and no courses are being offered locally). I've spent two days on failed hangings, and learned more watching this video than I did agonizing over books. You rock!
I've been meaning to buy something like this for my bedroom, now I can make my own! Thank you for the calming tutorial
Hands down the best weaving video I’ve seen yet. Thank you for showing how to make the loom cheap!
very relaxing to watch, the calm of your voice and the music helped. neither invaded the space allowing me to hear and watch carefully without distraction. love the way you explain and show and take your time.
So nice to watch - the overall 'soft' quality and choice of music is SO much nicer than the electro-headache music employed by so many tutorials. I also love the 'new-to-this' daring adventure style. Very nice intro to weaving
You sure opened ideas for me, and I never even KNEW one could do and use different knots, materials.. just a whole lot of WOW inspirations! Thanks a real LOT!!
Is it as calming to do as it is to watch? I imagine it might be quite tedious but after a long and intense day this video in it's simplicity nearly brought me to tears.
Your videos are so lighthearted and informative. One of my favorite UA-cam channels 😄💕
I watch this video in the morning with my coffee, and find out that was super relaxing!!!! Love you Wendy!
wow I think I just healed watching this video. now gotta start my weaves!!
I used to have a large loom, way before my daughter was born. Haven't woven in a few decades, and have wanted to get back into it. THIS is the style I'd love to do now, dont know how I stumbled across your video, sure am glad I did!
This is the coziest video ever. I almost fell asleep! Rain, weaving, the piano! So cute!
I love that you linked shmoxd’s video in the description. He’s awesome and his videos are so cool
Thought he did a really great job adding some context to the art form and making it approachable! Things I appreciate :)
Just came from watching an old tutorial of yours. ❤️ I’m so happy that over the years, your personality has flourished and I just find you became more vibrant ✨ I love your work and you inspire me to venture into farther territories 😌 thank you for your work!
I've been wanting to get into tapestry weaving for a long time. My mom even has a huge floor loom that she's learning to use so she can use some of her left over animal fibers. She has sheep and alpacas that she has yarn and other things made out of their fleece. I bought some stuff over the weekend and hopefully will have it by tuesday so I can spend my day off playing around. This video has helped a lot and hope you make some more videos on this subject in the future!
I like the sweet chaotic feel of the back, with yarn sticking out. I weaved a rug and ended up flipping it with the back side up because it looks so pretty
What a lovely job! This is my first visit. Love your work, very inspirational. Sweet music and lovely tone of voice. I wish you much success! 😊
Love your weaving! It can sure add lots of interest in anyone’s home.
I spin my yarns by processing raw sheep fleeces from local sheep farms in my region. I dye the fiber and spin, ply and weave it.
Carded roving and combed top is NOT raw wool. What you have been working with is prepared fiber. Raw wool and animal fiber can still be dirty, at times with poop still in it along with dirt and often plant matter. Cleaner fleeces from sheep can be purchased from sheep owners who sell to spinners and have jacketed thier sheep.
I am not sure if what you have is superwash or not, but if its not superwash, you can also use the prepared fiber for felting projects like scarves, pictures, and needlefelting detailed bits into or onto almost anything. Superwash wool is not feltable since it has been chemically treated to not felt or full. It is machine washable.
I look forward to seeing your next tapestry weaving video! Happy weaving!
Just when I think you’ve blown me away with something, you do it again. Great Job Wendy!!!

Hello Wendy,
You make weaving seem so easy...I love all of your tapestries/wall hangings in this video.
Thank you for sharing
I've tried watching this many times, but today was the first time I watched from start to finish. The other times your voice and the music were so calming that I ended up falling asleep haha! I've been trying to find some crafts I could do at home and totally forgot about my love for weaving as a child. So excited to pick it back up. As much as 2d art is more common and what I'm surrounded by working in a museum, 3d and more hands on art has always been my passion and forte. Thank you for inspiring me!!
I know nothing about weaving but I found this video so satisfying and soothing. Thank you!
This video was very thorough and enjoyable! Your voice and tone are so nice to listen to. I am a novice weaver and I will refer to your video again! Can't wait to watch more!!!
Love it. I did some weaving when I was a kid too. Now I knit, crochet, cross-stitch, sew, mostly.
Thank you so much for your video! I was searching online for a weaving class to take on this style, but only found a couple and didn't want to have to travel to Brooklyn. You are a very good teacher, and you covered a lot in the video. I love the calmness of your voice and the music. Very good environment for learning!
I just got my first loom as an art teacher! I LOVE this video!!! The calm music and your calm presence is so Hygee.
You have the best energy, Wendy! The love and dedication you put in your videos really show. :))
Thank you for showing the basics. Very helpful.
I loved the format of this video. It was informative, inspiring, tranquil, and all around lovely
*fire alarm goes off in apartment building*
Wendy: *continues weaving*
Love the soft music in this video. Really relaxing to watch. :)
THANK YOU for some reason my brain couldn't comprehend how to get the ENTIRE BALL OF YARN to the right side of the frame. this is the first video of like 7 I've watched that actually showed that you cut it, even if it was brief 😅
it had the added bonus of being INCREDIBLY soothing after my frustration. you're a very peaceful person! thank you for this! ❤
Hi Wendy, I just watched your other video of your very large weave, I love all your pieces- and I LOVE the scripture - PRAISE GOD!! God bless you sister!! 💗🌷😄
Lol, I watched a loom video last week and coincidentally it's the same one you had in your link. Very calm and educational tutorial you put forward, thank you
I love to watch your videos because they are so inspiring, makes me feel like I can do anything
my head whipped around so fast to my dining table when you said you used the legs of your table as a loom i have whiplash .... I have a straight legged dining table and I need rugs! Thanks for the inspiration Wendy!
(I'm the girl spinning from your first tapestry video, if you remember)
In France where I live is actually a huge contemporary tapestry museum. This, together with your videos, inspired me so much that I started making my own. Close to finishing it now :D
Koboldmensch how’d it turn out? :)
Such a soothing and relaxing voice...this was like asmr but it was also really helpfull. One of the best tutorials/videos i've ever watched. I'm seriously going to binge all your vids tonight. You just won a subscriber
I love the chill vibe of your video.
I like Wendy. She's so crafty, she can do everything!
Wow I love how calming this video was 🥰
This is by far one of the most helpful videos I've watched and it has inspired me so much!!
You are a fabulous instructor. Just love this video.
your videos give me pure bliss
This comment gives me pure bliss :)
Wonderful! Your work is splendid, instructions easy to follow, the music restful. I am inspired. Thank you.
this is so calming to watch, i really love the vibe this video is putting out
i loved how peaceful the music was, i enjoyed watching and listening to you while i worked on my needle felt project!
Great tutorial. The music style and volume q
was perfect
Thank you for teaching this beautiful art. I love it. The music is also very soothing.
love listening to your voice.. its so calming..
Someone else may have said this but the trick to pulling apart wool roving is having your hands much further apart and just easing the fibres away from each other gently. Great tips for getting into weaving here! Thanks
As someone who just got a loom, this really helped! I got a bunch of extra parts that I didn't understand, and while I'm still confused on one part (It looks like another part for weft thread to go through, but has no way of fitting with the loom and is much bigger with more notches), this did cover 90% of what I was confused about.
Hi, I love this weaving, the music and your voice is so soothing.Great tutorial on all the different types of techniques. It looks beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this.
This was a beautiful video. I loved the explanation, they were great instructions but it was also loving the calm nature of it.
J
just finished my very first woven tapestry following this video's ideas and techniques and i have to say, this was the best video i could have picked to help me learn how to do this! thank you so much for posting it! i posted photos of it on instagram and facebook and used the # you asked us to use if we posted on social media, so it should be easy to find if you want to see what i created :) again, thank you!
Normally I can’t get through a craft video but this was really soothing and easy to get through!! I can’t wait to try this out!
This is amazing!! very calm and relaxing video to learn the tapestry for the people who have no knowledge in this art as well!!
This was so calming and serene. Love you from a fellow Torontonian. 💓
Thank you so much...I always have issues with finishing. Love your instruction❤❤❤
Wendy, you are so talented and beautiful. I pray that someday you will have a little girl just like you and as talented. Love watching you. God bless you and just so you know I am a 65 yr old that thinks your are GREAT.
Delightful. I have a broken deckchair I'm going to make into a loom after watching this - I'm inspired! Also I love that copper needle.
Beautiful. Your video was very peaceful. I can see how this art form can be very theraputic. I will try this during the winter. Thank you for a great video.
Hi Wendy! You inspired me to pick up weaving when you posted your first weaving video a few months ago. Through my journey I found Hello Hydrangea. She had a bunch of online classes that teach so many different techniques and tips! I think you would love her classes 😊
Amazing job I love your music and your personality I am crocheting while I'm watching this might be my new addiction thank you
Very nice directions. Love your calming effects. ❤️
Wow what a beautiful introduction to tapestry weaving! Inspirational! Motivating and educational all in one. Your music choice was very calming, thankyou for sharing your talent. Chris
Thank you so much, Wendy, for this tutorial. I was struggling with understanding the finishing techniques and you've helped me understand. And, I've learned a few more tips and tricks of weaving. May God continue to bless you.
Thank you so much Wendy for this video, it is the best I have seen, so soothing, so relaxing, and very easy to follow. Can't wait to get started.
wow... my very first "how to weave" video and you were awesome... can't wait to give this a go.. Thank you for posting.
This video was so calming to watch - thank you so much for making this ❤
On a particularly stressful day I stumbled across this video and it was just what I needed ❤️ Thank you!
i really need to make a loom now.
there’s a bunch of spare plywood in my basement i could probably convince my mom to let me use, then just get a file or a drill and make the notches.
Thank you. I am new to weaving and you are an inspiration.
Ok so I love her and this video inspired me to start weaving things for my family but I love how calm she was when the fire alarm went off
I can’t tell you how exciting it is to see my favourite youtuber make vids on my favourite topic! As someone who makes weaving videos myself, I always find it a shame that there aren’t more people sharing this craft on youtube. loved the calming way you edited this and how easy-to-follow it was (not to mention how beautiful the finished product turned out!). I think beginners can find the process intimidating, but this made it seem so much more accessible. excited to see what you create next! ❣️
You are just adorable! I ordered a weaving kit and lap loom from farmer’s daughters fibers for myself for Christmas! I am so looking forward to it! I shall be returning to practice again what you have taught me. Thank you again! 😘
Recently got into crocheting, I think its beautiful but I feel like i would enjoy this so much more! Your work is stunning!
This is so weird- I started Macraméing for the first time a few hours before this was posted! Still halfway through a wall hanging. I used to weave in college so after watching this I'm thinking it might be worth revisiting. Lovely video, Wendy 😊
Lol I like the way you threw your yarn. Gorgeous tapestry
I used to do this as a kid ! Makes me want to go pick up some thread. Love your vibe.
this video was so informative and makes the process seem really achieveable and clear to understand!!! thank you so much!!!
I made one and used it as the face of a throw pillow! Such a great DIY!
I love this - and the calming music is a huge plus
This is so peaceful to watch
I absolutely loved this video the calming music made it so relaxing. This definitely makes me more interested in weaving and tapestry. Thank you Wendy you did an amazing job.
