Oh, for heaven's sake. Finally! A video that goes slow enough for us beginners and shows how the yarn runs, where to pull....etc. The other ones I watched had hands in the way and didn't show details at all. Thank you for this one!
OMG, you are a terrific teacher! Thank you so much for this eminently understandable presentation! Wish I'd found you months ago so my new RHL wasn't languishing in the closet unwarped! I 😂
I am so glad this helped you with your weaving. We try to keep it easy for everone to understand the process. There are 2 more videos in the series for weaving and removing the project from your loom. I hope these help as well. Jeannine
This was so helpful!!! I was nervous to get started with my new loom, but now I feel like it’s not as difficult as some videos make it seem. Thanks for sharing your skills!
I am so grateful to you for this tutorial, it was the best one I have seen by far. I have only just bought my loom and was feeling very overwhelmed and frustrated trying to warp it, as I just couldn't wrap my head around it using the other tutorials I found on UA-cam. You have definitely given me confidence to get stuck in and try again. Thank you so much ❤

Thank you so much! I am so glad I found this, excellent info and to the point! I got it right the very first time thanks to this and the follow up video! I wish I would live closer to you Ladies!
THANK YOU. I'm trying to decide on my first loom and this loom scared me. The cost of it and not knowing anything about it sure scared me. I want a loom that I can do a continuous piece of work for Christmas gifts but have no idea if I will stick with it...especially if it is to complicated or difficult. I have watched several other videos that ALMOST sealed the fate on this nifty loom but you just corrected my mind! THANK YOU.
Thank you much for this video! I have tried warp my cricket several times with terrible results and wasted yarn. Your technique was so easy and I got it done with nice tension and only one twist. Yea!! I am 81 year old nursing home resident and trying go make a baby blanket in three panels since my cricket is only 15 inches wide. Could you sometime do a video on how to do three panels exactly the same lengh. If you count picks how do you keep track after you start rolling? Also any easy pick up stick patterns and tutorial would so be appreciated. Thank you again for your so easy instruction
Margaret, I am very happy this was a big help to you. I do have a couple suggestions for making identical (or close to it) panels. You can place removeable stitch markers and measure as you go. I like to document these measurements on a piece of paper. You can also count your weavings. But you need to know that you should be close to the same weaving tension on all these panels. I have also seen videos where people use a cloth tape measure that is secured to the work and then roll it up onto the finished fabric as they go. This way you know exactly how long each piece is. I will have to look into doing pick up stick patterns. Is there something specific you would like to see? I could recommend a couple weaving books that would also help if you are interested. Jeannine
Thank you I was looking to find something simple for baby blanket. Have 3 new greatgrands coming this spring and summer. If you have time a tutorial would be nice but anyway I do so appreciate this video it helped me a lot after many failures. MJG
@@margaretjgreen8937 I will be doing some more videos on weaving. Another way to measure your pieces so they are the same length is do cut a piece of yarn or thread the length you want your piece to be, attach it to the first row and let it wind on as you weave and advance your project. This way when you reach the end of the yarn, your piece will be the length you need. Use this same piece for all your sections. This should help with getting the same lengths of multiple pieces to sew together.

Thank you. This is very helpful! Can anyone recommend what size loom I should be buying? I'd like to make dishcloths and welcome door mats. Thank you 😊
The most popular size we sell in the store is the 24" rigid heddle loom. You can do so much more with this one since it can do the wider projects as well as smaller items. Let me know if there is anything else you may need. Jeannine
Thank you sooo much. Just subscribed. You answered a question about set-up. I have limited space & no long table to put loom & peg but I do have 2 snack tables...perfect. Your ibstructions were great. I ddo have a question about the warping yarn...how much would I start with to make it that long(e.g., would one skein of yarn be enough?) Not sure if you understand my question.
It depends on how long and wide your project is. This is easy to calculate. Take your length of your project plus about 8 inches for tying on to the front and back beams. Multiply that by the number of warp ends (eyes and slots). Convert to yards and there you have it. So for this project it is 48 warp ends at 6" (2 yards) long. So 96 yards in your warp. I hope this helps. Jeannine
@thebluefibertree Yes it does. Sorry about the typos. Received my loom the other day. Assembly problem though: the screws are so tight that I can't get them against the wood panel. Just have to eat more Wheaties!
We sell these in the store. Cardboard strips can be used as well as heavy craft paper. We some times use paper bags cut to the width of the loom. Many possibilities. Jeannine
OK ,not sure if you've ever encountered this problem. After warping & starting my 1st project(bit of a minor disaster but it's a first time),I found that as I was weaving,thought I needed to adjust tension. But as I tried,it hardly moved at all. Tension was OK. Not sure if you understand my problem but I'll just keep plugging onward. I found the prettiest light blue yarn I'm just really wanting to do this next project up well.
What loom are you using? If you have an Ashford knitters loom the tension will be an issue if you did not angle the loom before tying onto the front beam. With the standard Ashford rigid heddle looms, that is not a problem. Also, is the warp yarn stretchy? That can also cause tension issues if it continues to stretch on you. There may be some other factors as well, but not being able to see it in person, I can only suggest some things, Let me know if this helps. Jeannine
@@thebluefibertree I'm using an Ashford 16". Same as in one of your videos. Don't know what angling is. The yarn isn't stretchy I don't think. Oh well,back to the old drawing board. Thanks for your videos.
When you tie on to the back beam, you just pull that through the first slot for your project. You do not wrap it around anything. The next slot you will go through will be the strand that gets wrapped around the beam. This one should go over the top and around the beam from underneath. Pull the strand through the slot and wrap around the warp peg. The next strand of warp yarn will already be in position to just pull up and over the back beam. I hope this helps. Jeannine
where are you located?? I just ordered my first Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom and have been watching everyday youtube videos because I am in MN and cant find anyone that knows how to do this. I twine rugs on my stand up loom I can't think of the name off hand Libby something and I love that. I would love to find someone in MN that dose this. Thanks for the videos. Roxanne

great job; simple, yet complete, explanation and demo!
Thank you for teaching this techniqies. My grand mum was used to do this and I always help her, that was pritty similar.😢
This was an amazing tutorial, very easy to understand, Thankyou ladies 💕
You're welcome!
Great video ! Thank you so much for making this process crystal clear!
You are so welcome! That's what we were hoping to acccomplish.
Very good video!! Thank you
Thank you! We tried really hard to make this easy to follow. Jeannine

Very clear and concise. Thanks!
Awesome video!!!
Just got my Ashford Loom , can Waite to star . Thank you so much for this video . Many Blessings.
I am so glad the videos are helping. Please show us your project when you get it finished. Jeannine
I am so inspired by Your tutorial. It is very detailed. I am very interested in weaving my own clothes. I look forward to buying my first loom.

When you start your warp do you go over and then under the beam you tied on to?
