I like your videos, I wish you would do more. I've done Krokbragd on a riggid heddle loom. I'm going to sell my Baby Wolf loom and keeping an 8 shaft table loom, tho on a stand. So I'll do this on that table loom. You are a great teacher and video creator!
You explain the structure of krokbragd really clearly, and your filming perspective is perfect, thank you so much. I’m looking forward to the promise of some more complicated krokbragd patterns too.
I really liked your video and explanation of the weave structure. I was really sad to see you have not done any videos in a few months. I hope you start back up.
So flippin beautiful!! May I use this pattern and colour scheme for knitting a cardi'? It would be so versatile; women and men as well as all ages. Thank you.
Fantastic question! The answer is yes, but it will work best with a different threading and tie-up. My strategy is to thread it for three shaft point twill (repeat 2321), with no warp ends at all on shaft 4. Then tie up your treadles so that treadle 1 pulls down 1&4, treadle 2 pulls down 2&4, and treadle 3 pulls down 3&4. Shaft 4 is basically a dummy shaft so that you can get an unbalanced shed while still lifting/lowering 2 shafts at a time.
Thank you for the quick response. By the way, I really enjoyed your UA-cam videos you have posted over past few weeks. I used your mug rug techniques to weave a bunch of placemats and I like the results so much? Thank you, good work, keep it up!
Your tutorial is the clearest I’ve seen - thanks! Can I ask why you use 4 harnesses instead of 3 for krokbragd? Is that so you can weave other weft faced patterns on the same warp?
Yes! That is definitely the main reason. But I can imagine other reasons. Some looms aren't happy if you leave harnesses empty, for example, or you might want to use 4 harnesses in order to distribute your heddles more evenly (especially with a wider project). On the other hand, I definitely use the traditional 3-harness setup when I weave krokbragd on a 4-shaft counterbalance loom. It just depends on your circumstances.
Just to be sure I got it, while explaining the krokbragd's weaving draft (starts on minute 2.39), the threading draft has 4 raws as in 4 shaft looms but when you demonstrate the weaving process on your loom, shafts 2 and 4 been combined to constitute shaft no. 2, and the weaving is done in 3 shafts format? thank you!!!
Yes, that's correct! I did it this way to keep the threading and setup consistent with my other videos. But yes, no matter how you get them, krokbragd uses three different sheds. You can certainly thread your loom 1-2-3-2-1-2-3-2 and so on to get the same result.
Thanks for asking! I haven't written up this particular pattern yet, but it's on my to-do list. All of the actual patterns that I have made so far are available in my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/WildGingerWeavery
Yes! You can absolutely weave krokbragd on rosepath threading (the same threading as in all of my other videos). On a table loom, you will always be lifting 3 shafts at a time and leaving 1 shaft down. If you're interested, I've just posted a written pattern in my Etsy shop, which includes a row-by-row lift plan to use with table looms. Since krokbragd is traditionally woven with 3-shaft point twill threading, another option is to just use three of the shafts on your loom and leave the fourth empty. Directions for this are also included in my written pattern - link in description :)
Yes it is! The Multi-shaft Krokbragd pattern on Etsy gives written directions to accompany this video, along with charts and lift plans for both floor looms and table looms. A written pattern for krokbragd on a rigid heddle loom is also available separately.
Sorry to hear that! I wonder if this is what happened. There are two links in the video description. The first is an all-purpose post that gives generic directions for threading the loom for *all* of my mug rug patterns. The tie-up, however, can change from project to project. The second link tells you the specific tie-up to use for weaving krokbragd. If you used the tie-up in the first post, you're right - it would come out all wrong. I see how this could be confusing, and I hope this clears it up.
I was unable to wrap my head around this until I watched your video. Thank you! Can’t wait to get started!
Your explanation is so clear. THANK YOU.

Thank you for this video! Lots of great tips and clear explanations. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The best explanation and demonstration of krokbragd. Thank you.

Awesome, thank you! Krokbragd and danskbrogd are some of my favorite things to weave, so there will definitely be more videos coming. Stay tuned :)
Thank you for making this complex weaving technique simpler.
Thank you. Now I understand how the pattern is formed.
You are a wonderful teacher 💚💙💚💙
Well done! Your video helped me understand Krokbragd. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for such a great video!
I really liked your video and explanation of the weave structure. I was really sad to see you have not done any videos in a few months. I hope you start back up.
great technique for tucking the end of the new color!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a great video. I can't wait to start weaving this pattern.
Дуже Вам дякую.
Thank you so much for the pattern and instruction videos !!
So flippin beautiful!! May I use this pattern and colour scheme for knitting a cardi'? It would be so versatile; women and men as well as all ages. Thank you.
Go for it! I'd love to see the finished cardi :)
Very good explanation. Can you do Krokbragd on a 4 shaft counterbalance loom?

@@wildgingerhandweaving4171 thanks for your reply (and for your great tutorials)! That makes sense.

Thank you for this (And other videos!) Can you clarify? Are ALL Krokbragd woven in 3x repeat blocks?
I’m really enjoying your videos, thank you. Is there a link to the actual patterns please? Thanks!

@@wildgingerhandweaving4171 Thank you
This looks so interesting! I have a four shaft table loom, though, and I'm not quite sure how to set this up. Is the threading sequence the same?
Yes! You can absolutely weave krokbragd on rosepath threading (the same threading as in all of my other videos). On a table loom, you will always be lifting 3 shafts at a time and leaving 1 shaft down.

Is that the Multi Shaft Krokbragd Mug Rug pattern? @@wildgingerhandweaving4171
Yes it is! The Multi-shaft Krokbragd pattern on Etsy gives written directions to accompany this video, along with charts and lift plans for both floor looms and table looms.

Your draft was way off, i followed it and there were warp threads floating on top the entire length
