    To avoid the twist, you simply have to twist your yarn before to put it on your nail. I tried it and it works.

    Hi. The way to solve the twisting of the warp is...and you'll kick yourself for not thinking of it..... instead of going from left to right around the top pegs, go from right to left.
    Also, to save some yarn, but especially time, when you have finished the weaving instead of removing the weaving with your method, just get your crochet hook, remove two loops from the nails and pull the second loop through the first. Then take the next loop off and pull it through the loop on your hook. And so on... until there are no more loops on the loom.
    Voilà!

    Thanks so much for sharing your pin loom weaving. I have started a porject and am loving it. I fix the twisted warp problem by lacing the warp around the top pins (nails) anticlockwise (up on the right and down on the left.

Love the ways you explain and demonstrate, it helps me understand easily and clearly (I'm kind of having tiny brain, having a hard time to understand by just verbal explanations 😅) and enjoy watching your videos like I'm weaving along with you (but I'm actually not. haha) I'm very thankful and appreciate for your sharing and teaching knowledges of arts and crafts; especially, to the people who don't have background or basic skills, or foundation like me. Thank you again. By the way, you got very lovely family 🙂

    Hi, I'm really enjoying learning the many variations of weaving that I can do on my new Dewberry pin loom. You said if anyone knew how to avoid the twisted warp threads to comment. Well I have found that when putting on the warp (hope that's the correct term) thread on the top pins I wrap them around the pins from the right side of the pin, bringing it back to the bottom from the left side of the pin. Which is just the opposite of the way you are doing it in this video. I have no twists. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your great video.

    to prevent the twist you just need to go around the nail the oposite way, so instead of going over the top, right to left go left to right, you will stilll have a small twist at the bottom but i'm sure it will be easier to manage

  • @bluewolfdreams

    To keep the strands from twisting, when you are warping, just keep the same strand on top as you warp. Same strand on top, same strand on the bottom. It may get a bit twisty on the start of the weft as the strands are looser, but after about 3 or 4 passes, it'll keep it's evenness and won't be twisted. I have woven about 100 dishcloths on a Harrisville Loom. I don't understand the purpose of having the warp go across the bottom pegs though...I don't do that and my woven items turn out just fine. Can you tell me why this is done? Doing this seems to leave more space between squares. Since I don't do it, my projects have less space between squares so they are thicker and sturdier.

    • @DIYOnTheHouse
      @DIYOnTheHouse  2 роки тому

      Hmmm - I haven't thought of the warp on the bottom pegs. It has been a couple of months since I have made one of these, I will try it again, and see what I get! Thanks!

    You're using 2 strands. Are you using one ball of thread or 2? If using one, are you pulling from both ends? Im having a bard time wrapping my brain around how to use a cone of thread to make this project. Thanks for the great video! Im excited to get started.

    • @DIYOnTheHouse
      @DIYOnTheHouse  3 роки тому

      Yes, I used two strands. I have used a cone before, I just estimated how much yarn I would need for the warp and made a ball of yarn from the cone with that amount, then used both together. It worked great. Have fun - let me know if you have any more questions!

    You get the twist when you are threading the first "warp" threads! Watch your own video and you will see that you are crossing the "down" run over the "up" run by moving it over to the left on the nail. Instead of moving to the left, just keep the threads strait down on the right side of the nail.
