Excellent except for one thing - the background 'music' is extremely distracting and make it difficult to hear what the presenter is saying.

I have been watching various tutorials/demonstrations all morning. Some stretched on FOREVER and I still felt I didn't have a handle on how the loom works. Yours was the clearest video so far and did it in 10 minutes. Thank you!

Excellently done! She only speaks what needs to be spoken, thus allowing the learner to really process information. Music is relaxing and unobtrusive. Someone really knows how to teach a process-driven skill!.

I took a riddle weaving class several months ago and am just now getting my new loom out of the box so I couldn't remember how to get started. Thanks for a GREAT video to refresh my mind and get me started on my first project on my own!

Thank you so much for this video. I had no idea weaving on a table top rigid heddle loom would be so easy. I think this is going to be my next craft to master.

Thank you Kate for a great domonstration of this RH loom, you make it look so easy! I am excited to try it myself.

Thank you Kate for explaining this process in an easy and concise manner. This will be my “go-to” video for warping my Ashford RH loom. I have completed my first sampler and wish to weave something more useful.

Loved this video. You mentioned you "might need a friend to help" when you wind the warp (to keep decent tension on the warp when you wind) This is one of the biggest challenges in the process; keeping the tension right without asking someone to help. I searched the Internet for a solution to this issue, but never found anything. So, I came up with the "Solo Warper" and my partner built it for me. Now I have no issues with winding. Works perfectly on any warp length. Instead of using a warping peg that attaches to a table (and can slip off at the worst times possible,) you simply place the Solo where you want the warp to end, (no table or clamps needed,) loop the warp ends on the main peg, secure it with a cross dowel when you're finished and then start winding. The Solo has wheel brakes that you can adjust, to keep the right tension on regular floors or carpet. Wind until the main dowel touches the outside of the loom (which is the perfect length to leave for threading), cut the yarn and then thread the heddles. Winding the warp took a fraction of the time with perfect tension and, more importantly, no 'yarn accidents that take hours to untangle.' Finally, a solution for solo weavers.....

Oh my goodness thanks so much for this!! I have had a loom like this since childhood and have never really used it because I had no idea how. I kept it for years and years and now I can actually warp it and weave on it!! Amazing!!!

Your video has really helped me get over the hump and warp up my loom! Thank you so much for this clear video.

Love your explanation. Was just lent a rigid heddle today with beautiful threads. I look forward to getting to set it up on Wednesday with my daughter.

Excellent demonstration. I built a 12x14 loom and was looking for info on adding a heddle and how it would work, and your video answered lots of questions. Many thanks.

so nice to see someone able to explain things clear and simple

This is by far the best and most easily explained tutorial yet. Thank you

Fantastic video!! I've watched 4 so far just trying to figure the warping process and this was by far the most clear, best visually for detail, concise and precise tutorial. I've got a Kromski that came with no instructions at all (despite their video that claims it comes with a DVD).

What a wonderful video! It all looks a lot easier than I ever imagined. Thank you so much for the demonstration.

That was one of the best explanations of warping and using a rigid heddle I have seen. Brilliant 😌

Thank you for the close-up on threading the heddle!

I was given a loom like this, and am so glad you are there to show me how to dress it!

I just got my 24 inch Ashford RHL and I am so excited. Earlier in the year, I bought a used RHL (not an Ashford) to see if I really liked weaving. I did but I had issues with the other loom. I have been saving up and finally dove into the deep end and made my purchase! I love the side rollers! So much better than my vintage Beka.

Thank you for your excellent video. I bought a different brand but had to use your instructional video to figure it out! I'm very appreciative to Ashford for this well done resource. I'll look at your products first in the future!

Thank you, Ashford crew! I have 24" Ashford RH loom and weave once in a while. Your video is very helpful and I liked the tip on tying the ends to the front beam with the string. Will try it for sure. I noticed that I do have tension problems if I warp my loom for wide cloth myself.

I have been wanting to get into weaving & spinning since I was a kid, I have been doing allot of research on it for the past few years & I am all but financially ready to get started & this video was so helpful I thank you so much for doing this video.

I have watched 3 previous videos and yours is the first one I can actually understand!!!! Thank you! I feel a ray of hope!!!!!

Great Informative Video.My daughter questioned me 'How hand loom Works ?' This cleared all her doubts and gave her delight of knowing the method of weaving.

I have no deep passion for looming but this video really helped me to understand the concepts behind it, thank you.

I've never watched that done before! It sure was easy to dress the loom! It looked like a fun, portable loom to use. I liked that! Thanks!

Thank you so much for so clearly demonstrating the RH loom! Tried RH weaving many years ago before you-tube but couldn't get the hang of it... just received a 12" Knitters Loom for Christmas and am looking forward to getting started!!!

Thankyou for demonstrating this. I have first started just making a mug rug using a handmade cardboard loom. Then I remembered I had a knitting loom that doubled as a frame loom or tapestry loom. As a child I had a toy heddle loom that I really enjoyed making little things with. I think I would very much like to have a heddle loom. my husband will have his teaching certificate by September and already has a position available so I’m looking forward to purchasing one then. But I’m having fun learning on the 28” tapestry loom at the moment. I have the bug for sure

Thank you! Lovely and clear, got myself set up and going on my new loom :D

I saw the demo of this loom at Rhinebeck, I fell in love on how simple it is, I plan on getting this in the 20", and I'm saving this video in my favorites, thanks so much! :D

Very nice, thank you. I like your method of spreading the warp threads at the beginning.

thank you so much! I now feel confident in warping my loom and have saved money on a warping board!

I am thinking about a table top type loom and you have made the instructions so easy to understand I think I will be able to forgo the hefty fee for a class. You were very clear in your instruction and went slowly enough for a newbie to follow along. Your explanations as to why you were doing each step was very helpful. You have made something that seemed very complicated, very easy. Thank you very much.

Wonderful tutorial, the best I've seen on youtube to date. Thank you so much for posting this. I'll be sharing it with my rigid heddle weaving group on facebook.

I just received my Ashford 32" your video is the best one so far I've come across to set up my loom. I can't wait to try it out but I'm having Hubby stain it first then assemble it. BTW the music doesn't bother me for you are doing a great job just watching you...Thank You!!!

This is *great*. The explanation was very clear, and the technique of getting the tension even among all the knotted one inch groups is much simpler than what I was doing. Thank you!

Thank you a lot for providing all those videos! Can't wait to purchase one! :)

I am a spinner and would like to start weaving. Your video is great! I have an Ashford Kiwi and will probably go with Ashford for a rigid heddle loom as it looks like I can handle it!! Thank you

Very clear and helpful, thank you very much!

Brilliant explanation at last! I've searched and searched and now I get it. Thank you.

Thanks for this video. I´m looking for info about Ashford Rigid Loom, it seems really great and your video explains a lot (but I´m agree, the background music doesn´t let hear clearly your wonderful voice)

Hi Nic, Yes it really is that easy to set up and start. You can even go further than the standard plain weave and add a double heddle kit and make blankets twice as wide as your loom.

It looks so accurate and beautiful, very good explanation for a beginner like me. Thank you

Thank you for this! I just got this loom yesterday (minus the heddle hook), and I'm looking forward to my first project. Your video makes it look fairly easy. I've done only narrow weave so far.

@rigidheddleweaving Thanks! It is great to hear such positive feedback. I love your suggestion for solo warping too, will add to our FAQ's. Happy weaving :-)

You make it look so simple. Now I want a heddle.

Great video. Got us off to a ripping good start with a new loom.

There's a lot of camera angle changes and such that make this much easier to understand than other videos I've seen, thanks!

you sweet angel!!!! this is the best video on warping a rigid heddle loom. very easy to understand and complete. thank you x a million for posting this!

This video is awesome. Glad you showed how to use multiple colours.

Many quick and simple tricks. Thank you so much!

Мне очень нравится ткачество на станке. Нравится, как работают специалисты, есть чему поучиться, даже не зная языка. Я показала ребятам 5 класса на внеурочных занятиях как ткать на бёрде. увлеклись даже мальчики. Бёрды мы делаем из бумажных трубочек - самый простой и доступный инструмент для ткачества. Оказывается это очень популярный и востребованный вид рукоделия.

Very helpful video, and I like the music.

This is just what I needed. Thank you very much!

GREAT Vid - I just recieved the 24" rigid heddle for my birthday - I am going to do this today! :) BTW the loom is so beautiful - I just love the feel of the wood.

This is my go to video before I start all new projects, better to refresh my memory than screw it up! Thanks for your help! I appreciate it greatly! 😊

Thank you for this! I am weaving because of this video! So clear!!

謝謝分享，看到它前製作業的過程注重細節就可以看出端倪。 之後織布機再操作時就顯得很流暢，簡單雙色系搭配的布匹看上去就挺好看呢。

What a super video! Thank you so much.

Thank you for this! It's very clear, and got me through my first project very well. I'm watching it again, to start my next project (by the third, I think it will be second nature). Tips on warping up the loom by oneself would be very good, though!

Howdy, this was a lovely and thorough instructional. Thank you for sharing.

Loved the video. Got some great tips. Thanks!

Beautiful ... Hermoso trabajo el tuyo, congratulations !!!

Hi, keeping in mind that even if your weaving on the loom is the full 32" wide - once you wash and full it, it will no doubt be slightly smaller. :-) Kate

I wish I had found this video when I did my first warping! Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you!

Hi lindsaym1023, Yes the 32" refers to the weaving width of the loom. Actually if you get the 32" loom and a second heddle kit you could weave double width - so you could do 64" wide. Thanks, Kate

Thank you for this video, it´s makes me easyer ( my english is not so good :) ) to teach it my daughter. thx from Germany.

Could you do a video using your knitters loom please? Ps-love the videos guys keep up the good work xo

You are amazing artist, your scarf is beautiful.

TY! I have a cricket loom and tension problems were incessant. This solved it. Especially when using silk yarns.

This is so beautiful!

My go-to video when it’s been a while and I forgot the entire process by heart

Thanks Amy Wilson, glad it is helpful.

@wishwondersurprise1 Hi, the loom used in the video is the 16" loom. They are available in 16", 24", 32" and 48" wide. The 24" is the most popular size. Happy weaving!

Thank you so much for all your videos, I watch them over and over... you are awesome.

Awesome i'm in love with weaving!

Hi Lina, Yes the scrap yarn just pulls out. Easy as. Thanks, Kate

รวย​ๆ​เฮง​ๆ​ปัง​ๆ​ ติดตาม​แล้วจ้า​ ติดตาม​ยาย​ด้วยจ้า มิสนี​แซ่​บเวอร์​ ขอบคุณ​มาก​

Excellent video. Clear and concise!

great video , thanks very mooch, I am teacher in Colombia, I going to show to my students. gracias

ME ENCANTO!!!!! MUY BUENA EXPLICACION!!!! GRACIAS!!!

so clear and helpful. thank you!

I love the way she makes the knots by a simple move of fingers

Замечательное видео! Всё чётко и по делу! Спасибо!

Thank You very much for this video! It is very important!

Thanks a lot for this helpful video. Great!

Thank you very much do some of these books will they come for beginners because I think that's might be what I will start out with

thank you for a demo of weaving. The set up time is the longest component of the weaving. That's why handloom weavers find it difficult to complete with machine looms manufacture. They live in poverty.

Hola, gracias por compartir tu trabajo no entendia muy bien como trabajaban estas maquinas con tu video me quedo super claro, gracias nuevamente y vivan los telares!!!! :):):)

thanks for making this! super easy to follow. :)

Thank you so much. I cant wait to start.

Hi, if you watch the "spreading the warp video" (link in the description above) you will see you can just pull it out at then end. Happy weaving! :-)

Great video! I just bought an ashford rigid heddle loom and got the double heddle kit. Is there a video anywhere which would show me how to use it to create blankets double the width of my current loom?

i realy love the explication, it´s great

thank you so much this was very helpful

hi loved the video very informative,just had my loom to day and was able to set it up right away, just one comment, i am a little deaf but the louder i had the sound the louder the incessant music, didn’t need it would have been brilliant without it..thanks

Thank you so much!! You are AWESOME!!!

very inspiring... Fantastic Session for Beginners.. Thanks

Adorei muito, principalmente esse tear é o máximo
