Hi Libby, I just watched your videos again. If you are thinking of doing any more videos, which I hope you will, I would really like to see one about how to adjust the warp, and weave, on the traditional Oseberg loom. I also really appreciated the three videos about measuring and designing a garment, and wished the series continued to the sewing and the finished garment. Also one about attaching trim/tablet weavings to garments would be really helpful! I ask all these because I like the way you explain things so they make sense. Thank you for what you have posted and hoping for more! Thank you, Henya

This is great!!! Thank you so much!!! This information is extremely useful! Clear, concise, thorough - perfect! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had learned about tablet weaving a couple years ago, and mentally put it on my “want to try this sometime” list. I was thinking of actually taking the next step, but the variety of looms was so varied, and the advantages/disadvantages of particular options unclear.

That was incredibly interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing this video! I've been interested in textile crafts for a long time and only in the last 3 years or so got interested in weaving. I thought that rigid heddle looms were the only real way to weave, then found inkle looms and now, so many more! I see that rabbit hole coming for me now....

hehe, I'm sorry? (not really - welcome to an amazing art form!!) You can weave on all kinds of things. My favorite loom for fabric is my Jane Louet loom, but I do these narrow bands on all kinds of things!

What about the belt looms that have one end tied to something stationary like a wall or a pillar, and the other end tied off to the weaver's belt? I've seen at least one painting showing that type of setup.

I have a question about one of the straight looms the one with the knobs on the top. That seems like the easiest one to build at home, so that's what I'm testing out. Do you have any historical information about that one? Does it have a special name and how long has that type been made? What are the quirks of using that one?

Do you have any suggestion on a tool of some sort to help you remember which direction you are turning cards? If I get interrupted, when I come back...I never remember! Someone used Ring of some sort but never explained how they used it in the video...it was just on the back tension peg...but I could not figure it out! Thanks!

Its more about learning to see the pattern as a reflection of the cards. I know that sounds vague :) but I'll work on a video explaining it a bit better. If I'm working a very complex pattern I use a magnetic ruler to keep track of where I'm at. If it's a simpler forward/backwards - I can usually tell right off or within a row. I'm a master un-weaver! lol

@EllisifGydasdottir
@EllisifGydasdottir Жыл бұрын
Dealing with twist is largely a matter of reversing the pattern. It is a big reason I prefer looms with a long working area. If a pattern has one or two cards that have to go forward all the time, I actually put them in bobbins and weight them off the back of the loom. Otherwise warp weighted is fantastic for high twist patterns

It stretches over time! I learned this lesson the hard way with brocade :). It won't hurt the band really, but if you're working with brocade designs you can end up with spacing between the brocade threads.

No, you can untwist each strand as needed because they're only attached tu the weight.

Absolutely fine to ask! How were your cards set up? If you're threaded all S or Z, bands will tend to twist or spiral. When you cut it off the loom, wash it gentley, fold in a towel to get rid of most of the water, then spiral wrap snugly on a plastic tube to dry. That helps flatten bands out

Are you still weaving? All of your videos are over a year old is why I ask. If so, could you show how the osburg looms are used? I've been using mine, but there's got to be an easier way, if this loom was invented in the middle ages. Somebody has to have come up with a better way than just wrapping and unwrapping to shift the work/warp.
