It never ceases to amaze me just how detailed we can get when brocading while tablet weaving. This reproduction attempt was really fun to do! Although I am already brimming with more ideas for other projects.

I have been making vestments for my church, and they can use 15 or more meters of trim like this. I am just amazed at how time consuming it would have been in pre-industrial times to weave those quantities!

It is incredibly time-consuming! I do like the control I have with weaving over embroidery, but yes, fast it is not. 😅

I just began warping a Dublin dragons pattern on the inkle loom, so I was super excited when I saw the subject of your new video. Oh my goodness you used such incredibly fine and delicate thread! What a beautiful finished piece. Thank you for sharing - always enjoy whatever content you are putting out!

Also, I may have missed where you shared the information, but where did you get your beautiful wooden cards? I think I am ready to upgrade from paper cards, which I seem to wear out quicker than I would like.

@KristineVike Жыл бұрын

I got them from Gunnar Karro/Ampstreet on Etsy, but the shop has been empty for a long time now. There are other great artisans on Etsy too though! Make sure you get cards that are already waxed and polished and you will save yourself some heartache and broken threads. ❤️

Astoundingly beautiful. Oh my goodness. The Dublin/double dragons pattern (here in the US for whatever reason I see “double dragons” listed as the pattern name a lot) is my absolute favorite, too. Incredibly beautiful! Something about the white and gold color scheme makes me think of beautiful, ethereal elf weddings in a fantasy Tolkien-esque world 🧝🏻‍♀️

I honestly think if a you really want to do a pattern, give it a go! Motivation is such a great help, especially in the beginning. I might have preferred a thicker yarn when I was a beginner, but skill/weaving-wise, I really think brocade is a simple skill. :)
