Narrow Band Weaving part 3: Weaving Techniques
Рет қаралды 14,688
Жыл бұрынThis final part in the intro series on Baltic Band Weaving is the actual weaving! So today we are going to go over the techniques I use to create a narrow warp facing band. This will include reading the pattern, weaving, picking up yarn and finishing the band.

Your beating tool looks like it was once part of a toy sword or dagger. I love seeing broken things being re-purposed. BRAVO!

That’s exactly what it was😂 from a childhood Nutcracker

Dana I’m so excited to see this set of videos. I’ve wanted this loom for a while but didn’t really see any videos that show a full project like this. I just placed mh order

Awesome! That’s kind of why I made the videos! Because I was looking too and sort of had to figure it out myself😉

To make sure that the weaving is a uniform width, you can add tape markers on the tool that tightens each pass, to measure against.

Once I establish the width I want, I fold a piece of stiff paper or cardstock around it and tape it into a sleeve. As I work I slide the paper sleeve up to gauge the width.

thanks for a some great tutorials! Now I will be able to design my own bands...I do have one question though...I am weaving on an inkle loom rather than a heddle...on the threading draft, are the holes considered heddle threads, and the slots unheddled? That will make it clearer to me when it comes time to thread my loom. thanks in advance for your reply

Yes! That's exactly right- "heddled" are the ones that remain "stationary"

Great videos for this type of band. Is there a pattern that we can print out to work with? Thank you.

Hi Nancy, I do not have printable patterns, but if you search "7 pattern thread Baltic Bands" then you might find some like this one: durhamweaver64.blogspot.com/2018/10/weaving-bands-with-7-pattern-threads.html

When you are 'picking up' the colored yarn, are you picking up ALL the colored yard, even the ones on the bottom? I kept tilting my head while watching your video thinking I could see in the weft to see exactly what you were picking up.. 😆

Yes, it's kind of hard to explain ha ha. The pattern is called a "pick" but you can "pick up" from below (the two patterned threads that are together to form a thicker or double thread. These are the ones that are below the Shed) or you can "push" down the two pattern threads that are showing above the Shed (the space created when you raise or lower the heddle). Does that make sense? Each "pattern thread" is really two that are strung together. If you haven't already, watch my "Warping the Loom" video which is Part 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idV8iJt2zJO8n6M.html

I'm just wondering if a loom like this could be used for tablet weaving, rather than using a rigid heddle. I think it looks like it could, but not entirely sure.
@danaharrisseeger 2 ай бұрын
Yes it can!!! Absolutely- you just put the warp through the tablets instead of the heddle
