Hahaha thank you!! 😂

Oh!! Those a great ideas! I'll have to look into those and "upgrade" my salad bowl 😄 Thank you!

Your comment is touching me deeply. I'm glad to know that my videos could help a little bit 🧡 I wish you so much fun in this new hobby! I'm sure your dishtowels and colorful scarves will be wonderful 😄

Thank you! 😄

Thank you so much 🥰 the next video should be out in a few weeks!

Thank you! Part 2 is coming soon 🥰

How is the feel of this cotton compared to Maurice Brassard cotton?

So far, I'd say pretty similar. I think I'll have a better idea once it's off the loom and wet finished

Thank you!! I can't wait to share it with you 😊 the next video should be out in a few weeks 😁

Oh wow!! I'm so impressed! I would love to see your loom 😃 And I'm glad to know that you managed to adapt the pattern, that awesome 🥰

Sure! I have an Ashford 32" (80cm) rigid heddle loom. With this width, I manage to weave baby blankets, scarves and of course dishtowels 😊 let me know if you have any other question!

Hahahah!! I'm so glad you are enjoying my puns 😂 I'm really proud of this one hahah! Thank you!

Yes, it is! I sticked pieces of craft paper onto the strips of cardboards that came with my loom. I find that it helps to put he craft paper in place.

Btw I didn't find where I can buy you a coffee.

Hi Deb! Actually, I singled my warp threads. I pulled only one loop in each slots while direct warping. Then, I put one thread in each holes and left one thread in the slots. I hope this helps 😊

@@Curly_n_Yarny Thanks for the clarification. :) Oh, and I did find your coffee page. :)

I just saw! Thank you so much 🥰

Hello Mike! I'm glad to hear from you again 😊 I hope that you are doing well! That is one big question! I don't have the perfect answer, but I do have a few insights to help you in your decision. First of all, I agree that it is easier to use the rigid heddle loom, especially when it comes to warping. It can be done quickly: threading the heddles and slaying the reed are made simultaneously! You mention having problems with your heddles on your Dorothy loom. Another great thing about the rigid heddle is that the heddles are rigid! Haha! this means that they will not move around or slip as we try to thead them! So yes, you might find that easier. Plus, the plastic is white and I find that this helps seeing the holes and slot more clearly. As for the options of patterns, I understand your concern. Rigid heddle looms are typically designed for plain weave. This being said, many weavers add heddles or heddle rods and still manage to create 4-shaft pattern on their loom. But of course, this is more complicated. If you decided to stick with the plain weave, well there are still a lot to do and experience. I believe that there are many different color plays that can be done! Also, intricate design can be done with a simple pickup stick. Coming from a 4-shaft loom, you might feel limited at first, but I believe that there are always ways to be creative and have fun with it (plus I have a few cool patterns on my channel 😄) Do you know which kind of yarns you wish to use for your dishtowels? Depending on the weight, it might be necessary to invest in a new heddle right from the beginning in order to allow the weaving of finer yarns. I often weave my towels with 8/2 cotton. I have used my 10, 12.5 and 15 DPI heddles for that. Those all give different results, and I love them all. Still, to use the 10 and 12.5 heddles, I double my warp. This gives a bit of a basket weave effet. That's a lot of information and I feel like I just scratched the surface 😅 there are a lot of things to consider when buying a new loom. And I might be biased, but I love my rigid heddle loom 🩵 I hope this helped you! Let me know if you have any other questions 😊

Hi! That's a good question! I thought I explained it in one of my video, but I can't find which one 🙃 In my opinion, the "over and under" rule is mostly a way to explain how to manage the warp thread around the apron. Like a way to vulgarize whay to do with the thread. But, if this doesn't speak to you, keep in mind thst what is really important is that the warp thread needs to go around the back apron. Normally, it would go once over, once under, but always around. Myself when I warp, I mainly focus on making sure it goes around the apron. If the thread doesn't go around the apron, then it has nothing to hold onto. You could then see your loop grabbing onto your heddle instead than onto the apron. I believe that there are as many ways to warp a loom as there are weavers! What works for one doesn't always work for another. Just like the "over and under" doesn't help me so much but surely helps others 😄 I hope my explanation could help you! Let me know of anything wasn't clear!

@@Curly_n_Yarny Hi! thanks for answering. I just finished warping my next little project, I'm experimenting with different yarns, dents etc., and this time made sure to 'over under'. What I see is the tension in the up and down sheds is consistent and even, unlike the previous one that I referred to where the tension in the down shed was loose. So no need to insert anything to make up for the slack. Much better weaving that way! Thank you again.

That's awesome!! I wish you lots of fun weaving this new project 😊
