Tablet Weaving Pattern Generator (TDD):
* jamesba.github.io/tabletweave/
NEW How to use TDD: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmPy6...
Yarns:
* Maysville Carpet Warp, which can be found at several different weaving supply places (I often use WEBS at www.yarn.com). It comes in more than 70 colors on an 800 yard spool for about $9, so it can be used in a number of projects and the price is very reasonable.
* 20/2 or 60/2 silk from Eowyn de Weaver has recently moved her store from Etsy. Each cone is $30 and comes in 18 different colors. There are also small 100 yard spools that run $5 each and comes in more than 2 dozen colors. New web site! www.eowyndewever.com
* Pearl cotton, size 8, which can be found is most craft stores in a bunch of colors.
Sewing:
* I use 100% linen from Linen-Store.com in the IL019 weight for my tunics. The quality of their linen is very good, their prices are very reasonable and shipping is fast! Use "ILOVELINEN" in the discount code for an additional 7% off!
Cards:
* 2 1/2" wide (63 mm) made on a 3D printer, a pattern designed by my husband. Free downloadable patterns of other tablets are available on Thingiverse (this one is not my pattern--we are still working the kinks out of the design but these cards are Oseberg reproductions: www.thingiverse.com/thing:180...)
* 3 1/4" cards from Schacht Spindle Company, which run $8 for 25 cards. I love these because they are colored on the edges and they are thin but very durable. Similar cards are made by Lacis but without the colored edges.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Love the way the added yellow and white on the sides turned out. Subtle, but very pretty.

I'm rediscovering card weaving after learning how back when I was like 15.... almost 30 years ago.... I just got the Spriggs Floor loom and while it's no monster, it's pretty substantial! I just got it warped and am looking forward to getting it started. Thanks for the patterns, I've used a bunch already!

Beautiful! I love your opening music for your videos! Could you maybe do a short cutting off video when it’s finished and you cut it off the loom? Your first full size weaving on this monster is no small feat & we’d love to be able to celebrate it with you😁❤️

@MoniqueAO888 2 жыл бұрын

Even if you call the pattern simple, it's really beautiful...and I always enjoy your weaving, tips and tricks AND especially your hiSTORIES...Frohe Weihnacht aus Deutschland 🙂

Very nice! I tried my first tablet weaving using a back strap method, since I don’t have an inkle loom. It was a bit shaky, and there are quite a few mistakes, but overall a good first try. The thing that surprised me the most was how thick the band was. (I used cotton crochet string) somehow I thought it would be thin like fabric, but it’s more like five layers of fabric. Interesting!

I know what you mean. I was surprised by that too! Now I know why people use these for dog collars & leashes😉

I love that you are weaving on a big floor loom like that! I haven’t seen many people weaving on one of these, and I have one that is similar. Why didn’t I think of putting it on a table while warping it?! That looks so much easier on my back 🤣

Thank you! Such a simple pattern which turns out so pretty. And because it's so easily done, making miles of that braid isn't as taxing than a more complex one and can therefore be accomplished much faster. And it is great largesse indeed! My plan was to give woven braids to friends as presents once I'm a bit more practiced, shooks, here you are beating me to that! Well done!

What a huge inkle loom!!! I think I'm having loom envy...... I wonder how long it actually took you to warp the monster loom. That pattern is lovely. I might try that on the new loom that my boyfriend is making for me for Christmas this year. I'm so thrilled that I'll finally be able to weave along with you next time!!

Elewys, could you please provide a link to your video which describes how to flip the cards to untangle the warp threads? I could use a refresher. Thanks!

If you had skipped that first middle row and used 2&3 not 1&2 you would have come up your tension knob to 1 and across and used all :)

I have heard this type of inkle loom called a floor inkle. I use the smaller lo do regular Inke weaving. Took a card weaving class once but my brain couldn't wrap itself around the technique. Love the patterns. Maybe I'll give it another try someday.
