This pattern, from the 8th to 10th century in the Staraya Ladoga area, about 120 km East of St. Petersburg, Russia, is one of the easiest period patterns ever. If you are a beginning tablet weaver, this is an excellent project to start on!
This video also features the use of the Schacht Spindle loom, Maurice Brassard 8/2 cotton yarn, and 3D printed cards from Rowanberry Jam on Etsy.
Tea is Melbourne Breakfast with milk.

Tablet Weaving Pattern Generator (TDD):
* jamespbarrett.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.
*Maurice Brassard 8/2, which I purchased at Woolery.com. Finer than the Maysville, and has a much softer hand.
* 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.

My mother Russian) tried to teach me this 40 years ago. I am so thankful for finding your channel. You are a fabulous teacher and now I get how to do this thanks to you. My mother has passed but I still have all of her cards and wooden hand made bobbins. Bless you

I’ve recently discovered the world of tablet weaving after a friend asked if I could make a woven belt for his renn faire garb. Your tutorials and historical knowledge have been a tremendous help in making learning a new craft less daunting and more enjoyable! Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise…it is immensely appreciated! (I’m still saving up for an inkle loom, but have a diy loom I’ve pieced together for the interim thanks to the local hardware store! 😂)

Hi, Elewys! As a SCA member (Kingdom of Northshield), I really appreciate the history and archaeological information you provide in your videos- in addition to the very excellent, detailed instruction. I’m looking forward to viewing more of your weaving adventures!!

I'm going to toss another complication for Ladoga--the stress is on the first syllable. So LAH-doh-gah. Same for Staraya. I know it's tough when you don't speak the language--I've mangled many a word over the years!

To keep the thread from falling into the gap of the tension peg I wrap a hair tie on the peg and the threads stay more centered.

If it makes you feel any better, if you hadn't pointed it out I don't think I would have even realized it was supposed to be Ladoga instead of Lagoda. 😅

Your loom looks exactly like the loom my husband made me! My base is the full length though.

I was starting to get sore from bracing my little loom against my stomach while pressing the weft down with the shuttle, so I came to watch your latest weave-along to see if perhaps I was doing this wrong. The real difference between learning through text and watching an expert here, I've been applying far too much pressure with the shuttle! Thanks for illustrating the method here!

@noeraldinkabam

If you put the slidable peg on it’s widest positiondoesn’t that take away the tensioning job it was made for?
