Keep coming back to this tutorial. Thank you for a no-frills example of how to do a clean, fringle-less edge. :) Would be really fun to see a video on weaving materials that you've enjoyed using and come to rely on over your weaving journey!

Thank you for your lovely comments and suggestion. While I do have a video on general weaving supplies/tools, I have yet to delve into those tried and true weaving materials that I've enjoyed using most. Will have to add that to my topics list - thank you!

Such a beautiful way to finish. Will this work on a rigid heddle loom scarf, or should I start with a hemstitch first?

@APrettyFix 6 ай бұрын

Hi Barb! This is purely opinion as I don't use a rigid heddle loom: It all depends on your style preference. If you want a scarf with fringe, then stick to using the hemstitch as this will allow you to leave a few inches of warp beyond the stitch to create a bit of fringe. But if you prefer no fringe, then go with the half damascus as this will bind off the edges (no need for a hemstitch). That said, if you prefer the look of the hemstitch AND don't want fringe, you will need to add in one extra step: be sure to weave the remaining warp strings (that extend past the hemstitch) back into the scarf as a final step. The hemstitch itself does not bind off the edges like the half damascus stitch does. Experimentation is all part of the fun. Good luck!

@1viridis Жыл бұрын

Thank you again! This video is my go-to for the Half Damascus stitch. Question: if you were going to combine two woven pieces for a scarf, would the Half Damascus be a good way to finish off edges before stitching them together, or would the Half Damascus be likely to easily pull apart?

@APrettyFix Жыл бұрын

Good question. I would be concerned about that as well. My opinion? Be sure that you are catching parts of the weaving (just past the half damascus edge) as you stitch the pieces together. This will ensure that the pieces do not have a chance of pulling apart.

When you wet finish do you tie the damascus knots before or after wet finishing?

@APrettyFix Жыл бұрын

@@susankaplan4557 here are a few sources/suggestions: Besides heading to my local craft store (like Michaels), the best place to find thicker yarns is on Etsy (Etsy.com) simply because of the sheer variety of shop owners who sell a large variety of yarn thicknesses, including unique handspun varieties. I will list a few shops and then suggest search terms that usually help me when I'm looking. SHOPS: LoomAndFibre (that's my Etsy shop): loomandfibre.etsy.com I sell bulky yarn and roving. It's a very small batch right now, but you may find something there. UnfetteredCo on Etsy: unfetteredco.etsy.com The owner is a macrame artist, but sells yarn that you can use for weaving, including handspun and chunky yarn. Divinity Fibers on Etsy: divinityfibers.etsy.com She has lots of varieties, including thicker and variegated yarns, and roving, too. TIPS for Searching On Etsy: I will typically go on Etsy and search for "super bulky yarn" or "chunky yarn" or "art yarn" and a number of options pop up. Not all are useful, but I've discovered some great shops that I would not have known about, otherwise. Oh, and something I'm just now exploring is searching out "Core Spun Yarn" on Etsy. As you'll see, there are a wide variety of thicker yarn with texture. This is just a start, but I hope it's useful :)

I’m looking for a warp/weft finish for a non fringe edge on a double sided rug. Can you suggest one?

@APrettyFix Жыл бұрын

The easiest method that I can think of is to knot the warp strings (2 at a time) along the bottom and then weave them back into the rug by burying the warp strings. This won't create a finish, but it will be a fringe-free rug that works as a double-sided option. Here is a sample link that shows the fringe-free option plus a couple of others, too: yarnworker.com/finishing-tips-for-rugs/

@bettspassmore4248 3 жыл бұрын

thanks for the video and the link in your email. I have used this before on my learning samplers and had forgot about it. Would you use this method on placemats instead of hemming with a sewing machine?

@APrettyFix 3 жыл бұрын

Good question. My opinion? If you decided to use the half damascus on placemats, then hemming is not necessary. You should be able to hand wash them and it should still hold up just fine.

Great instruction, thank you for posting this fringeless technique. At the end, when you thread the remaining warp onto the curved needle, would it be possible to hide the whole warp thread under the weft rows (instead of having the end stick out for cutting)?

@APrettyFix Жыл бұрын

The one way that I can think of is to skip the Damascus Edge technique altogether and simply weave the warp threads directly back into the the weft (as you've hinted at in your question). You won't have any detailing along the edge and the warp threads should not show through (or hardly at all).

I have not tried this on coasters, but I don't see why not. It's a good, solid technique that's sometimes used for rugs, which get a lot of wear and tear.
