Welcome to Duelling Rabbits - the channel all about handweaving on drawlooms. My mission is to share my passion for these amazing looms and the cloth they make possible - with lots of info about drawloom mechanics; woven structures; and issues arising. Whether you're new to drawlooms, an old hand, or just curious about weaving I hope you'll join me in my exploration of these endlessly fascinating machines.

Thank you Amy, I have just taken my glimakra to being a Drawloom. Watching your videos have really helped me to understand the setting up process. I was struggling a bit with the written instructions but you have made it so clear. So excited to get started.

Caroline, I'm excited for you! I'm glad the vids have been helpful. I hope you'll share pics of your weaving - I know you and your new drawloom will be very happy together.

This type of loom is blowing my mind! I'm just getting proficient on the rigid heddle and starting to daydream about future fabric I might make. The amount of detail one can do with this loom is dizzying lol

Drawlooms are amazing, it's true - but they are not as far removed from rigid-heddle weaving as you might think. Enjoy your weaving journey!

Oh, my, this could be a dangerous rabbit hole to venture down. I've done a little weaving on a rigid heddle loom, and acquired a Leclerc Compact floor loom a little while back that I'm almost through setting up. There's something about the style of the Glimakra Standard loom that appeals to me. I've been eyeing them for a while now. I've seen the term drawloom here and there, but had no idea what they were or what type of fabric they could produce until I stumbled across your channel. I love the types of fabrics you show drawlooms are capable of. I need to start playing the lottery so I can afford a drawloom, and a larger house to put it in. :-)

Congratulations on your new baby and welcome to the joys of shaft floor looms. There is so much to explore! I wish you many happy years with your Leclerc. The Standard is also a great loom and if you get a chance to try one out that will tell you a lot about whether it would be a good fit for you. As for drawlooms, well, for a certain kind of weaver they can become quite an obsession. Glimakra now offer a small drawloom attachment and extension for their Julia - it requires less room and is not nearly as $$$ as the full-blown catastrophe. Just something to file away for the future ... 😉

I'm not sure if you remember me, we had a short discussion the other day about the ability to weave damask on a countermarch loom. I can't find a good description of the difference between a Dutch Vs a Swedish loom, this may be a fun video topic, Diving into the technical differences between the two. Regardless I am interested if you either know somewhere i could find this or if you would be able to help me in my quest for knowledge. I do know you are quite knowledgeable and very willing to share, and I really appreciate all your content.

Thank you, this is amazing. I covet a draw loom but simply don’t have the space. I am considering a 16 shaft table loom, however, in order to create simple drawn designs not possible on my 8 shaft floor loom. If you could demonstrate draw weaving on a table loom sometime, that would be wonderful.

Well, drawlooms do take up a lot of real estate - there's no getting around it. Having said that, you can probably tell my Glimakra is shoehorned into a room the size of a closet. You can do a lot with a 16-shaft table loom, however, and you'll have a lot to explore. I don't have a table loom myself, but if I ever get one, you can be sure videos will soon follow!

Yikes, how do you warp such a thing, and how long would that take? I would love to see that. I use floor and table looms, plus a rigid heddle, but I've never seen a drawloom. I look forward to more from you. Thanks for sharing.

Yikes indeed! Although really it's just one step at a time, as with any other loom - just more so ;-) If you have some time to spare and are so inclined, check out the 4-vid 'From Inspiration to Finished Object' playlist, which documents all the steps for weaving a damask scarf on a drawloom. Lots of juicy details about how these looms are set up for weaving.

@@DuellingRabbits yes I've gone back and have been watching them. I remain overwhelmed by it all, but it's getting a little bit clearer. Thanks for your clear teachings. I wish i could see it in person!

Just found you! Thank you! This is my goal to have a draw loom, I am just obsessed with the designs. I will be watching this channel closely and followed your insta. Are there any good discussion forums for drawlooms? I see there is a facebook group, just wondering what you think.

Awesome - I think every weaver should have a drawloom in their collection. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to help. The FB group ‘Drawloom Dreams’ is quite active and an international who’s who of enablers, inspirers, and novices too. Another group I like is the drawloom forum on Ravelry. A lot of the same folks but more guidance at a beginner’s level can be found there in my experience. That’s where I was most active when I first got up and running. Both groups are incredibly valuable resources.
