Thank you thank you thank you!!! The issue with the border card warp stretching out and becoming more slack than the rest of the pattern when I use swivels to unwind it has been driving me nuts!

I’ve wanted to try out card weaving and I’ve been researching so much for days now, and I wanted to thank you for sharing your expertise in such a simple and straight forward manner! It still seems very daunting, but you’ve eased my mind about trying it out! 🤗

When i click a card spot its making the whole row turn that color instead of the individual spots?

@KnowKnots 6 ай бұрын

It sounds like you don't have any turns of the cards set. If one card is showing all the same color then it hasn't been 'turned' and you're seeing just one holes worth of color.

Thanks a lot for this explanation. It is a simple GTT pattern but yet you showed all the details. I have been doing very easy patterns, up to now, where all the cards move 4 times forward and then backwards. I can start beautiful chevrons now.

Hi! How would you start off with swivels if I wanted to only rotate my cards upwards through a pattern?

@KnowKnots 10 ай бұрын

If you only wanted to turn in one direction you would still attach the swivels the same and just remove the twist more often

@anniequinting871 Жыл бұрын

Great instructions and super great idea! So is there a reason that you're doing four cards per key ring?

@KnowKnots 11 ай бұрын

No real reason other than keeping the amount of key rings to a minimum.

thank you very much for the demo, you explain it well, thank you for sharing. It's a bit difficult when I have to weave the pattern backwards, because then I have to flip the bordertablets and then weave them foreward, because the weft shows if I weave the border tablet backwards.

I know that this video was posted at least four years ago, but, I just came across it. I bought a new Schacht inkle loom recently and I would like to use your keyring-and-swivel method of eliminating twist. However, I am concerned about the metal damaging the pegs of my new loom. Has this been something that you have experienced? Anyone? I am ready to warp my loom. Should I only use swivels?

@tomthedespoiler 9 ай бұрын

This reply is 4 months after this question, just to keep the timeline intact. I also use a Schact inkle loom, and when I do card weaving it is very easy to advance the warp so that the swivels and keyrings (I actually use jewelry clasps so I can also unclip each card if needed) are never actually in contact with the pegs. Advance the whole warp until just before the metal gets to the peg, weave as much as you can, and make sure you don't advance the warp again until you are able to pass the metal bits past the peg and still have your next pick in the working area. It takes some practice, and with the Schact style inkle looms having their tensioner placed so that the working area shrinks as you weave, it sometimes gets really frustrating. I have ripped cards while turning because I didn't keep my swivels lined up when I started, so I had a much longer area I didn't want on a peg, which dramatically shortened the working area as well. Band weaving is cool, tablets are cool, go do some weaving.

@Caeleinn Жыл бұрын

I just started tablet weaving on an inkle loom and this is a fantastic idea! Going to have to go buy swivels and key rings now before I warp up for my next project; it's an all forward pattern, so I know the twist will get unbearable.

@dtaylor8151 Жыл бұрын

Excellent explanatory video. I was able to adapt the technique to an Inkle band that I am weaving. I didn’t need to worry about twist so didn’t use key ring or swivel. I needed to add a length of fine silk thread to one of my warp threads that was in the middle of the warp. I created a loop in the side near the beginning of the weaving and created the knot with the other end of that warp thread. I was a bit worried that the slippery thread would not hold firm, but I was able to get the Correct tension and it is holding steady! Thank you. Peace. D Taylor, DVM

I'm going to have to watch this at least several times because there are cards that are missing letters and that is confusing. Also a 'front', 'back' designation of the cards would be nice with the appropriate number of the gtt column written on the front of the card (and the letters), and this could help the viewer understand what the 'S' and 'Z' position looked like for the gtt column. Barring those items, I might be able to learn the gtt method from this video. Thanks for posting it.

I may just be sleepy, but how is the yarn/thread going to untwist when you've got them tied up like that?

That's what the swivels are for. They release the tension.

I'm just stumbling onto card weaving and want to try some patterns. Can someone tell me what the red line means in the pattern? The ones I've found on Pinterest have the GTT pattern and some have a red line that divides up the pattern and I have no idea what that means.

@KnowKnots Жыл бұрын

The line is where the pattern repeats and starts over at the beginning.

Nice! Another way to do this is a Finnish method called tuppilo selvage, where you lift all the warp threads of the edge tablets (two or more tablets) on the first side the shuttle passes through from each side. Demonstrated here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rquilrmB2MWwZo0.html

Thanks for the demo. This helps solve my problem especially when turning cards only one direction, such a tangled mess. The key ring is a great idea too. When I used to fix one trusted line it loosened the lines and sometimes messed up the neighboring lines. Excellent explanation!!

Excess twist is quite a nuisance and this seems like a great idea. I am wondering how you prevent a snarled mess from happening with the long ends of the adjustable knot? As the twist builds up and the threads turn so will the long ends. Also wondering if you find the knots slip and loosen as you work? Maybe I am not making the knot tight enough.

@KnowKnots 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, snarls can happen but I try and make the tails as short as possible or cut off excess to reduce tangles. As for the knot slipping, if you tie it tight enough I don't find it slips. The friction of the threads is usually enough to keep it from loosening.
