I am so glad that your video came up in the "you may like..." list. I've been wanting to learn tablet weaving since I attended my first SCA events just over 40 years ago, but when I had the time to learn, I couldn't find a teacher, and when I found a teacher, work and family obligations wouldn't allow me to take the class. Now I'm waiting for my tablet cards to arrive in the mail, and thanks to your video, I have a much better idea of why behind the how to manipulate the threads, and it will hopefully help me understand my weaving and not just blindly follow directions. Thank you so much! 🙂

I really appreciate how you chose to phrase and describe the key points at play, avoiding ambiguous terms or using one word to mean multiple different things - it really made all of this easier to follow

This is very helpful. I just could not figure out how tablet weaving worked and now it makes much more sense. I love the kitty cameos!

This is a great video! I teaching weaving on frame and table/floor looms and was asked a question about tablet weaving... something I had never heard about. So thank you for this instructional video, I'm going to give it a try!

Thank you for the great explanation. Do you know why tablet weaving is only used for narrow bands? Is it difficult to scale up?

@impendinglooms 15 күн бұрын

Ooo, excellent question! I have seen a post where a student did their final project (or maybe thesis?) creating a super-wide tablet woven piece, so it is possible. In my experience I think there’s a couple of reasons: 1. The number of tablets you have to manipulate becomes cumbersome and time-consuming. Tablets are great for small detail work. Much more than 2 inches wide you have to start moving the tablets in sections because they simply don’t all fit in your hands. There comes a point where a multi-shaft loom or pickup stick or tapestry bobbins become the better and faster tools for the job. 2. The finished fabric is 4 layers thick and tends to be a bit stiff. This works really well for sturdy straps, belts, and bands. A wide piece would turn out like a very dense, stiff rug. If that’s what you want, a bigger loom again becomes the better, faster, and easier tool.

I would like to learn how to do operate a loom like this so - subscribed. Btw How long does it take to set up for say a 3 colour tarten ?

@impendinglooms Ай бұрын

Thank you! I have plans to make a beginner basics video series for floor looms. How long it takes to set up is variable and depends on a lot of factors: thread type/size, project width, number of ends (individual threads), type of loom, weaver experience, if you have a helper, and more. It is the longest and (I think) most complex part of weaving. Mine can take anywhere from 8 hours to 24 hours from measuring the first thread to ready to weave. I rarely do it all at once, and usually break it up across several days or a couple of weekends. It’s the foundation of your whole project, and if it’s done well the weaving part is easy. I can teach almost anyone (including small children and inebriated adults lol) a basic weave in 5 minutes. Teaching to warp (the set up process) takes weeks or months of practice.

I feel like seeing your way of thinking is very useful for me as a beginner to develop my own critical and creative thinking! But truly, thank you for sharing your entire process.

How do I read Linda Hendricksons patterns. They don't seem to have a threading key.

@impendinglooms 2 ай бұрын

I’m planning a tutorial for the double turn double faced style of weaving she frequently uses. Thanks for the question! It made me realize I should show at least a couple different ways those patterns might be written. Linda Hendrickson has a PDF for sale on her website that goes into detail about her pattern instructions. I will need to get permission from her before sharing info about her copyrighted material. I may make a video tutorial on her method if she consents to it.

This is an excellent video. Thank you so much for your work. Also I have a question that maybe is not specific to the subject. I always use the GTT pattern, and I did a few years ago the same one you're showing on this video but I twist the cards. I don't remember if without twisting the cards I would have the same result but if it's not the case then the pattern is not showing you to twist the cards, right?

@impendinglooms 4 ай бұрын

Some people and patterns flip the cards (so card slant / becomes \ ) instead of changing turn directions. This does the same thing of reversing the thread order and changing the twist direction. It’s just a different technique that does the same thing, and some weavers prefer it. If the pattern is not showing up, one of the most common mistakes is that the S Z or the \ / are mixed up. Flipping/twisting the cards can correct that easily in many patterns.
