***UPDATE TO THE ORIGINAL TUTORIAL: For OPTIMAL WEAVING (especially for beginners), CREATE AN UNEVEN/ODD NUMBER OF SPOKES. In this video we create 24 spokes, but 23 or 25 spokes for a hoop this size (for example) will give you the most versatility and accomodate most projects that rely on creating stitches that are strictly circular (i.e., move around and around your loom). (Thanks to an eagle-eye viewer for spotting this in the original video!) Happy Weaving, Jelica

Brilliant video👍

Thank you!

Nicely done-I've got a 10 inch embroidery hoop for a beginner's project and hope to continue with a larger metal hoop. I'm choosing cranberry and blue yarn and brown and white polyester fill to add depth for the 10 inch.

Thank you! I like adding depth in my projects as well. It sounds like you've got some lovely yarn to work with. Happy weaving :)

Ok 🎉

Hello, if we use an embroidery hoop, doesn't that mean we can't remove the outer circular frame upon finishing our project? Wouldn't it make sense to use a brass hoop? Because don't we have to buy an embroidery hoop for every project?

You can use any hoop you wish for your project. Many people use the embroidery hoop as to use in the finished piece (as I've done many times) because it adds a charming, unexpected element to the final project. But you can choose to use brass or any other hoop that you prefer. The sky's the limit, as they say.

What size of warp string

@APrettyFix

I typically use 1mm warp string, 100% cotton for all my weaving projects.

Why is there an even number of strings..when doing plain weave going around and around, it doesn't work properly

Hi Karen, Yes, you are right. If you are only using plain weave and/or only weaving round and round in circles, you should warp an uneven number of warp strings. I was remiss not to mention that. Thanks for the correction. (However, there are many ways to weave using a circular 'loom' including weaving horizontally, weaving in sections, etc, in which case, it does not matter as much. It all depends on one's preference and design.). Thanks for your comments, as I'll need to correct that in my instructions in the future.

@APrettyFix I weave different techniques also and incorporate plain weave, I have noticed there are many videos on circular weaving, however not one,yet, has mentioned the odd number of threads. Of course then the warping and calculations of where warp strings would be placed would be different. Don't feel bad lol. I have 2 books that don't mention it either. HAPPY weaving!
