It really is amazing how abundant fabric is now. The amount of effort that went into making it before technology took over a lot of the work is admirable.

To be fair, back in the old days, many commoners had only two to three changes of clothes, patching and passing clothes down (for kids) was a common thing, and getting new clothes was something done for very special occasions only. So even though the labor took longer, they didn't necessarily have to spend more time on it.

To be fair, machine woven fabric doesn’t compare to the quality of hand woven stuff. Hand made fabric is also sturdier and lasts significantly longer, as well as it can be made so fine it just doesn’t fray.

​@@Hi-og5ow man, that's not true. machine made fabric can be as strong or as weak as you like, it's just that machine made fabric is cheaper, so machines are often used for making cheap, weak fabric

I have a Fiber Arts degree.... this brings back so many memories. Warping takes FOREVER... Almost more than the actual weaving.

Just in fiber arts? Never heard of that. Ok . Maybe at FIT. Or select art schools. ... And now that I think about it, technical universities in Europe. .. Ok. Nevermind. I HAVE heard of that. I don't have the patience for fiber arts. Far too intricate and repetitive for my easily bored brain. And I would never complete warping.

The knitting group is like "lol n00b!"

FTR though knitting was originally a man's hobby, done during the doldrums and the long ocean trips by sailors on ships. It's still considered a masculine or at least non-gendered hobby in some parts of the world. A couple years of ago, I was watching a documentary on some famous male snowboarders in Scandinavia and in their spare time, it showed them - a few tall, built, young men - knitting scarves and caps for fun in their living room. The host - an American - thought they were putting him on but no, this was their regular way of relaxing.

Seeing the knitting group brought back so many memories. When I was little my grandma (who lives next door so I can always see her) taught me how to knit. Just the past week I also taught my friends how to knit for a project in school. Now I wanna go over and hug her, but she's probably sleeping ;,)

Hope to see more, this was great, lovely to see the chap have a go at weaving and knitting. My dad used to weave and I followed him. Also knitting. Not many men these days knit or weave. I have taught a few people over the years and only one male wanted to learn these skills, the rest were females. More should be done in schools.

You should definitely have your own tv show

I definitely appreciate all the modern inventions way more now! I can't imagine all the work people used to do just for the simplest of items. I'm watching 'Naked & Afraid' thinking how hard would it be for them to make their own screen/mesh/mosquito net? Apparently, very hard!

On the first part of your knitting, I recognised myself when I tried to learn hand knitting. The lady next to me was so confident and skilled, and there was me fumbling the needles and making much more of a mess than you did.

man, sewing should be it's own video too.

aww he is so adorable reminds me of a lil kid

Oh my god. The series went from 100 to 10,000! Hunting deer?! Shearing an alpaca?! Holy crap that's gonna be a lot of work @_@

I love the "discovery" music during the weaving scenes.

Really GREAT series. Loving it so far. Can't wait for more.

The challenging work is up front. Once the warp is on without error the weaving is easier. The concentration is less. Weaving is a good opportunity to work in the flow state. It’s rhythmic. This video is a start on how so many things come together after a sheep, alpaca, is shorn, washed, combed, spun into yarn and woven, knitted and many other ways can be turned into a useful cloth. It is endless, the learning for where the differing skills intersect. KZread videos, if you find ones that teach the way you learn.

22 views?! This stuff is golden! Keep it up, and spread the word everywhere! Hope to see much more ;)

Weaving looks so satisfying

such a good show deserves alot more views than it gets. keep making videos HTME

As a kid, I picked up knitting because I was bored and my grandmother and cousins took it up so I joined in. I was okay at it, in terms of the sewing at the last bit. I made a navy sailors hat out of a pant that was Abit too long for me.

I love this series SOOOOOO much

I love this channel and this guy learning all these things is amazing. He needs a show on the discovery channel

Wow, someone's guild has a ton of looms!! Weaver checking in. (I bought a new 15dent Reed today)

This is the best channel ever! I'm looking to make my own fabric for an interior architecture assignment and this video has been so helpful. I'll definitely be searching through your videos a lot as I've become really interested in making my own everything pretty much and I've got an entire design fabrication workshop at my disposal for the next 3 years. If you have a patreon or anything of the like I'll definitely become a supporter.

What resources did you use to learn how to make your own fabric?

Lol.. Fellow Minnesotan loving the videos. FYI on the knitting, there are knitting looms and knitting machines you could use also.. Though if you're trying to keep it kind of historical, I have no idea when these things were invented. I loom and machine knit a bit.. Still not able to needle knit. :-)

I wanted to actually see him do everything and see the finishing project

this is such an awesome series

Bro you went all in

Truly a Renaissance Man

this is fantastic and I enjoy it immensely

A lady down the road from me has one of those big weaving machines in her living room. It's crazy, lol. I haven't gotten the chance to try it, though I did a small weaving project in art class in fifth or sixth grade. I prefer to crochet or knit and I actually plan to try hand-spinning soon.

This is one effortful video. Thanks for the efforts u put in.

I understood how loom works after I watched this video. Thank you!

They make knitting seem so much harder than it actually is XD it's a simple rhythm once you learn it, and you can mindlessly knit all day :D

This is fantastic, you should be on tv!!! I'd watch you on discovery channel any day. Hey discovery channel, pick up his show!

the thing he knit looked like noodles...

Have you ever tried tatting? My grandma used to tat in the winters to make all sorts of very beautiful table coverings. Her daughters never wanted to learn how, so she taught me. There are two types of tatting. Shuttle tatting, which is what my grandma taught me, and needle tatting which is easier to learn. I learned needle tatting from a video on the internet. Tatting is done with two simple stitches combined in different orders and with different spacing to get different effects. It is mostly done with a single color of fine thread, but is possible to be done in multiple colors as well. I have an electronic knitting machine which is the faster way to make knit fabric and knit items. My machine has a lace carriage, a ribber, a 4-color changer, and an electronic pattern controller, in addition to the pattern sheet reader. Mastering an electronic knitting machine takes a lot of learning and practice. An electronic knitting machine can do weaving as well.

I think crochet would have been a lot easier to do than knit.

Wow so amazing, thanks for sharing this amazing information o weaving and how the fabric came to be

yay knitting! I only know up to do the basic knots though

I love how you take everything all the way.

This is such a great channel. Subbed!

Awesome! Thanks! I know this would be complicated, but I think it would be cool if you made a knitting machine. I saw a video where someone 3D printed one. The mechanism is cool.

That woman really said you gon learn today ha . . . This is amazing

was also thinking he should have featured lace making or making tulle

When the knitting group was talking about foxes and rabbits, I think the rhyme they were thinking of was "in through the rabbit hole, round the big tree, out through the rabbit hole and off pops he"

This is a great video series!

Now that is "macho"! Going and doing what few men would dare to do. Someone is teaching me how to sew a shirt! You have way more patience than I. I take my hat off to you. (If I had a hat, but presently only have a tuke which was knitted for me).

You deserve 1 billion subscriber.. 😊😊

What a fun video please make more

Did you know that a famous actor is a master at this skill? His name is Keanu Weaves.

You could have made it so much easier on yourself if you'd eliminated unnecessary suit parts (vest) and/or chosen one fabric rather than four different ones. Mind you, the video would have been less comprehensive, so thank you for going through all of that. xD

That woman next to him knitting and watching him struggle without even looking at her own is hilarious

Wow, that's pretty big yarn. It's thicker than the Super Chunky weight yarn I've got. I think it's a bit easier when you're staring out to use Worsted weight - the needles are smaller and it's a little easier to see what you're doing IMO.

I was just watching this because I can't sleep and then I see the Textile Center, which is just around the corner from me

love the ending

'Weaving was traditionally a man's job' in what time and place, exactly? It seems to have been considered appropriately domestic women's work in Homeric and even Classical Greek periods. I'm curious where and when you are looking.

love it !

JEESUS CHRRIST WARN ME ABOUT THE MEAL WORMS OUTRO

amazing show

you should check out the book: The Toaster Project its a lot like this but he makes a toaster from scrach

Some time-lapse of the weaving would have been on point... that looks so complicated its fascinating!!!!

The loom reminds me of an organ with all its pedals. Also, what was the name of the smaller loom you were using, what kind was it?

2:54, I was disappointed to not find the last person wrapped in a cocoon of yarn

Good video 12 hours is not bad how many yards did you weave

I think that Andy could benefit from reading the book "Woman's Work: the First 20,000 Years," which indicates that women were the primary weavers for far longer than men were.

This is awesome 😂 you are a cool dude

They looked like the most stereotypical knitters ever😭

I've been learning as much survival skills and primitive technology when the apocalypse hits. I have to be able to produce something useful to trade. This weaving stuff is so dang complicated id trade tools or skins for clothes weaved by these people. Lol

How can I see Andy eventually joining the SCA???

WTF this was made 8 years ago?? It's so good

Have you tried Nalbinding for making fabric? It doesn't have the same problem as knitting or crocheting and can't simply pulled undone.

I was born and lived some time in Soviet Union. People were so self sustained and knew how to do stuff: sewing, knitting, building, electric wiring, car mechanics etc. That is why people from Eastern Europe are so valuable asset for Western Europe, because they don't know how to do stuff anymore and need migrants working for them.

🔥🔥🔥Amazing !!!

This is absolutely brilliant. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel, I hope to see more of these videos

I'm surprised you didn't mention nalbining for making ancient fabric, but I guess it was mostly used for socks and rounder items lol

Yo chill asf

That loom you used. What kind is it? I can never seem to find one like that. Only the big ones and the tiny ones.

You should make a dress next lol

What type of manual loom is that? I'm looking to learn how to weave my own fabric and I've seen that sort of loom used for a type of handwoven denim.
