Using the Sunna heddle to weave patterned bands

This video shows how to use the Sunna heddle from www.stoorstalka.com/
This heddle is designed to make the weaving of patterned bands easier to learn and quicker to do. The pattern I am weaving is a lovely knot design - not a traditional Sámi band pattern. The wool yarn is from www.artyarn.co.uk/
The books Sámi Band Weaving and Woven Bands from Sweden are available from www.blurb.com/ They are also available as Ebooks, Apple iPad format.
See my blog at durhamweaver64.blogspot.co.uk/
My latest book is published by Schiffer Press 2018 Weaving Patterned Bands how to create and design with 5, 7, and 9 pattern threads. It is available from Amazon and craft outlets.
Happy weaving.

Displays excellent understanding of what makes a successful instructional video for procedural learning: thr. speaks only what needs to be said; no distracting chatter or music; labels her actions with a little "chant" when working: "pick up one, over two, pick up one, over two..." I hope she presents other small lessons. This is superb teaching.
Oh my goodness! I have watched so many KZread videos trying to learn weaving and I have to say you make it sound so simple. I crochet, knit, work with clay and just about anything I can get my hand's on and now I can't wait to add this to one of my new hobbies. Thank you so much.
Best demonstration and verbal instruction I've seen so far
This is such a lovely demonstration. As a result of this video I bought the heddle and two of the shuttles. I have tried to do these kinds of bands before and was nothing but frustrated.... so thank you!
this was extremely useful in showing me how weaving works and I now want to pick it up. thank you!

Thank you. I am pleased that you have found the video useful.
I have recently learned about this type of weaving and love it! I have a 3d printer and used that to print a heddle and shuttle. Your blog was very helpful for learning to warp and the videos give a lot more little details that are needed to get better results!

Thank you. I am sure that you will enjoy learning to weave with this very useful heddle.
Yes all the pattern threads go through the top row of holes on the heddle. The background threads and the border threads are threaded alternately through the long slots and holes. I have a KZread video on Threading the rigid heddle for narrow band weaving which may help but it is for the Baltic style weave structure like the Sunna heddle. You can weave the bands using a doubled holed heddle but the pattern may not be as crisp. I am running an online workshop with the Yahoo discussion group Braids and Bands in March. I will be covering the double holed heddle as well as the Sunna heddle. Check the web site for The Braid Society.
Great demonstration! Not sure yet whether I'll buy/make a Sunna heddle, but I will steal the idea of the width template! Thanks a lot!
this is an incredible tutorial. Thank you so much! so generous.
Love the heddle.
and also how would I go about threading the heddle thanks
This is lovely! Unfortunately, I have only one working hand (and that only barely). Do you know of any adaptations?
Oh this looks like such fun.... you make it look easy....

Hi Susan just watch the video from Sweden. Making warp around two chairs this is great. I also just got a sunna heddle from stoorstalka online store cant wait to receive it and this can be used with your books pattern?
Yes , you can use the Stoorstalka Sunna heddle to weave the bands in my books. I am running an online tutorial about band weaving for the Braid society which starts in March on the yahoo discussion group Braids and Bands. To join in you need to register on the Braid Society web site. The group and the workshop are free to join. There will be many more patterns to weave with this double slotted heddle. Susan J Foulkes
Hello susan I have a double hole rigid heddle can I weaving the patterns in your book with it. with looking at other videos on you tube just to see if I am right would all the pattern threads go into the top holes? I just love your books have two of them thank you

Here is a lovely video from the Skansen museum in Sweden. It is in Swedish but the visuals are clear. There is a particularly good section on making a warp around two chairs. Slöjda med Skansen: Bandvävning kzread.info/dash/bejne/nISZpNOxh5nAhdo.html
I love the look of this for making mochila straps. Where can I buy a heddle loom from?

The Sunna heddle is sold by Stoorstalka who will ship world-wide. shop.stoorstalka.com/sv/start.html If you are in the USA/Canada they had a dedicated web page for orders. If you are in the UK then the Handweavers Studio in London also supply double slotted heddle. happy weaving Susan
I have followed your Blog and KZread channel for a few years now and because of your information, I band weave using both the Sunni and Sigga heddles. Can you tell me please where the pattern you use in this video is from and how I might get a copy? Thank you so much for all your instruction over the years. Best Wishes from Nova Scotia, Canada

The shuttle is the traditional shape used by Sami weavers. It can be purchased at stoorstalka.com/ Stoorstalka have a dedicated site for the USA and Norway. They are based in Sweden and ship worldwide. I have found the shuttle an excellent shape for weaving pick up bands. Susan J Foulkes
Hi Felicity. Can you use a rigid heddle loom? If you can, it can be adapted to use a Sunna double slotted heddle. I will be posting some pictures on my blog later in July to show how one weaver adapted his loom. durhamweaver64.blogspot.co.uk/ I hope it will help. Susan

Hi Crank Yes dk yarn will fit. The holes on the heddle are small but the yarn can be threaded with the plastic threader supplied with the heddle.

@@durhamsilkweaver Can I trouble you with one more question please? :) I want to make a strap/band about 2" wide. So I was thinking of buying the largest(17 pattern slots) sunna heddle - (maybe the 13 would be big enough with dk wool?) I am assuming that I don't need to use all the pattern slots but can use as many as my pattern demands. Is this correct? Thanks
Hello 👋 I am wanting to purchase a heddle that will carry me through most levels. Can I purchase a 9 thread heddle and use it for 5 and 7 thread patterns? Or are the heddles specific to each thread count pattern?

Hi. A 9 pattern thread heddle will weave 5 and 7 pattern thread patterns. My book Weaving Patterned Bands gives all the threading instructions and over 140 patterns for you to try. It is published by Schiffer and available on Amazon. Enjoy your weaving Susan
