Warping my Floor Loom W/a New Method I Learned from The Woolery! Weaving Rainbow Towels, Tabby/Twill

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

#fiberlovediary
There are two videos that taught me to do this. It seems like a million steps, but the warp turns out so beautiful and perfect! The links are below. I didn't explain it all, because Amy explains it in her videos. I'm just beyond thrilled with this set of towels. The day this comes out, they will be cut off the loom!

    Okay, I know I've been away from my loom for months and all, but I am going to need to watch this a few more times to see the benefit of all the extra steps in warping. Grateful as per usual with your clear demonstration. I've bookmarked this to watch again!

    It's so funny that you are finishing up some almost finished projects too! I don't know what it is about this season this year but I have felt like I need to do a sort of spring cleaning. I've been trying to finish up projects or frog them if I am not happy with them and generally just trying to do some crafting clean up. My first task was to tackle the almost done stuff that I stopped working on for whatever reason (some of them years old even!) I managed to finish up 2 so far!

    Thanks for sharing this different warping method! I can see how threading the reed would help keep the threads all orderly rather than just using a raddle. But the whole unthreading and then rethreading the reed after doing the heddles makes my head want to find another way. Heddle threading is my struggle.

    It's very similar to the Scandinavian way to warp ... I have a Glimåkra Julia and it's how the directions are written to warp it. The only difference I noticed was how you transfered the cross to the back of the loom ... on the Julia i only lift the lease stick nearest the reed on end and it gives a shed behind then I place the 1st stick in there then once 1st stick is removed i turn the 2nd stick on end and transfer the cross... the treads all lift up when the lease stick is raised. Hope you understand what I mean. Great video!

    Thanks for showing this method. I'm a fairly new weaver and I am always interested in seeing all the different ways of doing things. I used to do a similar method but I have recently tried warping back to front method that I learned from the Jane Stafford online classes. So far I like that method best but I have only done it once so we'll see. Anyway, I have the same Harrisville loom as you and I am currently making some improvements to it. I am replacing those ribbons on the back and front roller beams with texsolv cord. I was also wondering about replacing the leather cords that raise and lower the shafts with texsolv like I see you have in the video. Do you like them and do they work well? My shafts with the leather cords, chains, and hooks on the side get tangled up fairly often when I'm weaving. I also want to put texsolv on the treadles. Thanks for all your videos, I learn so much from your channel.
