Weavers at Work on the Isle of Skye

Watch how Skye Weavers design and weave their woollen cloth, scarves, throws and more. Follow their footsteps across the hills of Skye to find inspiration for their designs. Join them in the workshop and see how they wind the warp threads on a home-built warping mill. Watch them weave on their bicycle pedal-powered loom! www.skyeweavers.co.uk

    Absolutely amazing! It's the essence of making a life from weaving: not as simple and time-consuming as handweaving nor industrialized as power looms. Congratulations from Brazil.

    Hi, thank you for watching our little video! I'm glad you liked it. You are totally right, pedal power is the perfect fusion of hand-weaving and production weaving. And we love cycling!

    Hi sorry this is 9 years late, but this fascinates me that the loom is "bicycle" driven, but I can't figure out how the weft is passed. Is there a video on this part?

    Hi, our looms are rapier looms. I haven't got a video of the weft insertion on KZread, but if you search for 'rapier loom mechanism' there's lots of great videos and explanations by other people. A rapier loom uses a rapier or rapier head to insert the weft threads. In our case they're hooked up on the left and pulled through to drop off point on the right. Every weft thread is an individual thread, not an ongoing one as in a shuttle loom.
