Can you help me understand how to warp odd numbers of threads? I have seen many patterns using single color warp thread (or an odd number), and I don’t understand how to secure the odd end.

@Jill4Today Жыл бұрын
What loom are you weaving on? Also, do you have to get up to loosen the warp so you can advance it? Thank you! Love your videos. I'm having to go from floor loom weaving to rigid heddle loom because of back and leg issues, so that's why I'm curious about getting up to advance warp. I'm leaning heavy on the schacht flip. Thank you so much

Tammy I am new to weaving so I am really getting a lot of great information from your videos. I loved the tips you gave in this. I have not had to fix a floater yet or a broken warp string. Just literally starting. I have a question about the yarn that you leave on top and cut after finishing with felling. Do they really never pull out later down the road when being worn or washed? That flips me out! I feel like they need to be tied off somehow. I know they don’t but don’t understand the why! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It’s awesome!
@tamarapoff.222 жыл бұрын
You are welcome! Glad to help. As different as we all are, experienced weavers will assure you that interweaving these threads is the most functional way to incorporate the ends. A knot would create a definite flaw. Unless you do this at a selvage where there is more stress on the fabric, they are interwoven and reinforced once fulled. Very occasionally, after much use, a tiny fuzzy end may present itself, and you can trim it, but I don't see unweaving in any of the items I've created over the years. If you used a slippery coated thread, repairs might be less secure, but we seldom use those in weaving as they generally come out stiff and undesirable. You can always allow a greater overlap if you don't think your fabric will full much.

I've used a variety of rubberized shelf liners bought from big box stores where I can find up to 18" wide. I like the perforated kind that is not too thick (small holes). It is easily cut to length as needed. If you need wider, the maximum width I've found is 20" on Amazon. Hope that helps.

Hi Adam. The importance of packing the warp with paper (or cardboard warp sticks, or rubberized shelf liner, or any flat flexible material that is not slippery or spongy) is to separate the layers of yarn you will wind on. Think of warp threads piling on top of warp threads creating hills and valleys and messing with the tension. Something to separate these layers is critical. Happy weaving!

That was an 8 dent reed using a 2 ply, dk (#3) alpaca blend for warp I think. I don't know the brand as it was 5 years ago. Looking at the scarf, I can see I used a single ply, fingering gauge (#1) for weft (beat lightly) which lends to the openness of the weave.

Yes, I had the same issue when I was a new weaver. I had some very "mouse chewed" looking selvedges before I came to this conclusion. Not sure why everyone is so hush about it - maybe because floor loom weavers work differently and many of our experienced weavers come from that background. Maybe it's because these percentages can vary at times? Still 90% is very consistent - especially for length. Your work may lose another 5% in washing. Mohair draws in very little. Weave on!

Hello! Sorry so slow to respond - out of state houseguests had me distracted. I am using my Schacht Flip, 25" wide. My 15" Schacht Cricket gets more use, but if you can't have 2 looms and you have space, go bigger. Most of my patterns are done on the 15", but once in a while only the wider one will do. 24" is a good width. I find that anything larger is just a hassle - at least for me. Happy weaving!

Am trying to warp with a 12 dent reed. That hook seems to be almost too large and is difficult getting the yarn into the hole. Suggestions?
@poffstudio33282 жыл бұрын
This can vary with different brands. The hook made for the Schacht Cricket is smaller than the one they provide with their flip for example. If you are already using a smaller hook, try to keep the hook as parallel to the floor as possible and enter the hole with hook down for maximum ease. If you are still frustrated, you could try large needle threaders. I think they make such things for hair weaving as well. Sometimes the yarn is the problem if you are trying to sley yarns thicker than a sport gauge. Hope that helps.

My past experience sewing has taught me that when you are sewing stretchy fabrics to use a jersy or stretch needle and zigzag stitch. Zigzag will allow the fabric to stretch without breaking the thread the way a straight stitch does. It makes a huge difference in the finished item and will save a lot of grief fixing seams and broken threads.
