Hello, Thank you so much for all of your videos. They are helpful. I’m having entwining on my mini loom. It is warped with 12/6 seine twine and I was using 8/4 carpet warp for the entwining. However, I am not able to pull it through the end pins the way you demonstrate on your video. It is too thick to pull through the loom pins. What should I use to warp the loom and also what should I use for entwining in order for it to fit through the pins. What would you recommend? Many thanks

Hi , and thanks for all your videos, very helpful. I’m having trouble with the end twining on my mini loom. I am using 12/6 seine twine for the warp, and 8/4 carpet warp for the end twining. I can’t pull the ends of the warp and twining between the loom pins, it is too tight. So what should I warp the mini loom with, and what should I use for the end twining? What would you recommend? Thanks-

Do you know how to do the raised flowers and feather designs? It looks like the 2ply is on top.
@carolinespurgeon601613 күн бұрын
Often the raised flowers are embroidered on with two ply yarn. It's a simple backstitch that looks like outlining but it's on top of the cinch. If you need to learn the basics of embroidery there's lots of KZread videos on that topic. Hope that helps.

Because it has to stretch between the buckles one more time than the other end. That makes it an odd number of warps.

Hi Caroline, I wonder if you can help me with a suggestion. I’ve made an error and have woven quite a long way from both ends but going over two and under two between the warps. So it should still hold together but it’s not going to meet properly in the middle. I am considering switching to over one under one. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
@carolinespurgeon60163 ай бұрын
In twining there are no mistakes, only design elements! You can do anything you want. You can even alternate the over two with the over one. If there is room put in a few rows of under one. Then you can switch to under two again.

Hummmm.... if you cut 17' you should have had 2' at each end to weave back in. I measured between my rings and had 13 1/4" so we are close. Are you pulling your yarn pretty taut as you're stringing the warp? Since you only had about one foot you may be able to make it halfway across. I think I'd run those yarns as far as I could and then run the ends back in. Then add on your two ply and see if you can tie them in. Maybe I should make a video on how to do that as someone just said they did a cinch and ran out of yarn at the ends!

Hummmm. Are you buying the alpaca? If so it comes in very large rolls and you would use most of one roll for a 2 x 3 rug. The total amount you need depends on how tight you weave. Of course the tighter the weave the more yarn you use. A looser weave would use less.
