This is your second video to show up in my search results today. Definitely a subscriber now! Really like your teaching and filming style.

I am thinking about doing a video like this, I am inspired by this idea of yours. Your videos are so chill yet fun! Mind if I have a go at this idea of a video as well?

Thanks a lot for this video! Got an early Christmas gift last week - passap duomatic s and was about to clean it, and thanks to your video it will be easier!

I really enjoyed this. You gave yourself grace while using humor. I bought a Passap, but I haven’t used it yet and I’m watching videos in preparation.

I enjoy your process. I’ve been doing it for 40 years. Works for me.😁

I am really interested on your thoughts about buying my first table loom. I can't afford a new one, so if there are any places you would recommend I look, that would be amazing!

on the book pages you used on the thumbnail picture, the squares also has numbers, and there are other things happening on it. Did you also explain it in another video?

Love your videos (minus the support of a corporation that is founded on misogyny ). My stash is enhanced twice a year at a huge textile center garage sale in my area. The amount of yarn I have on hand is nuts. I knit, crochet and weave (floor, table, rigid heddle and inkle).

I am feeling so dumb..Everything/everyone talks about tieing up the peddles. I have a 4 shaft table loom with little levers to raise shafts 1, 2, 3, & 4. I just don't know how to relate this. Help!! Old lady brain!!!

@darcyfabre 3 ай бұрын

Hi! For a table loom, you'll need to create something called a lift plan. For every treadle on the weaving draft, look up at the tie-up section and write down what shafts need to be raised for each treadle. That will be your lift plan. Say you're weaving a 2/2 twill and the treadling order is 1 2 3 4. The first treadle will lift shafts 1 and 2, so on a table loom you'll need to pull down those levers, then treadle 2 will lift shafts 2 and 3, so you'll pull those down, treadle 3 would do 3 and 4, and treadle 4 would lift 4 and 1. I see that Acton Creative has a video called "Read a weaving draft for table looms." I haven't watched it, but it may be useful. I hope this helps!

Though I was drawn in by the mention of “the lazy way,” because I too am all about that lazy life, I am reminded of something my mom told me once: “It’s not laziness, it’s merely the most efficient way from Point A to Point B!” Seriously though, thank you for this very straight-forward tutorial!

I don’t know how anyone understands any of it!!! My poor brain is fried just watching 😅 My mum had a knitting machine that ended up being an expensive clothes hanger.

Imagine you write out the years in a flat grid and the year I was born when I think of it I’m looking down at my feet to it, grandmother was born 1899 so I look behind me and for some reason the 1990s I’m standing at 1999 and looking down to the left…inside my head, that is😵‍💫🤓

The book: Learning to Weave also has a companion DVD produced by Deborah Chandler. If you are able, buy both.

Beautiful work! So on a massive loom like this, where you're not manually moving the shuttle but pulling a cord and letting the loom do it instead, how do you go about managing your selvedges? I have to guess that's one of the "many settings" you were talking about having to adjust?

@darcyfabre 3 ай бұрын

Yep! The fly shuttle has a tension device that can be adjusted so that the yarn sits perfectly at the selvedge every time!

@davideaston3005 5 ай бұрын

Planning? Hah. I just warp, and go. Whatever comes out, is what comes out. Planning leads to stress. Stress leads to errors. Errors lead to an inferior product. Inferior products lead to less sales, and less sales means less weaving.

I genuinely am curious why most fiber arts have such a preponderance of ugly craft works when to try to learn about them. I know this sounds mean, and thats not at all what I am intending. I think there's some kind of Internet effect with fiber arts which is just a bit different somehow. You can look for information about this or that sculpture technique or glasswork and ... Okay ... You're going to see lots of people showing off works which only their grandmother could love. But it won't take long to find a scholar talking about some extraordinarily beautiful or interesting museum piece. This just doesn't happen much with the fiber arts. Some of the best information I have found will have examples by this or that fiber artist and the best you can say about it aesthetically is that it has the quaint charming awkwardness of folk art. I find this very odd.

My weaving journey started by studying the history of tartans, tartan design, and kiltmaking. Though I don't have space to setup a weaving studio, I have ofer $500 worth of weaving related books.

Girl, you REALLY need to make more videos. You are an excellent teacher! I bought a loom, have it threaded, but it has sat there 2 years because I’m afraid. I’m going to give it a go. I’ve watched so many videos on how to read a draft. Yours is by for better than any other video I have seen. Please, please, consider making videos on how to actually weave.

@darcyfabre 7 ай бұрын

Hi!! Thank you so much for your encouragement. I do really want to get back into making videos, but I feel out of practice and kind of afraid to start again. Isn't that silly? Is there anything specific that's intimidating you about weaving? I feel like winding the warp and threading is the hardest part! I'd love to hear what you need help with so I can be further motivated to make more videos. Wishing you all the best!

@lorrainewilson1773 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for this video Darcy. You calm easy of explaining is a great review for me. I’ve been weaving 9 years and although I’m good with math I’m terrible at planning out projects. Your organized way of showing all your calculations is very straight forward and something I will aim to follow going forward.
