Thank you for this interesting upload. It's a sort of comfort to see you doing all the same errors as me! I have an ashford jack loom and I thought the ashford tie up arrangement was rather clunky until I saw your mira's. 😉. I guess every loom has its quirks and you just get used to them. Eventually.

The info on the plastic shuttle is very interesting, your right, it seems contrary to what you would expect. I'm thinking of trying a plastic shuttle on my rigid heddle. I also have the same Brother sewing machine and I love it. The weight of this Brother machine beats my old lugable Viking, I used to call it THE TANK.

16 epi, 32 end for repeat, that is 2 inches per repeat, 18 inch scarf, that is 9 repeats without hard math. But i can't warp indirectly in return. I was screaming for you not seeing the mistake in the center. No matter how hard one tries, mistake always occur. Lastly I was warping with friend for the first time, letting the "friend" be my kid - the result is all wobbly. It is a feature.
@SticattoАй бұрын
When you put it like that, it’s simple math! Indirect warping is definitely a challenge, but it gets easier! My first try was pretty chaotic. I am also not sure how I missed the mistake in the middle! I ended up weaving for about 20 inches and taking it off the loom. I did re-sley the entire project to 12epi and fixed all the errors in the threading! It’s looking so good at this more open sett! I’ll post a an update in my next video which should be out soon, hopefully. Happy weaving!

You can do a floating selvedge by making a thread the correct length tieing it on at the front and then hanging it over the back with a weight on it. I fact that’s the best way because it always has good tension on it.
@Sticatto2 ай бұрын
That’s a great suggestion! I actually thought about doing that, but I figured since I already planned the thread in the warp, and I wasn’t super far into it, that I’d rather just restart! I do often find that I need to add some sort of weight to my floating selvedges anyway, so maybe this is what I’ll do in the future!

Very nice job on your project. I was impressed, the tension looked perfect even after 11 months, and a long warp. A fun weaving weft tip, you can split the plies of your yarn for color change, discard one of the pies and do your same tucking of the tail in the same shed. Once you beat it down, the two single ply’s would be the same exact thickness as your yarn. Great job on the video and looking forward to seeing how you get great tension on your warp.
