Caroline, I have seen most of your KZbin videos, which have helped me more than any others. I also have your book . What I have not seen is how you end the weaving to have the braid at the end rather than the fringe. Can you explain that please. Many thanks.
@carolinespurgeon601627 күн бұрын
You should put the end finish on before you start weaving. Put it on both ends after you string the warp. If you have a Cactus Flower loom put the end twining on before you remove the pegs above the top bar. I know it’s in one of the videos but I don’t remember which one. Does that help? If not let me know.

I just love your videos!! Thank you for taking the time to share your talents with us. One question....for the piece from the collar to the cinch - you indicated that 10" is the length for the 34" breast collar. Does this length need to be shorter for smaller collars, and longer for longer collars? I'm needing to make a 36", but need a little extra guidance. Thanks in advance.
@carolinespurgeon60162 ай бұрын
The problem making breast collars is that there are so many variables. If you have a collar that already fits your horse I suggest measuring that for the correct size of the pieces. Otherwise, lengthen the side piece by an inch. Of course, your hardware can vary in size too so. Good luck!
@carolinespurgeon60162 ай бұрын
Smaller sizes need shorter side pieces. Check the size of your hardware before making adjustments.

Hi Caroline - I have a question. A friend has asked me about the cinch buckles being directly on the horse's body, while other cinches are padded at that point of contact. Is it a problem for the horse to have the buckle "digging" into the body when cinched up? Just wondering as I have not seen one Mohair cinch with buckle padding. Thanks in advance
@carolinespurgeon60162 ай бұрын
I’ve never heard that it’s a problem. Not all commercial cinches have padding. I think that’s a new thing. I’ll see if anyone else has a better answer.

Thank you for this series, Caroline. I have been watching your videos of weaving and cinch making over and over. I am a cowfolk type and grew up ranching, and now that my body can’t do the hard labor anymore I wanted ways to keep making stuff for ranching. Weaving and cinch making is great for it. I just built a 4ft loom to weave on. Do you use cotton or wool for your warp most of the time? I’m trying to stick to 100% wool for functional saddle blankets, but I’m not sure if cotton warp would be better or if it even makes a difference. Thanks!
@carolinespurgeon60162 ай бұрын
A lot of people are particular about their warp but I’m not. I make sure that it’s good quality and exceptionally strong. If you’re using wool for your weft it might be wise to stick to wool for the warp. That way the whole blanket will sort of felt together. Glad you’re enjoying weaving. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for your quick response. So many of the Navajo rugs I see have what appears to be a single vertical line. Maybe it is really using 3 warps with the outer two being “wrapped” by the different colors?

You can use cotton or wool. I use rug weight wool but have also used mop cotton. Sometimes I spin four single ply worsted weight yarn together and that makes an ideal warp yarn.

On this loom you put the pegs back in above the top bar and the weaving slips right off. I’m not sure I understand the last question. The warp is a continuous warp so it doesn’t come undone. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching. Enjoy your weaving. Let me know if I can help you.

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
@carolinespurgeon60165 ай бұрын
Try cotton crochet thread for the warp. You can always switch to wool when you have some experience. For the end twining use a two ply fairly thin yarn. Just make sure it’s very strong so it doesn’t break when you’re pulling it through. Some people use the warp thread for the end twining.

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 KZbin 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.
@carolinespurgeon60168 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!
