apparently the Romans used these (not necessarily with backstraps but we don't know how they exactly did it, we just have the rigid heddles) so reenactment purposes is my main interest in these, real fascinating stuff

EXCELLENT video! Thank you! One of the things I do to open up the tops fiber before spinning is to hit the entire length with steam. I use a steam gun, but you may also use steam from a kettle. You want to be very careful, of course, not to burn yourself. It's like magic watching compacted roving/tops puff and balloon open. Thank you for this lesson in spinning directly from the fiber. I'm trying to move away from fiber prep such as rolags or dizzing.

Thank you so much, great video! :) Just a question: given that you know the lenght of the band you need to weave, how long shoud your threads be at the beginning? (eg twice the final lengh, three times the final lenght...?)
@LongThreadMedia23 күн бұрын
Great question! It greatly depends on the size of the warp and weft yarns as well as how densely you weave. Kate often adds about 25% take up for the band styles she weaves. She suggests making a small sample as she did here to determine take up. Then, you'll need to add several inches of waste in the front of the band (tied to the waist) and about 12 to 18 inches of waste at the end of the band.

This was perfect, excellent, exactly what I needed. I am planning to weave a belt for a traditional costume here in Norway, and I have never used this kind of loom before. I needed these basics before launching in to the more difficult pattern picking of the belt! Time to pull out my own handspun that I've never found a use for to teach myself the motions!

I have a vintage crochet coat pattern, no matter how I try, I cannot get it to work. Can anyone help
@LongThreadMediaАй бұрын
Here's what I did for the last vintage pattern I worked on. I used the stitch guide accompanying my pattern to map the terms to their modern-day equivalents. Then, because it was a shorter pattern, I transcribed the entire pattern into modern terms and followed that as I crocheted. You can also find a local crochet group to meet up with and see if anyone has experience with translating vintage patterns. Often, getting a few folks together really helps. Good luck with the pattern, we hope it works out!

Bonjour bravo pour la Vidéo. ! Je veux comprendre comment lire les patrons.. sur le vôtre dans la vidéo.. doit -on aussi calculer les fils de la bordure chaque côté ou c'est seulement le patron du dessin? Tous les patrons se lisent-ils de la même façon

The pattern shown in the video is one for Baltic pick-up and is different than other inkle patterns. If you want to learn more, Angela's video is a great resource: learn.longthreadmedia.com/courses/baltic-pick-up-on-the-inkle-loom. Angela also shared with me that her favorite book for this is Anne Dixon's "The Weaver's Inkle Pattern Directory." It contains lots of plain weave patterns and many specialty techniques including Baltic and other pickup with a good selection of charted designs. This is an excellent resource for anyone with an inkle loom. Happy weaving!

I'm a sewer and Nalbinder . Thank you for concise and easy to follow instructions ! many band weaves look very tedious with: turning cards, picking up and dropping the threads and going up and down with the shuttle thing that goes back and forth is too much for me ! this kind looks very beginner friendly . I would have to get the tools - but $30 for two items from the shop you suggested ? totally worth it !

@ah57212 ай бұрын
How do you pass the shuttle through the upper and lower crossed parts of the warp?
@cuppajavapleaseАй бұрын
The turning of cards means it's tablet weaving which is another weaving method. I have avoided trying that one. It looks too complicated to me!

How would you finish it if you were patching a hole? Is there a specific way or would you just have to make the patch big enough that you’d have fabric around the hole to weave the tails into?
@LongThreadMedia3 ай бұрын
It would depend quite a bit on the base fabric. There are so many variables that it just depends on the situation. Generally, as you say, making the patch big enough to cover the hole and weave the ends in is great. Luckily, if you are working a darning-loom patch over a hole, the patch stabilizes the area and prevents the fabric near the hole from being pulled and stretched. Happy mending!

It was very interesting to see the various techniques for carding. The way Norman Kennedy cards wool is exactly the way I was taught/shown some 50 years ago . Interesting to find it is the way done in Canada because my almost 175 year old castle style wheel is from Canada, still retains some original green paint with very faded red trim, has its own personality from wear, can be a bit cantankerous but still spins beautifully!

Was gifted dusty beautiful suri fiber of a few different colors. Have washed some, and tried flicking other to see what might work best. Is so silky like ! Have spun it mostly straight suri and wondered if other hints . What was done originally where it is native to? Is it carded or just spun straight on a hand spindle....???
