6 must-know stitches for weavers (beginner friendly)

[@judiththaler8582]

as a child I wanted to weave, wished for a loom, which I got for Christmas. But I had no wool. After many weeks, or months, I could "get" wool from somewhere. When I was looking for the loom in vain, I asked my mother where it was. I threw it away, you never used it. Now, decades later, I have bought my granddaughter a loom. I have a lot of leftover wool because I knit a lot. She has so much fun with the loom she uses when she is with me. So I watched KZbinflime to learn more about it and saw your movie. It's a godsend what you show, I know I'll weave, weave, weave with my granddaughter. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@spruceandlinen]

I'm so glad to hear weaving came back into your life, and I'm glad our videos have been helpful! 😊

[@suewilliamson2764]

Did we have the same mother? 😮

[@AlisonBower-e5v]

I'm just getting started weaving and this was SO clear and helpful without a lot of extra chat, which I super appreciated. Thanks for using clear views with your camera!

[@eileen7303]

omg you are such a great teacher!! I'm brand new to weaving and i really appreciate how you slow down at times so my brain can absorb what you just did. thank you!!

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you so much, that's very kind 😊 I'm glad this was clear for you!

[@padmininageswaran2080]

Im from India, and began weaving since May, 2022. Ive been weaving stoles, trying out different techniques and experimenting with colours, mainly with cotton yarn. Just started weaving wraps / shawls in wool. To finish my work Ive been knotting the edges into fringes and also hem stitching them. But haven't been happy with the technique of hem stitching. I just happened on this video and have found twining to be the firmest and best way to secure the edges of my woven pieces. I do not know how to thank you for this knowledge you have imparted. Thank u once again!

[@spruceandlinen]

That's so great, I love twining for that reason! I'm so glad this was helpful 😊

I am so glad I found this channel, thank you very much for this precious information!

[@jackiewilkinson8295]

I have watched quite a few videos on you tube on how to weave and yours is by far the best. So thank you I understand how to do weave a lot better than I did before. 😊

[@bluewater519]

You are a joy! Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions for a very beginner. Thank you for the “no nonsense” instruction! Just love watching everyone of your videos❤

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you so much!

[@patriciacosta5414]

I am very happy that I found you... I am just at the beginning and I won't abandon you anymore... 😁🌹

This is the most informative video I have found on this subject. I’m venturing into macraweaving to add interest to my macrame and this is so instructive. Thank you for your teaching!

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you so much, I’m glad this was helpful for you! 😊

Love the puffy stitch using roving

[@NiniMarini]

This is the exact video reference I was looking for. I am a beginner and just wanted a quick refresh. Now I can't wait to try these knots out!❤

[@Magz298]

Such a helpful video. You’re so good at explaining things clearly. I’m sitting here itching to get weaving now!

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@BACKGATESTUDIOBOISEandArtkin]

Excellent tutorial. I now have some options for techniques that I already knew. I love that! And you explain and demo so well. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this.❤

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you so much! And you're very welcome, I'm glad this was helpful for you 😊

[@Jessd85]

I can't wait to give this a try! I knit on a loom right now, but I wanted to try weaving on a loom too. Glad I found your channel!

[@333deerwolf]

You have made my year! You're a great teacher and I really appreciate the clarity of your videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I haven't done all 6 stitches yet but I love the second knotting stitch and the bubble one too.

[@spruceandlinen]

You're very welcome!

[@TheKazadoodle]

I didn't care for the knotting stitch but I loved the look of using knotted thread/yarn. Thanks for all the stitches. I can't wait to use them when my travel loom finally arrives.

[@spruceandlinen]

You are so welcome!

[@giovannabarducco8972]

Hellooo!! From Brazil here and i am REEEAAAALLLYYY thankfull for this video! Amazin! thanks, thanks a lot.

[@spruceandlinen]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching 😊

[@BB-dq4ru]

Great instructions 😀 Clear, plain language, camera close-up to the loom and stitches without hands blocking the project. Eons ago we were taught in elementary school how to make a cardboard loom for weaving with yarn, as well as a DYI loom from a block of thick styrofoam to weave beads using elastic ribbon as the base. So much fun. Have you added beads or other materials?

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you!! I haven't explored adding beads, but that sounds fun!

[@gracagomes9889]

I loved your tutorial. I've already signed up to receive others ideas. Thank you very much!

[@kroexys]

Thank you so much for sharing this here! I feel very inspired to try all the stitches now!

[@spruceandlinen]

[@susancook1617]

Thank you for sharing these techniques. I’ve only just started weaving so only knew the basic stitch so you’ve been very helpful 😊

[@spruceandlinen]

You are so welcome, glad this was helpful 😊

[@ColleenCurrier-dp6qb]

I really like them all .

[@Niftyknits]

This is just SO useful. I was given a loom a while back, but hadn't actually realised there was more to it than just going back and forth, think I was too fixated on knitting! I've just ripped out my incredibly boring beginning weave and shall practise these stitches and have fun!

[@laurastrickling5574]

I love your presentation style! To the point and full of information. Thank you! I just ordered a small loom so I can get started

[@salgail1]

Oh my stars!!! Thank you for such detailed and articulate instructions! I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m an elementary art teacher and I am going to introduce weaving in the next couple of weeks. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. Hopefully I can give instructions as eloquently as you do so that my kiddos will pick it up easily. We are starting with the simple cardboard looms. Though not as professional, it’s a little more cost effective and hopefully they will work just fine. BTW, I just bought a few things off of your website and I’m so bummed that all of the looms I’m interested in are sold out! Will you be restocking soon? You’re the best!

[@spruceandlinen]

I’m so glad this video was so helpful for you! 😊 I’m hoping to restock most things on Saturday! We are just waiting on materials and supplies to arrive so we can make more 😊

i loved it but I'm really curious about how you finish off at the ends. That is where the trick lies, especially if it needs to look tidy and never unravels.

Are there any strict differences between a "stich" and "knots"...in weaving?

[@spruceandlinen]

I would say yes, not all weaving stitches are knots, so I only call it a knot if there is some sort of knot involved, such as rya knot.
