Advanced Techniques-Interlock

[@6bonjour]

So useful, thank you. I like how you took your time to explain and show what you are doing. Photography was very easy to see what you were doing.

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

You're very welcome! Happy weaving.

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.

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

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 would like to see a video on how to cover warp on a rug. Effect of epi, type of weft and warp yarns. I really like your videos.

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

I have a video on types of yarn. Maybe that would help you. Basically it’s getting the right epi for the yarn you are using. I use 10 epi for sport weight, 9 or 8 for worsted weight and 6 for bulky. Then you always need to beat it down good and hard.

[@6bonjour]

OK, thanks for your help. As a new person, I find the classification system for yarn confusing. There are numbering systems like 4/2, different materials like wool, cotton, linen, warp vs weft yarns. You do such a good job explaining things.

[@sgstex]

Your videos are SO very helpful. I can't figure out how to do a single vertical line (over one weft thread) using the interlock technique. Any helpful tips? Many thanks.

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

It’s very hard to do a vertical line over one warp. Is that what you mean? I’m not sure what you mean.

[@sgstex]

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?

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

It’s probably over three warps but could be over two. It’s hard to do with less than two and easiest with three.

[@sgstex]

Thank you again. Maybe an idea for your next video? Cheers, Stephen

Hello i have your book and also your loom. Can you please do a video on how to weave twill weaves (saddle blanket) on page 90 of your book. thank you

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

Hummmm. I’ve thought about that. However there’s a lot of variations of twill and you could spend a lifetime studying them. You can do any twill weave on a cactus flower loom. I’ll give it more thought and see what I can come up with. Thanks for your input.

[@wamburu]

Very good work

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

Thank you so much 😀

[@nom_b]

🙂thanks again, this is really helpful. I wonder how long it will take me to get my interlocks as neat as yours 😉

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

Glad it was helpful!

At mark 10:55, when you are increasing the light gray, is the red and increased portion of gray in the same shed? If so, how do you cover the lice?

[@carolinespurgeon6016]

They are in the same shed for a short distance. If you beat it down hard the warp won’t show.
