how interesting, I never did any weaving. Love the colors you have used.

@@carin.zwaneveld Thank you! I am so glad they ended up melting together so well!

Lovely piece. How have you finished the edges? It doesn't look like a normal hemstitch.

@@susanwheeler9624 Thank you ❤️! I don't think the finishing has any particular name, but I could be wrong. When I was first teaching myself to weave I had a hard time learning the hemstitch. One time I completely misunderstood how to hemstitch and ended up doing things this way. Personally I love how it looks and still use it as a finishing sometimes. I think I just invert a typical hemstitch and add an extra wrap around the bundle horizontally. Maybe I can make a video in the future showing how I do this finishing if people would like to see it.

I am new to your channel. What size is your loom please?

[@MyrtleAndRobin]

@@juliewholohan2850 Hi there! Welcome 😁 ! The loom in this video is an Ashford 24 inch Rigid Heddle Loom with a 12.5 dent heddle.

@@juliewholohan2850 If you use metric, I believe my loom would have about a 60 cm weaving width.
