How I start EVERY weaving

[@Shmoo22420]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I don't think I've ever subscribed to a channel so quickly. Thank you!

[@spruceandlinen]

Thanks for the sub!

[@olgaprinssesan]

Thank you for this tutorial! I'm from Sweden and we have a long weaving-tradition here, but still not many swedes make tutorials for beginners. This one was just great! Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@noneya9035]

This was best video I’ve found on YT for weaving. Thank you a bunch of times.

[@spruceandlinen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JustinDOehlke]

You, my lady, are an excellent teacher, bravo!

[@spruceandlinen]

Thanks!

[@garygaravaglia1518]

Wow! Incredible. I’m so sorry I didn’t know about you 7 disasters ago. Thank you so much for your simple instruction and tips.

[@spruceandlinen]

Glad you found us now and this was helpful!

[@ash231]

This is going to sound ridiculous but I always tied my twining row by hand. My mind is blown watching you do this with a tapestry needle. This is so much faster than what I've always done. So simple and yet that literally never occurred to me!

[@spruceandlinen]

Not ridiculous at all! Lots of people do it that way, this is just another option 😊

[@leal536]

Oh my, thank you so so much for showing this technique to start my weaving. I've actually given up weaving before but now after watching this video, I feel confident that I will have more success.

[@joan-mariacbrooks]

I'm returning to Weaving after a bit of time and need a good refresher course. This is perfect!

[@debsdesignsetc]

Thank you! I'm just learning to weave. You are a great teacher! Your videos are so helpful!

Just tried using the cardboard at the bottom for the first time - wow does it ever make life easier!!! Thanks for the great tip ☺️

[@spruceandlinen]

Right?! It's a game changer for sure 😊

[@bernicelevis4415]

Thank you so much i have an school project to do and this video really help me thank you so much

[@silvana60618]

Loved it! I was wondering if you could teach Krokbragd (Scandinavian weaving) in the tapestry looms

[@BerniWright]

I am interested in Krokbragd as well. It looks fascinating

[@spruceandlinen]

I am! But I have only woven it on a floor loom, I will definitely be figuring it out for frame loom weaving at some point!

[@bridgetb3480]

This is such a satisfying video!

[@samanthafranklyput]

This is the exact video I needed- thank you!!

[@spruceandlinen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kathymoser9750]

Thank you!!! You are an excellent teacher!!! I see several weavers using a heddle bar on frame looms. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a heddle bar? Will you be offering them from your shop?

[@zoekim1868]

Do you do a twining stitch every time you start a new thread of yarn?

[@dalilaperez7959]

Thank you!! This was very informative. I'm new to weaving and was wondering what you should do if you dont want fringe or if it was a necessity to have fringe at the end?

[@spruceandlinen]

Here’s one way you can finish a weaving with no fringe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWqVmpKLas2bo9Esi=HNkraneOz0Yjword

Can I use cotton warp string for the whole project,if i don't want to use yarn ?

[@Sarah4Celtic]

I want to get into weaving similar size projects but I am wondering whether to get a tabletop loom so that I’m flexible in the long run. What are your thoughts?

[@tashirose1244]

Great tutorial 💕💯

Thank you! Are you familiar with Krokbragd(Scandinavian weaving)

[@sandyp196]

I really struggled with this because my loom has a different amount of strings and the last string is an 'under' not an 'over' string like yours is.

[@meichihsieh]

thank you for sharing this! really helpful

[@spruceandlinen]

You're so welcome!

[@g51399]

I’m a little confused as to how you actually finish your piece and prevent it from coming apart. I’m building an 8 foot frame loom out of wall studs to weave blankets on- do you have any suggestions for finishing a piece or making sure it doesn’t come apart after I finish it? Can I just use the technique in this video and call it a day, or would another step be necessary?

[@spruceandlinen]

This video shows how I take the weaving off the loom and finish it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX-Ym6yPaah1eKMsi=ZhF5XI2tx_uO7Fm0

[@g51399]

@@spruceandlinen Thank you so much!!! Just finished the frame yesterday and gonna get started weaving today!!

[@hippieweaver]

Do I need to start this way if I'm NOT removing the strings? I'm thinking yes to twining/tabby but no to cardboard. Thoughts? Ty Christine

[@edz56]

Thanks for your great tip Janelle! We will be introducing weaving to our class again and I was just wondering if we should tie both ends of the weft yarn (BASE) that you just showed us or just weave it in once we are finished making the entire Weft.

[@spruceandlinen]

I typically both weave those ends in as shown, and tuck them in when I'm done. 😊

[@melindaloustalot6975]

When I am tired weaving potholders on pin looms, is this what I do next?

How do you weave the cardboard in when the warp strings are so close together!!

hello I would like to ask if the loom the 70cm x 50cm wide can I take it out and continue from the finished prebious project?

[@halalaith7975]

If we don't have warp string can we use any substitutes?

[@spruceandlinen]

For frame loom weaving I always suggest something with no stretch!

[@manitobafisherman]

I use crochet cotton

[@amjbailey8123]

Thank you

[@stardust62495]

amazing, you are amazing. ty!

[@kayequinn7146]

Have a question...After I finish the twining row & want to continue, (maybe I'm not understanding correctly)do I just cut the next regular weaving row at the end & start a new row? Hope you understand my question.

[@amandabolden3172]

Hi I’m not sure if you mean for the plain stitches (which are the last two rows) but she kept the same length of yarn that she measured five times the length of the loom for: first row twining and second and third was plain. She didn’t cut it until she was finished all of these rows. Her next steps were with knots with another video, but even if you were doing another weaving technique or color you would add another yarn as it probably wouldn’t be long enough to continue on with so many rows with just the five times lengths. I hope this helps.

[@zonagal]

Is that wool chunky yarn you used above the card stock?

[@spruceandlinen]

It’s a wool blend yarn, all the tools and materials are listed in the description 😊

[@katiecahill940]

How do you thread the tapestry needle? You sort of skip over that

[@amandabolden3172]

Hi. Like how you thread a regular needle with thread. Think of the yarn as a thick thread…the needle will have a whole in it and you put it in. But you don’t knot it like you do when regular hand sewing. Hope this helps.

[@spruceandlinen]

I will make a KZbin short on this soon! I've actually never been asked that before but I'm glad you did because I'm sure there's others that wonder! As a written explanation, if you're using a chunky yarn, what I like to do is fold the yarn making a loop and then squish that loop through the hole on the needle.

[@syedabismahsohail778]

How many inches does your farm loom is? And if we have 12 by12 loom weaving frame what should be the size of cardboard please please guide me

[@spruceandlinen]

This loom has a weaving length of about 14". I like my cardstock to be at least 2 1/2" tall- it needs to be tall enough that you have enough length in the warp strings to tie them into knots later. The height will sometimes depend on the project and how you want to finish the top.

[@amyislergibson2955]

Why cardboard?

[@nowirehangers2815]

How big is your look please?
