How to Use a Pickup Stick & Stick Shuttle

The pickup stick and shuttle are best utilized together. The pickup stick is the wood strip with no holes in it and the stick shuttle is the one with the notches at each end.
🧶To begin wind some of your weft yarn onto the shuttle, set the shuttle aside.
🧶Use the pickup stick to "pick" your pattern ...
This means that you pass the pointed end of the stick over and under warp threads in an alternating pattern so every other thread is above the stick (or "picked").
🧶Turn the stick on edge, lifting the threads on top of it.
🧶Pass your shuttle through the opening created in your warp threads

Thank you for these short informative videos. I received the Beka frame loom for Christmas and am anxious to get started on a project. Any help is much appreciated!
