How To Weave w/Handspun Yarn on a Rigid Heddle Loom/Sewing Handwoven Fabric Into a Bucket Basket

[@lorainew4281]

I'm sure I wasn't the only one that gasped when you took the rotary cutter to your woven fabric - you are very brave! I can't wait to do that one day lol! I love the colors and your basket turned out great!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

There were so many comments about cutting it. I have to cut it off I want to make more stuff with it, so I just did it until I was used to it 🤷🏼‍♀️. I'm so glad I did. It gave me so many options.

[@krankywitch]

Just gorgeous 🥰 I see/hear lots of weavers won’t use handspun for the warp - they say it doesn’t stand up to the friction. Well done you for proving them wrong.

[@redmonika10]

I know you don't have cats but for anyone else with kittys, full cat liter boxes make a great weight for the loom when you warp. 😃 Love the basket! I've been contemplating a basket or a grocery bag for when I don't take my husband shopping. (Insert overflowing cart with him in tow) 🛒🛒 Great project. Can't wait to see more! 👍👍

[@lisaml7411]

The basket turned out beautiful especially with adding the orange at the end. 😍😍😍

[@LDSVenus]

That is really cute, how cool is it that you can make beautiful and useful things from your hand spun then hand woven creations.

[@paigehoward3783]

The basket turned out so nice. I love the yarn and the fabric it made would make such a lovely purse fabric as well.

[@elizabethernest]

From beginning to end, this project was so fun! This is wonderful for handspun you want to weave with but don't want to wear. I'm starting to get overwhelmed with all the ideas I have for things I want to spin/weave/knit and then seeing everyone else doing amazing stuff too-- it's almost paralyzing to know what to start first...my idea? yours? hers? that one over there?... squirrel!! hahaha

[@suebrady6179]

Pretty baskets! You could embroider a separate motif and sew it on by hand. It wouldn't take long to whipstitch around the edge, and you could place it exactly where you want it.

[@teacat55]

As a quilter, I cannot tell you how many times I have assembled a top or project, only to frog out some seams and redo entire areas, in order to Fix a Section I misaligned or to Improve something which needed the improvements. It wouldn’t take much time for you to frog (rip it, rip it) that basket, embroider whatever you are thinking about and restitch the final, New and Improved!, basket to be what you envisaged in the first place.

[@sheamcintoshford-author5494]

What a fun project to watch from start to finish!💜

[@patriciacrossett9289]

Don’t you just LOVE the Stanhope winder?!!!

[@LisaMyEclecticLife]

What a fun basket, lovely use of your handspun and woven fabric.

[@teresac.m.355]

I am not much of a weaver I do love watching your weaving videos though.

[@spincrochetrepeatrcc8961]

I L.O.V.E. your fireplace!

[@avalontampsett5023]

You make warping so easy. Have shown my husband as he weaves, after I have spun the yarn.

[@enswann]

I haven't even watched yet, but I'm so excited!

[@deejcarter2003]

Super cute 🥰 and you know I love this fiber blend💕 I actually thought it was going to be a project bag.

[@IJRoz]

Another great weaving project idea! I was thinking it was going to be a bag but you surprised me. Great video!

[@katlynkoester]

Cute basket! Beautiful yarn/fabric! Whenever I watch one of your weaving videos I want to try whatever it is that you made. 😄

[@beckyshook3526]

Fantastic when valentines day is over use it for a yarn project

[@glendasmith7507]

I love the woven fabric. That last color you added with the orange, pinks, and blue was a really pretty combination with your pink Valentine warp.

[@gerryivkovich1857]

Looks good. I would like to see it reversed with all the weaving on the outside and the white as the cuff. Either way it is a neat basket. Thanks for showing us the process. Blessings.

[@Rowanstarr]

Those are super pretty. Love the colors.

[@melaniehuhta8853]

Love how this turned out. Great basket pattern and a good idea for woven handspun. Thanks Trish!

[@LindseyHeine]

Beautiful basket! Love the orange and pink together

[@bluescoop3132]

Making sure that your loom doesn’t move while warping is really important! After forgetting the first three times, I finally remembered. Fourth time was the charm - slow learner? Becoming feeble minded? Sorta in my defense, it was long periods of time between weaving adventures. Actually, I did remember about a quarter of the way in on fourth time.

[@kellicoffman8440]

Love ❤️ the yarn 🧶

[@MOLLIMEDIA]

So adorable! I love it… 💖💖💖

[@karenbroussard2641]

Wow so cute! I can see so many uses for these!

[@kristalburns3490]

The basket turned out realy cool!

[@AmyAmandas]

You make it look so easy! I received an old table loom from the 70s I really want to figure it out! You inspire me always!

[@tronald42]

Thank you for this. I needed it. Stay warm,

[@margaritagoble1194]

Love the finished product!! Now I want to make one but it still has not motivated me to learn to weave.

[@QuzieSuzieQ]

I come for all the videos 🤣❤️

[@vickyk5510]

I love this project.

[@emmasmom60]

That's cute. You have so many good ideas!

[@carolyndavis6657]

Love this and giggled when you said you used your box of kettle bells to hold your loom, I always grab a case of bottled water to hold mine! The basket turned out so cute 💖

[@jenniferruiz6736]

The basket is adorable! I just love it

[@abirhussein9781]

You are welcome 😊

[@brendabacon1613]

I love how your basket turned out. It’s so pretty. You always make such amazing things ☺️💜

[@candygrubisic]

I would think playing weaving chicken would be way harder than crochet and knit yarn chicken 😂 That second color looks good with the valentine. Gotta love interfacing for stuff like that. Turned out cute.

[@sandramarshall7712]

Yeah weaving! Loved the video. Beautiful fabric!

[@jenbraunstein865]

Thank you for always having such informative videos! Even if it's small pieces of advise, it adds up! I think a lot of creatives who make money off of their work tend to hold their cards so close to their chest regarding process and tips. It's really humbling to see the amount of work and process that goes into everything you craft from raw fiber to bag. The finished product is so beautiful. Also low-key really sweet to see a little moment of John touching your weaving and chatting with you! :) You may have answered this question in a separate video, but can I ask what you do with the unwoven yarn that you cut? Does it go into other projects?

[@mostley1]

Super cute!

[@marinamartinez6886]

Very pretty yarn, like the texture as well. 👍👍👍

[@sandrahageman9955]

I love the yarn and the basket. I would be so nervous cutting the pieces. I am nervous just having to finish the ends.

[@WellWoopdidoo]

The bonus orange fabric was a lovely surprise, the baskets are great! I keep thinking of trying that embroidery hoop weaving to use some of my small test batches of homespun.

[@tracybarger7822]

Gosh that basket is so cute!!

[@raysunshine830]

Adorable project! I have to admit that I am terrified to cut any cloth I’ve woven. You did it without hesitating! I’m going to try a smaller basket and use as a potted plant cover. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@cmelancon3650]

Super cute!!! I can’t wait to make one!!!! Thanks for another fun and informative video!!! 💗

[@scriptgoddess]

I LOVE this idea. I'm using my hands-on for a weaving project for the first time this week, but it's fantastic to have inspiration for another project to use up all the spinning I've been doing! Thank you!

[@lorim.8136]

Cute fun basket.it turned out really nice.

[@carlleegamble3744]

I was using paper bags that I cut open. The mylar looks so much easier. Thanks for the tip.

[@alisonhenry820]

So cool!

[@danielleh8461]

Love the way it turned out!

[@jenm4721]

That is beautiful fabric!!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Thanks I was so happy with it!

[@sylvanwoods5271]

Such a lovely idea! I've been thinking of knitting some kind of storage bowl, basket or something, but weaving it was such a great alternative. ❤️

[@CrazyMountain_Fiberworks]

That was super cute 💕

[@msday2vzw]

That basket is cool! Love the colors! I have had my rigid heddle loom since last May and I am so afraid to try.

[@dawanariley4183]

Lol saving up for a loom

[@kellywest2820]

So cute. Great idea!

[@dmbrown240]

That came out great! ❤️

[@Lucy-vx2ls]

How cute! I love the idea of someday being able to weave with my handspun!

[@rockinrobin1975]

Oh my gosh! I love this! Thanks so much for sharing it! I'm always looking for something to do with my hand spun yarn also. Gonna give this a try!

[@jenburroughs7306]

Beautiful! Did you Wash your fabric before sewing?

[@dawnuselto8777]

Love the way it turned out! I'd be happy to crochet a basket out of my homespun yarn if I ever get enough of it done, close to the same color! Lol Stay safe and well All!

[@carrietreder8474]

Gorgeous fabric and a fun project. Handwoven handspun is always so pretty. Every time you post a weaving video, I think about how I should finish the practice towels on my loom so that I can move on, but then I don’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also….your dishwasher is still not working?!?

[@ShelbyNina26]

Soo pretty! I haven't ventured into weaving with my handspun yet.

[@annettemixon1264]

Cute!

[@mariebaker2694]

Hi, what is the plastic sheets you used to separate the warp? Where is the basket instruction?

[@jackyradbone3808]

I was looking for the basket instruction too, but the link seems to be missing. Such a shame as I was so excited to try this

[@kimlyne9700]

I swear I looked through the description but I don’t see a link for how to make the basket. I really want to make one, what a perfect place to store flicked locks until I can spin them.

[@spincrochetrepeatrcc8961]

Can you tell us how to estimate shrinkage and waste, etc.?

[@taniamitchell604]

I was like . " Gasp, she's gonna cut it". Lol , I'm not that brave....yet

[@rinatheysmans5580]

I have been weaving for several years, but I am still nervous to cut the fabric ! Btw nice project !

[@donnac368]

What a beautiful basket! I think it's better without the embroidery because it lets the weaving be the main focus. I've never cut my weaving yet other than to cut it off my loom. I guess it might feel a lot like steeking. Great job!

[@melaniereising5661]

How did your woven fabric not unravel when you cut it?

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I ask myself that every time but it never does much, if at all. Voodoo magic 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@pennywheeler8599]

I can’t seem to get the sewing instructions. Would you mind sending it to me. BTW love the videos

[@maryarneson5815]

Here's a strange question/thought, couldn't a person make/use and extended apron bar to minimize loom Waste?

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I think the problem is that opening the shed gets too difficult when the end get shorter, so it might help a little bit you would not gain much.

[@eqrain21]

I find it so hard to cut my handspun when using it. Am I the only one with this problem? I've made some knitted and crocheted things out of handspun but the amount of cutting in weaving and my newness with it make it so intimidating. I have some special handspun set aside for it, hopefully I get the courage to weave it soon!

[@jujuridl]

You are killing me with this lovely weaving. I just cannot go there. No looms. No rooms for looms! But I am weakening…

[@the4trents]

I'm always afraid to use my handspun as warp. My brain thinks it isn't as strong as commercial yarn.

[@quil10it]

YOU CUT IT!!!!! ok that's scary right there....
