How Weaving Works

[@mathematicalmatt]

Your channel needs to go big! The density of information, the animations, the stock footage, the clarity of the script and delivery! Very very good!

[@IMakeEverythingUK]

Why thank you! I hope to keep them coming...

[@Sam_Salabim]

That is the best video about weaving I have ever seen. You explain everything so easy to understand and I love how you talk about all the different styles of weaving. Thank you so much!

[@magilser78]

I saw your comment before I started viewing. I thought yeah that's what everyone says about every video. But no, you are right this is great. I like how all the names of everything are mentioned. I'm big on names of traditional craft stuff. Weft, I never realized. I had to pause the video for 30 seconds to wait for my mind to stop blowing.

[@ToohTheSilent]

Completely agree!

[@grumpypotamus7143]

I have been weaving for years, taken several classes, and this is both the most thorough and succinct explanation I have found. Absolutely brilliant, thank you. New subscriber here, going back to see other videos and excited for more!

[@IMakeEverythingUK]

*YOU* are my target audience! Welcome! :)

[@ToohTheSilent]

Duuuuuude! One of the best if not the best explanation. Really easy to understand and honestly I love the way she talks!

[@tasteofvic]

succinctly uncomplicated, and inspiring! thank you!

[@pubuduweerakoon7174]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

[@taylorallen1187]

this is great! What a coincidence this lovely explanation was posted right when I needed some information about the technology behind weaving. Thank you!

[@elenap15227]

Yay, I was searching for exactly this explanation. Thank you.

[@sewobsessedmama8851]

Love your videos and best of all your personality. 😊

[@thischurchbasement]

absolutely epic overview, its awesome to see your passion for this. epic visuals as well

[@jenniferstock1166]

Somewhere between soft and floopy is sleazy, which is a weaving term I especially enjoy. Thank you for the outstanding videos!

[@IMakeEverythingUK]

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE! Thank you so much for that etymology treasure!

[@HandmadebyElisaLaine]

I’ve been wanting to try weaving forever but I’ve been holding off because I already have a problem with doing all the crafts. It’s gunna happen soon though. Great video, can’t see what you do next.

[@thestevenbell]

This content is exactly what I needed to understand how loom weaving works. Thank you. Such lovely tweed you've made 🙌

[@bethkolle1]

Thank you for this clear explanation of a simple-but-complicated process! Not being of a mechanical bent, I am having a hard time figuring out how lamms work on my new-to-me Glimåkra loom. I get ‘what’ they do, just now ‘how’. If you get how they work, I’d love a video from you on that subject. Only speaking a bit slower, please, with pauses to allow some people time to process what you’re saying.

[@IMakeEverythingUK]

Hey, I don't know how different they are on the Glimakra but the lamms on my loom are there to centralise the downward force on the harnesses, so they don't get pulled crooked if you have them tied to one of the left or right treadles. I imagine it's similar on your loom. Sorry about the fast; I like fast videos myself, feel free to put me on half speed in the settings! ;-)

[@bethkolle1]

@@IMakeEverythingUK Thank you, I’ll ponder your explanation and play around with the mechanism with that in mind. I didn’t know I could slow things down in Settings, so another thanks for that!

[@magilser78]

I like the fast. Succinct and detailed, very impressive. I've watched a thousand weaving videos and this is one of the good ones. I like how you say the names of all the things, I like learning the names of traditional craft stuff.

[@sandymorrison1400]

I just forwarded your video to my husband, a hornsmith. He will be interested in the tapestry beater shown. Do you know if it was made with horn, ivory, or wood? Thanks!

It appears to be antler, here's the page about it: www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1938-0507-151

[@DAYBROK3]

please get nerdy about the history of weaving. people dont know how we get fabric and clothes these days.

[@IMakeEverythingUK]

Ha, ok, I will put it on the list of videos to make. 😁

@@IMakeEverythingUK im an art university student in the fiber arts program. watching my kid and her family wash their clothes brings to mind the reason it only took my parents and grand parents one or two days to do laundry even though it was so uch more work is they had so much less clothes.
