Came for the information but was fascinated with your loom, it’s beautiful!

[@KellyCasanova]

It's an Ashford 24" rigid heddle loom 😊

[@PNWwonder]

You touched on something we are all guilty of…. Being too critical of our work. Thanks for the great tips as usual!

[@adamakaru2683]

Great as usual thank you.

[@christathefroehlich]

Thank you for making that so clear! I have really been struggling with that

[@KellyCasanova]

Glad to help Christa! 😊

[@cerwelt]

Thanks for the closeup demonstration. Looking forward to my first weave soon. Just received my first loom. Nice to have good demonstrations!

[@KellyCasanova]

Congratulations on your first loom, you will love it! 😀

[@TLL65]

Looks great! I use this method from watching your videos. 👍🏻

[@KellyCasanova]

Wonderful, I'm glad it works for you!

[@rosemaryschaub7219]

Love it!!!!

I follow you from Colombia, thank you very much for your teachings. you explain so well that the language barrier has not been an impediment to learning

That is wonderful, thank you Vicky! 🥰

Gracias Elena! 🥰

Excellent video thanks!!

Glad it was helpful! 😊

[@ileanalavender2893]

Thank you, I’ve made several pieces and have always woven the ends in at the end 🥲 This will be a life changing 🤩

[@KellyCasanova]

Glad to help!

Thank you

[@KellyCasanova]

You're welcome! 😀

[@elizabethsielaff3414]

I have always tucked my weft tails back into the same shed but I like the way it looks tucking in the next shed, as you do it. Also, I think your method is more secure. Thank you :-)

[@KellyCasanova]

Give my method a try and see what you think. If you don't like it, you can always go back to your usual way 😉

[@elizabethsielaff3414]

@@KellyCasanova a year ago I changed to your method and have not looked back !

[@rainbowgal8047]

Thank you, Kelly! I've been tucking my tails in wherever I run out (saving every inch of yarn I can), and wondering if that was my wisest choice. That was a very helpful explanation. Also, you mentioned a Russian join. I'm curious what that is. Might you do a video on that? Thanks again. This video just felt so soothing to me, helpful in myriad ways. Thanks for all you do and share. Wishing you and your family well.

[@KellyCasanova]

There are lots of videos on the Russian join as knitters use it. I won't make a video, as I don't use the method myself, but I think it will be easy for you to find a demonstration just by searching the term.

[@rainbowgal8047]

@@KellyCasanova yes, I began watching parts of some videos on it right then. Looks a bit like clasped weft from the little I've seen so far. I may explore more in time, but your way works well already. Thanks again.

[@carolemorrison7163]

Thanks

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you Carole 🥰

[@godofredocarlos6422]

Its posible to do the wide edge

[@cathypowell6382]

As usual you make it look easy. What do you think about working your yarn up along the salvage without cutting?

[@cathypowell6382]

Never mind I found your video on my question 😊

[@maralusis5434]

Thank you for the video. It will be very helpful for me. Question, though - do you cut the tails on the back flush with the fabric ? Before or after wet finishing?

[@KellyCasanova]

I'm kicking myself that I didn't address this question in the video, I really should have! So, you cut the tails after wet finishing and drying, then cut flush with the fabric 😉

[@maralusis5434]

@@KellyCasanova Thank you ! I kind of thought that, but wanted to check to make sure. Love your videos! Once I finish with knitting for a sale in October and Christmas presents, I intend to concentrate on weaving and take some of your classes.

[@lynnrosenkranz-saviskas927]

So then what do you do with the little tail bits that are hanging down on the backside? Thank you very much for your instructions!

[@KellyCasanova]

After you have wet finished and dried the piece, you can cut them close to the fabric with sharp scissors (just be careful not to cut your actual fabric!)

[@lynnrosenkranz-saviskas927]

@@KellyCasanova Thank you Kelly!

[@mendyviola]

what are your thoughts on using a Russian join if the thread is the same (color/type/etc.)?

[@KellyCasanova]

Yes, you totally can, I just find weaving them in really fast and easy.

[@janelletidey134]

Hi Kelly. Thanks for the great video. Just wondering what loom you are using? I know you have them listed but I can't seem to find the one you are using in this video. Thanks. Australia.

[@KellyCasanova]

It's the 10" Ashford Sampleit. This is my affiliate link for Thread Collective if you want to check that out- threadcollective.com.au/products/sampleit-loom-25cm-ashford?variant=39451965063353&sca_ref=873080.4NvuyaEzBw

@@KellyCasanova big thanks. Now to push for it to be my birthday pressie hehehe

[@KellyCasanova]

@@janelletidey134 Just as a heads up, all Ashford product prices are going up soon.

[@polarjeez]

Would you ever knot a weft tail into a warp string to secure it? I’m trying to weave with larger wool yarn and am still worried about them unraveling or coming out

[@KellyCasanova]

No, I wouldn't. Knots are usually visible in weaving. Another way to deal with them is to leave the tails a bit longer (long enough to thread in a tapestry needle) and needle weave them in once the piece is of the loom, but before wet finishing.

[@polarjeez]

@@KellyCasanova Perfect, thanks so much! Your videos have helped me a ton!
