My Drawloom

A tour of my beloved Glimakra/Myrehed combination drawloom with a discussion about how it works and a damask-weaving demo.

Important correction!! One of the websites in the 'Further Info' section at the end contains an egregious typo. It should be www.Vavstuga.com.

What a fantastic video! I really appreciate the clear and comprehensive presentation, particularly as someone just dipping my toes into weaving 🌻🌻🌻

Thank you very much for taking the time to write. Welcome to the great wide world of weaving - and when you get your first drawloom, I hope you'll send me a pic!

Beautiful presentation, thank you for sharing the magic of your loom

[@DuellingRabbits]

Thank you so much!

Thank you for this video! It is so informative, and I appreciate your straightforward presentation.

[@DuellingRabbits]

Sophia, thank you very much for your comments. I am glad you found my little vid helpful. I hope you will check out some of my other offerings - my mission is to promote and de-mystify drawloom weaving for anybody who will listen. And frankly, I think my video-production quality has improved a lot since this first effort ;-)

really it is amazing Amy (I saw it before but I am very happy with it)

[@DuellingRabbits]

It is funny to think that when I made that video I didn't think I would ever make another! I am glad it has stood up well - but I do think my production values have improved a lot since then ;-) Thank you as always for your kind comment.

Thank you for introducing me to drawloom. I’m relatively new to weaving an 8 shaft ash ford jack loom.

[@DuellingRabbits]

Welcome to the wonderful world of weaving! An 8-shaft jack setup is a great loom for exploring structures and patterns - and who knows? Maybe a drawloom some day? I wish you many happy years of learning and beautiful projects.

WOW!

I know, right? Drawlooms are amazing!
