Wow cool! She seemed so happy to share her craft

[@Aengus42]

It's just so nice & comfy to hear my accent on a KZbin video. As soon as she chirped up it was one of those "Oh, Hey! No wait..." moments ☺️

I'm watching this while side-eyeing the gigantic pile of Samoyed fur in the middle of my living room...

[@ShipperChick]

Oooh!!! I have 2 Corgis!!! That gives me a great idea!!! 😂

[@gfitz6001]

😂. I have heavy coated Pomeranians. My “ravelry” moniker is “pomerino”. 😆. (This remark is in response to “AlGoreRhythm”.)

[@sandrawarner4981]

Absolutely fascinating to watch and her passion for her craft is infectious! Beautiful!

[@andrewtick9832]

That was both good, and basic 👍

[@ilanasharon30]

And creative yet.

[@austingarrigus755]

I might bring this sort of weaving up at the conference I'm going to this weekend.They have a fiber track where they teach people how to felt, weave, and knit

[@edieboudreau9637]

Would really have liked to see the other end to see how it comes together on ends.

[@-Honeybee]

This seems to really be a great representation of the thesis of that "back to basics" idea.

[@ke9tv]

Cool! I'd expected a tapestry loom with the warp tensioned on pegs (another device that goes back to the Neolithic!) but this design was totally different, and I hadn't seen one before.

[@silverwater211]

I had done a rag rug with old T-shirts cut in threads and my pegs were old marker pens.

thanks for this video! really interesting!

[@doro5419]

Fascinating!

[@leonievrolijk752]

Geweldig .en zo.leuk om te doen

[@QlueDuPlessis]

This answers so many questions.

[@GoodandBasic]

Like what? JB

[@QlueDuPlessis]

Like how weaving worked before the industrial revolution. I always imagined a far more laborious process.

[@AuraQueenDraconis]

@@QlueDuPlessis It was a more laborious process! This is just one of the more simple methods. In fact, weaving in many parts of Europe in the past was something that was mainly left to men because the looms were so hard to operate. However, weaving hasn't really changed much! If you look up how to weave on a floor loom, you'll get a lot more information on how weaving used to be.

[@ilanasharon30]

@@GoodandBasic Answering on your question: how to twist row wool/fiber/alpacas hair by hand, what proportion to use (approximately). Very informative video. And very creative. Thanks for sharing.

[@GoodandBasic]

I'm very pleased. Thank you. JB

[@miraclo3]

neat.

[@darrengreen7906]

Welcome to the UK. Did you like Somerset?? Did you try any of the Fudge?? I love it.

[@codymaltzman945]

What is the rope or string being used I am fascinated

[@edieboudreau9637]

I kept losing her voice in the back ground voices when she was explaining how tp do it. Could you put in banners there?

[@gramursowanfaborden5820]

what are the blokes in the background on about? wooden boards being high status objects? that is really interesting. were you here in England for this? edit: end of the video answered my question, still want to know about the Anglo-Saxon tabletops being considered high status though!

[@GoodandBasic]

The voices in the background were demonstrating log hewing. They are also from newhaven coppice.JB

[@gramursowanfaborden5820]

@@GoodandBasic cool stuff. do they only practise dark age/medieval crafts or are they also interested in much older things?

[@GoodandBasic]

I'm not sure. Peg loom weaving is older though. JB

Lovely to see our cultural skills being passed on...but oh my I feel for her knees😫
