Tufted Texture [Ghiordes Knot, Knotted Pile Texture]

[@christistapay353]

On our trip to Egypt, we visited a carpet making school because -well- I’m a weaving nerd. They were using the exact same method you show for the rya knots when the yarn is still attached to a hank! But they’re using a super thin strand of yarn (mostly silk) to make enormous carpets. Can you imagine?! It takes them months and sometimes years!!! So impressive!!

[@spruceandlinen]

I can't imagine working on one piece for so long!

Before I viewed this video I was playing around with fringe of 2 colors. Liked the look of it. Now I think I'll go back & trim it up to give it this effect. Thanks for another technique to add something new. Have a great day.

[@lesliejoliet3500]

I absolutely love this! I can see this as a stand alone piece framed within a small shadow box type frame. How cool! Thank you for sharing and teaching us.

[@spruceandlinen]

Totally, that would be so pretty!

[@Seekingtheshift]

This is an absolutely great tutorial, Jennell! I wanted to learn how to create this texture and it seems that, like magic, I find a video by you that FULLY shows how to accomplish it! Thank you! PS I also love the little bloopers you add at the end of your videos. 🙂

[@jgordy4840]

Fun technique, liked the trimmed look. 🌵

[@spruceandlinen]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Crybaybee]

Just started a a large weaving with this technique a few days ago! Loved the video to get more pointers thank you!!

[@spruceandlinen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kimconnolly2455]

Looks fabulous! I’m just doing a black and cream weave for my daughter-in-law. Will maybe add in a section of this! Thanks, love your work.

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you so much! I'm loving this texture :)

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi Jennell hope you're OK x and that Cody and pets are too x loving this. Texture looks so good especially with using more than one strand of yarn in more than one colour. A great way of using leftover yarns. MY minds already running in all sorts of directions on using this texture. I'm off to try this out. Keep weaving x keep smiling x keep safe and well all of you lots of love Jen xxx

[@spruceandlinen]

That's great! Have fun with it!

[@deannataggart9838]

I love your tutorials and I hope you keep doing them!!. They give me additional ideas to add texture and interest to my weavings! By the way, I just received my first order from you. I got it in about a week! All the way to Colorado! I love the roving and can't wait to purchase additional colors. I am so relieved that you worked on bringing the shipping to a realistic cost because that is what kept me from ordering the last few months. One request: do you have any examples of finished weavings of the cactus? I bought a loom but would love to see how you have done them. Thanks for your daily posts and tutorials!

[@spruceandlinen]

I am also relieved I've been able to mostly fix the shipping calculations, it's definitely a lot closer now! you can check out one of the cactus weavings I did here: instagram.com/p/B5jxb6nDJm5/

[@marisacaballero2238]

Love it 😍

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you! It’s a fun technique 😊

[@Bb.ligaya]

[@kiraavalon534]

Thanks for sharing!!! It’s like my weaving school for the week!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@spruceandlinen]

I love it :)

[@iwuese]

Thank you so much for breaking this down so simply as always. Loved the bloopers at the end. 😂

[@spruceandlinen]

Hahaha, ya this one had a lot of blooper haha.

[@AlieOli]

[@jacquelinewalker3575]

Thank you, I love this technique, will definitely give it a try. 😁

[@spruceandlinen]

Have fun!

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi Jenell, was wondering if you connect the plain weave at both sides. I did so, but was just asking for clarification on this. Thanks for this tutorial and for the time that you put into them . Keep weaving,keep smiling,keep safe and well. Lots of love to you and Cody and big hugs to your pets. Jen xxxx

[@spruceandlinen]

Yes, I connected it on both sides to help with the structure!

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

@@spruceandlinen hi Jenell I thought so but wasn't too sure . Think my age is getting to me, could be fibromyalgia as well. Thanks for telling me though. Your help is much appreciated as you know. Spent last 2 days watching everything you do. Live watching you anyway. Can't wait to see what tutorial you have lined up this week and the vlog as well. Keep weaving,keep smiling,keep safe and well. Lots of love Jen xxxx

[@marinahoffstrom360]

This is not the way I do this. My Finnish grandmother made rya rugs and I learned the method as a child. You use a thick rya needle 🪡 and sew the knots, wrapping the long strand over a ruler like stick, making the strands all even length. Then you cut the whole row at once (or leave them as loops) and the strands will be all the same lengths. This method is so much faster! Thanks for an inspirational video!

[@ArielMcCurdy1]

Okay, I bought a weaving class that taught this technique but it did not include the added layers of tabby weaving. I think that is such a great idea!

[@spruceandlinen]

Oh really? I think this will help the structure stay put for sure.

[@makes-allsorts]

Loved this, I knew how to do this with the cut pieces but couldn’t get my head around leaving the yarn 🧶 whole, so much better, can I ask if you didn’t cut would you then be able to make a different style of loops?

[@spruceandlinen]

Are you talking rya loops? I have a video on that as well, and that allows you to keep the yarn on the ball: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJKWaGlrnJqjgK8

[@ninagnation]

This is going to sound kind of crazy, but do you think you could take an electric razor type cutter and "shave" patterns into the texture?

[@scandillyclad2408]

That's what I've done. Looks awesome. Just don't cut the fibres when they are too long as you'll knacker your shaver

[@spruceandlinen]

Very cool!

[@KristinMoran]

The small pieces of yarn you cut off could be carded with wool to make a lovely tweed yarn.

[@sam31a]

Hoi from Nederland 🇳🇱 🙋🏼‍♀️. Found your vlog, bean weaving since. I do have a question though. You say not to let the sides come in but on this end weave , which is pretty, the sides come in a lot. Is this done on purpose? I ask because everyone who weaves this is a major no no. Thankyou ❤

[@spruceandlinen]

This is one of our older videos- but this was a sample piece- usually when I do sample pieces I'm a bit less fussy with the edges, however I still wouldn't classify this as coming in a lot, some drawing in is normal, but likely when I was weaving the centre I just wasn't leaving enough slack.

[@hsunchen6646]

Can I trim it off loom?

[@spruceandlinen]

Yes, but I think it would be more difficult when it's not under tension.

[@emaleighcarr]

I tried this and there are gaps...any tips ?

[@spruceandlinen]

I show at 6:15 that you'll need to connect the sides with the middle to avoid gaps.
