A complete and total act of love! It is beautiful.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

It truly is! Thank you so much and thanks for watching ❤️

[@katrinadycer3788]

Great job and the fulling was very well explained

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Thank you! I'm glad the explanation was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@stephenrobb8759]

Thank you for letting us watch the progress. Seeing it helps it make sense far better than reading about it in books.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Glad it was helpful! I learn better by seeing and doing too. Thanks for watching.

What a beautiful blanket. You should be very proud of it. I love that twined edge.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Thank you so much. I'm very proud of it but ready for something simple! Thanks for watching 💗

[@DeedersW]

The technique reminds me of an I-cord edge in knitting. Very nice finish.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Interesting. An i-cord edge is basically a tube and this is definitely flat, but it does have a similar look. Thanks for watching.

[@DeedersW]

I really like this edge. I’ll have to try it on my next project.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

I think it turned out really nice. Thanks for watching!

[@sylvianelanglois7005]

Thx for this method. I will use it in my triangular shawl in progress on the loom. 🤩

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Glad you found it helpful. I really liked how it turned out for no fringe. Thanks for watching.

What a beautiful blanket. Thank you so much for sharing your finishing process.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Thank you! 😊 I loved sharing my journey with you. Thanks for watching.

Very Nice blanket. One day I hope to be able to do a doubleweave blanket. BTW, Looks like we have the same taste in bedroom furniture. I have the same bedroom set.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Thank you so much. You can do doubleweave! Start with something smaller so you understand the weave structure and the pitfalls. I highly recommend Jennifer Moore's book "Doubleweave, Revised and Expanded". Thanks for watching!

Congrats on a beautiful blanket. Huge ! I just wove a double width and open it 64 inches by 8 feet. I used Briggs and Little. Have 2 more to weave. One for each of my kids family. Been on my list to long. I did twist the fringe. Took forever it seemed. I hope holds up. Because heavy worsted weight I did use ski shuttles. Worked great. Still have to wet finish. I will probably do so in the sink. Not brave to use the machine.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Oh wow! What a great gift for your kid's family. Twisting fringe takes a long time. I joke that finishing a handwoven item takes just as long as weaving it! I like the ski shuttle idea ~ I think I need to get a couple of those. If you have an old fashioned washer that doesn't lock (like I do) you could fill it up and just soak the blanket in there. More room and you can use the machine to spin the water out. I do take mine out while the machine is filling though just to be safe. Thanks for watching!

How wide is your loom? This is a beautiful blanket!

[@tangledwebsweaving]

The loom is 54" weaving width. I warped for 2 layers 50" wide in the reed so 100" after opening. Thanks for watching.

[@brendaalley425]

What page in Peter's book is this twining technique discussed. I really like the look you obtained and would like to incorporate it in my own weaving. 😊

[@tangledwebsweaving]

The explanation is on page 503. The edge turned out great and is secure after fulling and trimming. Thanks for watching!
