Weave a Dish Towel with Sugar n Cream Cotton Yarn on a Rigid Heddle Loom

[@KiKisandkidstrains]

Thank you. The way you listed your equipment and materials was clear. I also liked how you showed which yarn you used, how much you started with and how much was left. This was one of the most informative weaving videos I’ve seen.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am glad you found it helpful.

I hope you'll record more rigid heddle videos, especially using easily-available, inexpensive yarns. Much appreciated!

Nice! Thank you for this video.

Glad you liked it!

Very nice & always enjoy your videos.😊

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

Thank you

When I just saw the yarn didn't think this would be something I would like but wrong, the finished towel looks wonderful. Also just watched the how to make sunflowers video and will be making some soon. Thanks for your efforts

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

I am glad you liked it!

That is such a fun project. It is so nice. I was surprised it did not use much yarn especially compared to crochet! Does it take a long time to learn and did it take you a long time to make? I’ve always thought that would be a fun hobby! Thank you for your video!

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

There is definitely a learning curve when learning to weave. I watched A LOT of online videos. Probably an in person class or a guild would make it easier if you are close to one. Now that I have a bit of experience, that project took me about an hour and a half to warp and an afternoon to weave.

Have you tried drying dishes with the towel you made? I am wondering how well it dries. I made a towel out of organic cotton thread, but it did not dry my dishes as well as my store-bought towels.

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

I have made several dish towels and bath towels from the Sugar n Cream yarns. I have only had one bath towel that didn't dry well. I can't figure out why it doesn't but now our dog has a new blanket :)

Is your loom expensive It looks perfect for what I need

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

I started on a rigid heddle loom that I picked up from a garage sale for $20. After I realized how much I was going to enjoy weaving, I invested in a nicer loom. These Kromski rigid heddle looms range from $259.00 - $419.00. There is a link in the description above to the one I am using.

I'm warping up my loom (4 shaft table with string heddles) to make this dish towel. For a 26 inch towel, what was your reasoning for a 56 in warp?

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

The extra was for take-up, shrinkage, and mostly loom waste. Have fun weaving!

[@carolynthomas3367]

​@@DoodleDogPrimitives I kinda figured that out after I did some math! Thank you for the confirmation!

[@wandabechtel9613]

I do not have a rigid heddle loom but could you make these on a pot holder loom?

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

That's an interesting thought. I am really not sure if that would work or not. They would end up smaller but you could sew several together to get the size you want. Let us know how it goes!

[@ruthscharenbroch7221]

What brand is it

[@DoodleDogPrimitives]

The yarn is Sugar n Cream by Lily. The loom is a Kromski Harp Forte.
