D'awwwww ❤️❤️❤️

[@simonelawson9039]

Please make a video on how to do that fringe. It is so beautiful.

[@jancooper6732]

Beautiful weave! Your way of doing the clasping is much simpler than what I’ve seen before. Thanks for sharing!

[@rebekahkimsey9593]

You just made clasped weft so easy! I would love to see a video on hand twisting fringe. Keep your awesome videos coming🧶🧣

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so so much!! 😃

[@sandianonymous3542]

Your videos are such fun to watch - love, love your color sense and the ease of explanation! I'd love to see a video on the fringe twisting!

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nancygould9478]

I love the scarf and I love your dress! You are such an artist!

[@tommygenoa358]

Simply awesome and beautiful 😎👍

[@sherylmcfall5656]

Hello Andrea, my 10 year granddaughter is learning to weave and she saw your clasped weft design and away she went. Thankyou for your videos. We live in New Zealand .

[@AndreaAlexander]

That means SO much to me! Happy weaving!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@giggleparade]

Oh my god! Your work is astounding!!!! Please keep creating art and posting! I love everything you’re about. The mountains and intentions with each peak and valley was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[@AndreaAlexander]

I LOVE YOU, JESS! Thank you SO much for your kindness and support 🥰

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much for watching!! What is your favorite weaving technique? ❤️

[@megm.]

I'm brand new so I don't have a favorite yet - but I love learning and seeing what others have done. Thank you for the fun video!

[@AndreaAlexander]

@@megm. This one is super easy if you want to give it a try!! 😉 You can do so much with it, it doesn't just have to be little mountains like what I did. I honestly find it addicting and incorporate it in some way in all of my designs!

[@feltlikeitbydebs]

Thank you for sharing your fun creative and easy going technique. I will definitely give this a go. ❤

[@mastinomama8939]

Wonderful! And yes, pleeeaaaase, a fringing video would be much appreciated.

[@dianalimbach4584]

Thank you for sharing your technique. You made it look fun and easy!

[@jackiewilson9751]

Great video. Easy to follow along. Pleasant clear voice. Good camera work. Look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! ❤️

[@ConnieChristenson-t5y]

Can’t wait to try it. Thanks.

[@jennifermoore8096]

I really enjoyed this video. It showed me an easier way to do clasp weaving than I had been labouring away at before. My favourite part was the POOF method of warping!

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad this could be helpful ❤️

[@heycrisper]

I have GOT to try this on my rigid heddle loom! I saw a scarf recently that had triangle wedges in different of colours with a simple grey background and would LOVE to make that as a winter scarf!

[@freddietreehugger8144]

Lol, you are so joyful! You make me smile!

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so so much 😃💕 Your comments made my day!!

[@alimac5826]

watching your videos is making me really excited to try weaving at university this year!

[@AndreaAlexander]

You’re going to have so much fun 🤗💕

[@wolliel]

I love watching your videos, you clearly have a love for the quirky side of life :)

[@AndreaAlexander]

This means so much to me! Thank you!! 😃

[@rainbowgal8047]

excellent all around. your presentation was clear, crisp, pleasant, concise, informative and joyful. i am glad i found you and i subbed immediately. thanks for sharing your lovely soul.

[@AndreaAlexander]

You are so kind, you totally made my day!! Thank you so much 🥰

[@katherineraven6381]

Really love this♡

[@HJKelley47]

I wish warping my 24" Kromski Harp Rigid Heddle was that easy as well (LOL). I love clasped weft as well. Made my first clasped weft piece a year ago. Fascinated with the look it gives a piece of woven fabric.

[@AndreaAlexander]

That was my way to get around filming the boring warping process 🤣 I really love the clasped-weft, too! Especially how versatile it is. I find myself throwing a little into almost everything I make nowadays, I just can't help it!

[@ActonCreative]

This is great!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much for watching! 😃❤️

[@judirutherford9900]

Thank you! Like the idea of changing the sides where the yarns come in! Yes to fringing tecnnique video!

Thank you so much!! :D

Oh and thank you💐🍁🧶

Yee Yee!!!!

[@noahreeves3240]

The different video angles are brilliant! Fantastic editing and I would love to have a video on the twisting technique!

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :D

[@terrydickson6468]

Love this ❤️

[@ReginaSober]

You made this look really easy to do! It's beautiful!

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much!! 😃❤️

[@eyeamdust]

I just sat and watched each of your videos. Such incredible fabrics! Such great garments and accessories. I can't weave anymore due to increased weakness in one of my arms, so I'm both jealous and awed by your art. I look forward to more videos. Sara of "Crafting with Compassion" recommended your channel.

[@AndreaAlexander]

I'm so sorry to hear that you can't weave anymore 😞 Thank you so much for watching and for your kindness, I really appreciate it! ❤️

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

love the project

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much!! I think it will help make the winter a little less miserable 🤣

[@wynterscastings1398]

Really nice!

Thank you! 😃💕

[@sheilaelliott9691]

Lovely

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you! 😃💕

[@charlesdavis7616]

Great video! What’s the advantage of changing the shed BEFORE beating?

[@AndreaAlexander]

I was taught that it prevents your weft threads from becoming too taught, because changing the sheds gives your yarn a bit of slack. I've seen plenty of people change sheds after beating, so I'm not sure if it makes too much of a difference! :)

[@charlesdavis7616]

Thank you for your quick and helpful reply. I will try the “before” beat.

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@carolpa2001]

Great video and would love to see your fringe twisting technique...thanks

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you!! 😃

[@juanitasmith6157]

I love this. Can you share the fringe trick?

[@salmonknits4815]

Your account is confirming my wish to obtain a Saori loom of my own! I've taken two classes at the Saori studio in NYC (Loop of the Loom). Your clear and fun videos are very inspiring. Would like to see your fringe technique. Also, might you consider a video where you show more details on warping the loom?

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much for watching!! I actually got the warp and yarns for this project from Loop of the Loom! I definitely recommend getting a Saori loom, they’re a whole lot of fun 😄 I haven’t really figured out how to show the warping process and make it fun.. it’s definitely my least favorite part haha but I showed a little more of the details in my video where I make matching jackets for me and my cat!

[@salmonknits4815]

@@AndreaAlexander I'll rewatch the cat video and slow down that part! Hooray for Loop of the Loom.

[@paulagardner1651]

I love your videos, and yes, a video on hand twisting the fringe would be great! Also, love your dress, could you direct us as to where to purchase the pattern? 🤗

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much!! The dress pattern is the "Demeter Dress" by Anna Allen Clothing. She sells the pattern on Etsy :)

[@perlavera1308]

[@AndreaAlexander]

🥰🥰🥰

[@cerwelt]

Can you do this with a stick shuttle? I’m only on my second weaving project ever. I think I can visualize doing it, but you have more experience so I’m asking.

[@AndreaAlexander]

Absolutely! This can be done with any kind of shuttle, or just by holding yarn in your hands (but it's a little more fiddly that way). 🥰

[@jaanvigulati3452]

can you give a link for the weave pattern and draft pattern for the scarf? your work is amazing.

[@AndreaAlexander]

Thank you so much! There actually isn't a weave or a draft pattern, I just used a red ready-made warp from the SAORI brand and improvised the triangle pattern/design using the clasped-weft technique that I showed in the video!

[@gmlight56]

I was wondering how that pattern was done…

[@pathuskins1830]

Why at least 2 sheds? Easy to do on a rigid heddle too

[@AndreaAlexander]

A rigid heddle also has 2 sheds 🤗
