Weaving Fun Dish Towels on my Rigid Heddle Loom

[@avrilp317]

What a great effect! I love the way you have altered the colours. The change does give them a 3d appearance. It’s truly amazing what can happen with a little change. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 😁

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

Thank you 😊 I believe colors have magical effects 😁

[@SimplySuja126]

I absolutely love the effect you managed to obtain with threading your heddle in this manner, the colors are beautiful . Thanks for sharing !

Hi God bless you I have a question for you can I make a baby blanket with that with a soft yarn and where can I buy that machine at

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

Of course you can make a baby blankets! I have actually made several with my 32" rigid heddle loom. Here's two of them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnLNk5ivZ7yUraM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZfKaXWdhqh4psk Also, there are many shops that sell such looms. If you are in the US, there's the Woolery that has a great selection. Here's the link (affiliate): woolery.com/ashford-rigid-heddle-loom.html?aff=214

[@gerryivkovich1857]

So are you using 2 strands in each opening for the warp and weaving with one strand of 8/2 cotton? I have only used 8/4 and done a single strand for both the warp and the weft. I do like the way your color works in the warp. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

Yes, that's exactly it! I believe that the different with your towels would be the final thickness of the towel 😊

[@mihikasharma1979]

What is heddle dent that you used for this dish towel??

[@sdances124]

What size dent are you using thanks great video💕

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

I'm using my 10 DPI heddle 😊

[@carolinekestler3753]

Thank you for sharing this method. I am very new to weaving. How do you measure your towels while you are weaving? Do you keep measuring as you advance the warp until you reach the middle or mark it somehow before you start weaving?

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

Good question! At the moment, I like to use a masking tape to track my weaving progess. Once I have measured a few inches, I note it on the tape and stick it to my project. As I keep weaving, I keep on advancing my tape and noting on it how much I have woven 😊

[@liza5532]

I use Ikea paper measuring tapes, pinning them on as I go. This allows me to write notes ahead of time on the tape where colors changes. Old school is you can make your own out of ribbon (grosgrain)

[@catherineoconnor15]

Love your videos!! Where do you purchase your yarn?

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

Thank you! I mostly use Maurice Brassard yarn and I'm lucky enough to live 1h away from them. So I buy directly from the factory. I love their yarns and I believe that they have many resellers around the world. If you are in the United States, their yarn is available through The Woolery's website.

Bonjour, est-ce que tu peux faire les videos français.

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

Bonjour. C'est un de mes souhaits de faire des vidéos en français sur les bases du tissage. Comme j'ai un horaire très chargé à l'heure actuelle, je ne sais pas quand ces vidéos seront faits. Mais ils s'en viennent :)

[@Pasdenom4545]

Bonjour, cela serait vraiment sympa@@Curly_n_Yarny . Car même lorsque l'on comprend l'anglais c'est parfois technique. Personnellement j'ai dû mal à comprendre quand utiliser les différents peignes suivant la laine..
