Weaving with a Temple

[@lilaralston6314]

So happy to learn what a "temple" means in weaving! I have wondered ever since I heard Steeleye Span sing "The Weaver and the Factory Maid"!

[@DuellingRabbits]

Awesome. I love weaving songs - off to check it out!

[@audreylok9915]

I LOVE this song! Met Maddy Prior backstage at Berkeley Performance Center decades ago.

Hope it was helpful - thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@GadBoDag]

Thank you for this clear and thorough video! Also, I am blown away by how fine and intricate your fabrics are! Wow!

[@DuellingRabbits]

Thank you so much for your comment - I am glad the vid makes sense. As for the fabric, well, I would give 95% of the credit to my awesome loom ;-)

[@GrandmaY]

Thank you so much for your clear instructions!

[@DuellingRabbits]

My absolute pleasure. I'm glad they make sense 😉

[@jillc720]

Such a well done video…I hope you do more!

[@DuellingRabbits]

Thank you very much! My channel is pretty much devoted to double-harness weaving, but if you have a particular interest I do take requests 😉

Another informative video! I agree with you in that a temple is a very desired tool to have, and I love the Glimakra wooden temples above all others. Happy New Year, Amy!

[@DuellingRabbits]

Happy New Year to you too, Geri! Here's to another great year of weaving for us all. *clink*

[@BellaskinRevive]

Thank you for the tutorial. Am subscribing to your channel. This makes weaving lovely

[@DuellingRabbits]

Thank you so much for your comment - and for subscribing to my channel! I've had to take a short break, but I hope to be back at the drawloom in the next couple of weeks. Please stay tuned ;-)

Your video's have persuaded me to buy a second hand Glimakra counterbalance loom, and I love it! Your video's have also helped me a lot during troubleshooting and this one on temples is the first one on the subject that has answered all the questions that come to mind at once.

[@DuellingRabbits]

I'm delighted that you are enjoying your counterbalance loom! They are great to weave on, I agree. Thank you for the feedback on the temple video: I tried to think of all the questions I had when I started using temples myself and went from there.

[@janetgiardina8603]

Love the pieces you’re working on.

[@DuellingRabbits]

Thank you so much, Janet! The structure is Beiderwand, which is very cool and fun to design for. My next video will be all about it - should be up within the week. ~Amy

I love your videos

[@DuellingRabbits]

Thank you very much!

[@natashapetrova7936]

Please respond. Is it possible to reduce Temple Glimakra 40-66 inches) to the required 28 -20 inches.? Your video inspired me! )

[@DuellingRabbits]

I am so happy you are inspired! Temples come in a wide range of sizes, although I suppose you could cut one down in an emergency. I think I have one in every size and use them all!

[@natashapetrova7936]

I am grateful. I perceive it as a creative help. Fifty thousand kilometers away, there are really only 40"-66". And my loom is 28." Either now or in another life! Your answer is very important to me! Thank you. Happy weaving! Be healthy!@@DuellingRabbits

@@natashapetrova7936 Another solution is clips and weights: these are pretty easy to rig with everyday items. Here is a pic of the idea: www.yarnbarn-ks.com/Temple-Clip/productinfo/WA-TM-TEMC/

What company is temple from ?

[@DuellingRabbits]

Carol, the wooden temples are from Glimakra in Sweden.
