Woven/Weaving Rainbow Dishtowels on a Rigid Heddle Loom - Yes, Again. I'm Obsessed

[@celestedouville2529]

I LOVE this warp. I just inherited a huge weaving studio and am looking forward to working through my grief as I remember and re-learn all things weaving. This rainbow dishtowel warp will definitely be one of the first projects I create when all of the cotton warp arrives. Thank you.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I'm sorry for your loss. There is another set of rainbow towels on a rigid heddle loom of you go back far enough

[@bonnielundholm5535]

I love the rainbow colors.

[@jessicacarter8945]

I LOVE THAT WARP!

[@spincrochetrepeatrcc8961]

There's something so therapeutic about watching someone weave.... beautiful work!

[@saundramcdowell1593]

Trish I am loving your channel. I am on our sailboat in Belize this season BUT when I get home to Texas in late May I will begin my spinning "journey" with my new Kromski Castle wheel that I got 1 week before we left for our boat in Guatemala. Santa was sweet but cruel at the same time as I was not able to mess with my wheel, which I am a total newbie at. My husband felt sorry for me as he watched me card and hand spin my yarn....thus he bought me the wheel. So I have watched your spinning videos your dying videos and because I have a crappy heddle loom I watch your weaving videos. I am happy to be part of your tribe and I am counting the days to be back home to get on that WHEEL and start learning. Thanks for all you do for this community. I'll keep watching. Saundra on s/v Island Sol. ❤

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Well that is wonderful! I bet it's hard to find space on a sailboat, but your trip sounds wonderful!

[@fibermethis6740]

Thanks for sharing you are helping so many!

[@taniamitchell604]

Oh look, a video just for me to try out my new loom.

[@taniamitchell604]

Yep, I'm going to try it. Maybe not so many colours for the warp. Would do my head in. In saying that, they do look gorgeous. Awesome Trish

[@miraposa99]

Brilliant

[@lmchatwin77]

Cute little Luther. He makes me smile.

[@suewarren7738]

❤ thank you thank you thank you. You are amazing and real.

[@liza5532]

You have the bestest balance between planning things out and rolling with what ya get!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

That's a really nice compliment, thank you! I used to try to white knuckle control practically everything in my life, but it didn't really work 😂😂😂😂

[@73lmargaret]

I love the world's cutest photobomber!! And the towel is gorgeous! Thank you for the video!

[@Rowanstarr]

Nice colors

[@teresac.m.355]

Your puppy makes me giggle every video.

[@elewysoffinchingefeld3066]

I love this project! I've done a ton of narrow band weaving but not much on the rigid heddle and I really need some new placemats! I also need to clone myself to have more time to do all the things!

[@creativitybytrisha6819]

This warp looks so fun!

[@karvau05]

Love your weaving videos, can’t wait to see the finished towels😁

[@kimlyne9700]

It’s easy to be obsessed with towels because you can always use more! I have plenty of scarves/shawls now, but I can always use more towels. I’m still waiting on your floor loom video! 😜

[@SmallFossy]

Oh darn, now I want to try weaving! Your towels are beautiful, love the rainbow design.

[@karenwhitt9988]

They look great!

[@dawanariley4183]

Wow love they colors. I love to weave but still buy tools for spinning

[@IJRoz]

I love your colorful warp! A lot of work there to get set up. Always enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

That's true, but once I'm set up, I can just weave and weave without doing much thinking at all! 😂

[@rockinrobin1975]

I love the waffle weave ones!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I like them too, but I haven't learned to love weaving them yet 😂

[@CrazyMountain_Fiberworks]

Those are going to be beautiful

[@katlynkoester]

I LOVE how this warp looks! Can't wait to see the finished towels! 🌈

[@teresac.m.355]

Towels are my favorite thing to weave as well. I have some that are over 20 years old and still look great

[@joelwilliams5634]

I do love watching your weaving videos. Stay well

[@monikehawkes-frost6923]

Love the colours. What fun, thanks

[@bonniemcgee6648]

I just picked up a rigid heddle loom can’t wait to try it. 🥰

[@candygrubisic]

I've never done weaving on a big loom but still like watching learning. No room here for one and god knows I don't need another hobby on top of what I already do LOL. LOVE, LOVE the colors and look of those rainbow ones every time you do them 😊

[@dexterlovesannie]

Awesome job from supervisor Gus but that crazy Luther stole the show again 🤣😍 I will do towels one day... you have persuaded me that it's worth the effort!

[@karatstixraw]

Those towels are going to look amazing!!

[@gerryivkovich1857]

The black looks amazing as a weft! Now I'll have to get out my larger loom. Thanks for all you do. I love watching you.

[@emmasmom60]

I love the rainbow! You are cute all the time...you don't need to "get cute".

[@suebrady6179]

Beautiful color design!

[@StitchingNana]

Those are going to be very pretty towels. I’ve made a few towels and really like them.

[@teresac.m.355]

Thank you for another great video

[@heatherkather653]

Gorgeous towels! 🌈

[@lisasiedenstrang5208]

Oh yay!! Can’t wait to give it a try!! Beautiful colors Trish!! Thank you!!❤️

[@beverleylawton6899]

Amazing warp Trish! So inspiring and the towels will be amazing!

[@vickyk5510]

These are going to be so cheery! I can't wait to be able to get my loom out and learn to weave.

[@pennygonzalez8772]

I can be inside and have the AC blasting, and STILL sweat when warping the RHL. These are gorgeous Trish!!!

[@avalontampsett5023]

Love your pattern of the weaving.

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi Trish I hope you're OK. Love the Rainbow warp for your New Towels. I hope one day I'll be confident enough to weave something like these. I don't have a Rigid Heddle Loom but have 2 that I could use to try them out on. They would be one towel at a time. You are so inspiring ❤. Love watching whatever you do. Happy weaving, take care and stay safe Love you back.💕 Jen xx 💖😘

[@lorim.8136]

Those are so pretty! I can’t wait to see them all done. They look so bright and cheerful. I love happy colours 😁

[@JoyfulStitching]

Just beautiful! I’m really going to get some warped before Sunday! I’m inspired :)

[@plansandprocrastination]

Gorgeous set!!! You've got to keep one :)

[@melaniereising5661]

I’m going to dust off my loom and get started!

[@WellWoopdidoo]

The waffle stitch is awesome, looks like it gives them some nice squishy texture. And I love the rainbow! You’ve gotta try something before you know you don’t like it. That’s why I eat mushrooms once a year, I might change my mind one day. 😄

[@jessicawright1656]

This process was very influential on my current towel project. I had never double threaded my heddles before, but it turned out great. I used one of your previous towel weaving shows for my dimensions, etc. This is great info. I'm using a floor loom because that's what I've got, so I warp a little different.

[@elizabethernest]

Loved your funny moments in the beginning with Luther, I needed that laugh today! The pattern looks amazing, can't wait to see them finished!! And the first time I tried to warp my RH loom it took me 3 hours and I threw my back and neck out trying to fix a tension issue-- on top of all the sweating...inside...with the air conditioning on.🙄😆😆

[@redmonika10]

I absolutely love the black weft. I think I'm going to try these. Now I gotta get some 8/2 in different colors. LOL

[@rebeccahenkins1697]

I Love kitchen towels! I keep thinking one day I want to try bathroom fun towels - ZI have crocheted bathroom towels ADN they are so soft - but small cause it uses so much yarn! LOL

[@jam4441]

I am wondering if there is a weaving equivalent to Raverly? I am a newbie to weaving and love your videos thank you for sharing .

[@LisaMyEclecticLife]

Beautiful towels, I love to warp with two ends per slot, but have used two weft ends as well. I love how yours turned out with using only one weft thread. I will do that next time. Blessings.

[@caroledean2249]

Where do you get the wide Mylar sheets

[@shirleybryant2253]

I'm a brand new weaver, just got my first rigid heddle loom. How are you tying your warp to the front apron bar? I love your videos! Thank you for all you do. You are truly inspiring.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I am using a technique called lashing on. I explain it better here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5THqGl3rph8gac

[@lorainew4281]

Luther is a hoot! I laughed out loud, he is so cute! I really loved this video Trish, thank you for showing how you figure out your patterns, that was very informative! I’ll have to try the 8/2 from Great Northern but I really love Bluegrass Mills 6/2 cotton yarn from the Woolery for towels. I’ve used it with two heddles for a nice basket weave and it was the perfect thickness for me. I found that 8/4 cotton and the Sugar ‘n Cream are too thick for towels for me, I like them to have more drape and not such bulky hems. I can’t wait to see your finished towels!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I don't always figure out the patterns the same way, but that is how I did this one. Next time I'll show again if I do something different! Maybe I will try the 6/2 sometime. I have a bit of 8/2 to get through first 😂 Very early on, I did a little skinny towel(ish) thing with sugar and cream to figure out if I liked it. I use them to sit next to the sink when I handwash stuff. They're nice for that, but otherwise too thick for me too!

[@lorainew4281]

@@FiberLoveDiary That’s an excellent idea for the sugar n cream towels! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@maryjamerson8288]

I use sugar ‘n cream for warp and 8/2 cotton for weft but the hems are still thick.

[@sandrakleiman6154]

What size loom and the size of warp?thank you Trish

[@AnExpatKnits]

What size heddle are you using?

[@FiberLoveDiary]

12.5 dpi

[@reaseAable]

Great tip, sleigh the slots and holes. I am a new heddle weaver disability challenged, using a finger weight vintage silk, raw i think. My dent is 5

[@kathosim501]

Is there a limit to how long your warp can be?

[@JamifranColors]

Because your winding on the bar how do you know when your towel is 28”?

[@shellplayswithstring3246]

Love this! Have you found any particular paper easier for charting out your wrapping plan?

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I have mostly just used whatever graph paper we have lying around. John always has all different stuff, because he's in engineering, and they love their graph paper. I haven't really found one to be better than another, but I do like the big sheets of the thinner stuff I can see that tiny grid through.

[@ricolopez4258]

how long does a cone last you? i'm flustered as to where i should buy cones from. and i want a rainbow kit!!

[@teacat55]

I have a topic for Sunday’s Spin…. Silk for the newbies. I have dyed the brick and am trying to spin it (silk for the first time). I am using the small whorl on the Minstrel and trying to spin thin. I have to keep loosening the amount of pull because it pulls out of the draft easily. Any tips and tricks you can pass along? This warp of yours is so nice!

[@teacat55]

Beautiful warp

[@ricolopez4258]

did i tell you that my partner bought a 48 inch ashford for my studio?? i just ordered a 15dpi heddle, and i want to roll out yards of neat plant fabrics and print on them(or embroider), and cut those yards up into some kind of garments for anyone!!!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Congratulations! That is so exciting!

[@lindasuppan6027]

I love dish towels, too. I like the rainbow colors. Are you going to make a 'gamp' towel for color reference? I have been reading up on this to better understand the color interaction of warp and weft. I think I will do this in the fall with a stripey warp from the colors in my stash. How long was your warp, or how many towels will you get from this warp?

[@sadiesspincraft6319]

And the math is why I leave weaving to the experts lol I hate numbers they don't work with me they hate me lol I love all your woven projects x

[@categ50]

Very pretty Trish. What did you use for the weft? Looks like a few different colors. My granddaughter Kylie is coming at the end of the month for a week. I would like to start her weaving. Also, I am going to my local yarn/fiber store on Saturday for a Spin-In. I will bring my new Kiwi 3 and the owner says she will try to have someone there to show me the ropes. I carded the mill ends I got from you, so I have something to play with!!!

[@LDSVenus]

Beautiful colors, i couldn’t imagine how it would look with so many colors but that black just tied it all together wonderfully! You can never have enough towels!! Have you woven a shawl? oh and I 💕 your waffle weave!

[@beckyschrader2047]

How hard is a double warp???? What are the do's and don't? I cannot imagine - but am willing to try but wondering... What is the difference between a double warp and using a double weft? Or using 8/4 yarn instead of 8/2?

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I double the yarn, so it's just a whole loop through each slot and hole. Pretty easy. 8/4 would not be the exact same, but it might be what you like. You can do whatever you want, this is just the way I like it

[@tamileslie1569]

Question for you Trisha...My Ashford RHL is only 16”. Do you think the warping bar (which is AWESOME LOOKING!!) would be super beneficial for me or best for people with the wider looms. Yours looks like 32”? I’ve not had trouble so far with tension of my warps but then I’ve only warped and completed 3 projects. 😁 You seem like the kind of person who will give me an honest answer not just based on making a sale. I value your opinion AND LOVE your videos!! Thank you! Can’t wait to try out dish towels...soon!

[@deejcarter2003]

I absolutely love your pattern 🥰Now a few questions. Aren’t you on EDST not CDST? We’re you using 2 threads per hole? Was your weft all black?

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Yes, omg, John told me I messed up my time zone AGAIN. I can't even believe it! Yes, two threads per hour and slot. I'm changing the weft, but I like the plain black the best.

[@the4trents]

Oh! I ❤ the gray waffle weave towel! Watching you weave dish towels has me wanting to do some, too! It should be easier for me to warp my loom after knee surgery. How's that for motivation to do my PT?? LOL

[@lgmakes9412]

Gorgeous! What sized heddle are you using with the 8/2 yarn? (Teehee😂) I so want to make some towels now! Thanks for the smiles. 🤗

[@carrietreder8474]

LADY. You’re that cute without makeup? Not to be a weird fangirl or anything but your skin is so nice. I’ve GOT to get weaving, I wanted to make towels for my oldest in her new apartment, but…..warping. Bleh. Your towels are awesome though!

[@KristinMoran]

I'm sorry it has been a pita, but those are going to be such happy towels! 🌈

[@kristalburns3490]

Yes , you are cute!

[@sharonking7978]

Too much work for me. l just don't think l ever will. 😣
