from Gerry- I've always sewn dog coats for my granddogs. I never thought about weaving one. Perhaps I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

Incredibly helpful, thank you!

Thanks

from Gerry- I have a fleece and a half of alpaca now so this video was so timely. Love the color. I have the jumbo Ashford spinner plus a traditional and a Joy. If I spin on the Joy with jumbo bobbins, I can ply on the Jumbo spinner and end up with one large skein. Thanks so much and God bless.

Looks so great! I have a pile of cellulose scarves I have been saving up to make a rag rug with. I'm newer to weaving and not so confident my idea will work. What do you think? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

I love love love those towels! So very pretty. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Blessings!

A really lovely piece, it would make a lovely hanging as well: I think it looks like water droplets running down a wall. Thanks for sharing the technique.

The wool/tencel mix has merged into a lovely sage. Looking forwards to seeing the result.

Oooo. Can’t wait to see what you do with those yarns!

Hi, these are beautiful! I am. going to try to follow your pattern and i have the warp all figured out,i just want to make sure that the weaving sequence is the one written underneath the one that is scratched out? I am surprised you used a 12.5 reed but i will give it a try i would have thought that yarn would be too thick. Hope that wrist is feeling almost all better.

Great little tutorial Steph. Thanks.

Love your rag rug weaving. Thanks for showing the Damascus edge. Looks easier than other ones I've seen. (Also, bought 2 of the yarn holders for storing my 8/2.) 😁

Even though it didn't go quite to plan i love your chunky cap. Appreciate you sharing your advice on sewing handwoven fabric. Always helpful. 😁

This turned out so wonderfully! Also, I love the ribbon rack idea for holding your warp threads... I hate chasing my spools around the floor when I'm warping, especially if I have multiple colors. I might try my lazy kate next time and see if that will work!

That looks amazing!!!!!❤

Would that Damascus edge be suitable for a table runner also? I think a rug will be next on the loom!

from Gerry- Looks great! I have made a rag rug before but did not put the cotton between the rags. I will do that for the next one. Blessings from Pennsylvania, USA

Your rag rug looks great! Such a useful way to repurpose clothing. I love seeing all the different projects you do.

Looks great 👍🏼

Sorry….when did you pull the threads through the holes

This is a beautiful table runner. How did you determine how many passes to make on each of the coat hooks (genius idea to use it!!!)

This video is like gold! You’re so brave to use your hand spun for sampling but really why save it? What a great idea to use it in a hat. That’s so clever

I do like the woven fabric and am quite looking forward to the actual finished product. 😊😊

Loved seeing your progress! This is how we learn through our trials and tribulations! It's a really neat idea, and it does look great, even with it's flaws! Makes me feel a little more comfortable thinking I could do that too! Thank you for sharing!

very very interesting to me ! thankx a lot to show us that ^^

Great video. Thanks. I always learn so much more when things don’t go perfectly. I love the forest runner at about 1:05. Do you have a video on making it?

Good effort I’d probably spin finer yarn and weave on smaller heddle, then slightly felt the fabric. Might even give it a go. Thanks❤

Loved this videos and it’s so nice to see that things don’t always go right for someone else. 😂 We learn from our mistakes and I’m sure it will look really good next time you make it. I’m not a spinner and never will be but really loved the yarns you spun, they looked amazing.

As a greyhound/sighthound obsessed weaver in the US-you’ve just given me my next project!! Thank you for sharing and looks so cute!

Absolutely brilliant!

Love toast and Vegemite but my American kids won’t eat it.

Very helpful thank you ❤

LoL my first weaving came out GREAT, I wove with a 85% Alpaca/15% merino warp; with clasped wefts. One weft was alpaca/silk boucle heavy lace and other weft was pure silk heavy lace. All wefts were very colorful, shawl came out gorgeous, even, drapey, light but warm, SOFT. But I’m also VERY familiar with protein fibers. HOWEVER- when it came to working with cellulose fibers my projects turned into samples (will write them off as tea towels lol) very wonky tea towels lol though it did teach me how cotton needs to be woven to produce good fabric. Also had to get a warp board lol I have an issue of lashing on uneven warp but the warp board’s solved that since it can be secured right onto my 32” rigid heddle loom.

Another very informative video . Thank you Steph.

Very, very helpful!!!!

What did you purchase? I was looking forward to seeing your haul.❤

This is brilliant! I am several metres into a project on my Schact Cricket (on which I always have tensioning issues, much worse than my Ashford) with PERFECT tension. Thanks so much for this video

Phew, I had downloaded IWeaveIt but didn’t have a clue how to use it, your video helps hugely 😊 Thank you

I just got back from a week in Melbourne and the Bendigo sheep and wool show as well. I live in NSW and flew via Sydney. I was a little disappointed in the show and its set up. Most likely because the venue is old and many of the vendors were separated in different small sheds. Only one, larger shed where the fashion parade was held, shown in this video, it was darker, not a lot of light inside and a little crowded. It was very cold because it wasn't closed off from the outside air. I was dressed for winter though, so coped well. I did enjoy seeing new vendors I hadn't seen before and did manage to get some yarn I can't get where I live. Seeing it in the flesh was great. People very friendly. I love seeing the marino sheep, never had seen one before, but was saddened by how they were housed in individual small enclosures, so small they couldn't move. I felt is was cruel having them standing there all day in such a small space. Only a few had space, as in the photo of the 2 ewes and their lambs. The highlight for me was visiting Bendigo Woollen Mills the following day, I buy from them all the time. Glad I went, but compared to Sydney events held in the Exhibition Centre, this one just missed something.

That is a Black Nose Valais. It was their first time there this year (my friend has them). I left Bendigo at 4:30am this morning, and arrived home at 3:50pm this afternoon. Had the best time, and spent a small fortune. LOL

How exciting. Look forward to seeing the creations you make from your goodies. Did you get to see all at Bendigo in one day?

Thank you for this

Great video making a beautiful runner. I look forward to how you hem stitch.

They all look so good in their new coats. 😁

🤩

Thank you for sharing your planning for these cool jackets! It was interesting to see how you devised the pattern, and fixing the errors while weaving too. The end results are great, and the pups seem to love them, too! Glad your hand is getting better as well!

Aww! How proud do those beautiful fur babies look wearing their new coats. So happy to be toasty warm. ❤❤❤

The colours suited the dogs so well!! Loving your videos ❤

So glad you included the video of your repairs. That’s always a good lesson for new weavers.

So the warp is doubled but the weft is single? Thanks!
