Do you have a video for a 27 strand cinch
I really like your work. I like the designs, AND it looks sturdy and well made. Form and function working together well.
Hi Caroline, I just discovered your video. I am excited to try this. What type of cording did you use for your warp strands? Is it cotton? Also, you are one amazing lady with a drill press!!
Where can I find the material to weave?
Panhandle Leather for the hardware and 4 ply or UBraidIt has everything. Both sell online.
Hola!! Soy de Argentina Como sacas el telar del bastidor cuando terminas ?? Que punto haces para que no se desarme ??
On this loom you put the pegs back in above the top bar and the weaving slips right off. I’m not sure I understand the last question. The warp is a continuous warp so it doesn’t come undone. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching. Enjoy your weaving. Let me know if I can help you.
Hello, Thank you so much for all of your videos. They are helpful. I’m having entwining on my mini loom. It is warped with 12/6 seine twine and I was using 8/4 carpet warp for the entwining. However, I am not able to pull it through the end pins the way you demonstrate on your video. It is too thick to pull through the loom pins. What should I use to warp the loom and also what should I use for entwining in order for it to fit through the pins. What would you recommend? Many thanks
Try cotton crochet thread for the warp. You can always switch to wool when you have some experience. For the end twining use a two ply fairly thin yarn. Just make sure it’s very strong so it doesn’t break when you’re pulling it through. Some people use the warp thread for the end twining.
Hi , and thanks for all your videos, very helpful. I’m having trouble with the end twining on my mini loom. I am using 12/6 seine twine for the warp, and 8/4 carpet warp for the end twining. I can’t pull the ends of the warp and twining between the loom pins, it is too tight. So what should I warp the mini loom with, and what should I use for the end twining? What would you recommend? Thanks-
Sorry I’m so late responding to your question. I’m roasting in Phoenix right now. 🥵
Wow ,wow an absolut Great THANK YOU
You are very welcome
Do you know how to do the raised flowers and feather designs? It looks like the 2ply is on top.
Often the raised flowers are embroidered on with two ply yarn. It's a simple backstitch that looks like outlining but it's on top of the cinch. If you need to learn the basics of embroidery there's lots of RUclips videos on that topic. Hope that helps.
@@carolinespurgeon6016 could you do a tutorial?
@@clinchcowhorses I'll add it to my list. My summer is pretty well spoken for due to health problems in my family.
Is it okay for me to leave in my pull shed until I can no longer pull?
Yes, leave it in until it's no longer useful.
I accidentally bent a few of my pegs what should I do??
Gently straighten them. I use a screwdriver and press them back into place. Be gentle and just get them back in line.
Is the Navajo loom and cactus flower loom the same?
No. The Cactus Flower loom is an improvement on the Navajo loom. It has self tensioning and easy warping. The end result is the same.
Would this work with even warps
It would be a lot harder and it wouldn’t be balanced.
At mark 10:55, when you are increasing the light gray, is the red and increased portion of gray in the same shed? If so, how do you cover the lice?
They are in the same shed for a short distance. If you beat it down hard the warp won’t show.
Interlockin tutorial? Since now you demonstrated the turn joint technique.
Already done! Advanced Techniques-Interlock ruclips.net/video/LzQUOPOJHMM/видео.html
I am finding this impossible. I just don't get it. I think I'll just go back to doing the interlocking version which I can do. I will go back to this when I am more confident in this style of weaving. Thank you for the book and these videos. Without them I would be totally lost.
I usually teach the turned joint first as most people find it easier to learn. However if you are already doing the interlock, just keep on doing it! I leave it to the advanced techniques but you’re already there!
It took me four days to figure it out, a lot of wasted yarn, hours watching videos and reading written instructions. I finally got a sample that looks acceptable. I still think I will use the other method.
Thank you
You're welcome
First I want to say I love your videos on Cinch making. They are very easy to follow. I do have one question, why is one end 3' feet longer? Thanks
Because it has to stretch between the buckles one more time than the other end. That makes it an odd number of warps.
@@carolinespurgeon6016 Thank you for explaining. Any chance you will do a video using 2 colors on a cinch?
Do you mean two colors of the warp. If so I haven’t done one because Rebecca at UBraidIt has a good one. You can pick it up on RUclips. Look for UBraidIt channel.
ruclips.net/video/nPeaUwq3txw/видео.htmlsi=YsX0mV9tvDrQc-bh
Where do you get the cord ?
I get the 8 ply warp from Panhandle Leather or UBraidIt.
😭 can’t find the next video to this ~ the Decreasing ~ where do I find please?
Tapestry Techniques - vertical lines part 2 ruclips.net/video/SeF_d9vQTU4/видео.html
Hi Caroline, I wonder if you can help me with a suggestion. I’ve made an error and have woven quite a long way from both ends but going over two and under two between the warps. So it should still hold together but it’s not going to meet properly in the middle. I am considering switching to over one under one. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
In twining there are no mistakes, only design elements! You can do anything you want. You can even alternate the over two with the over one. If there is room put in a few rows of under one. Then you can switch to under two again.
@@carolinespurgeon6016 wonderful, Thankyou. I’m in love with twining.
Merci beaucoup Caroline c tellement beau je suis d Alger mes grandes mères fesai ça mais j' avais pas de temps pour apprendre j aime bien ce métier
Thank you for the kind words. It's nice to hear from weavers the world over.
FINALLY!! A video that shows twining while pulling towards yourself! This is the same way I do it. I have seen so many videos that show twining by pushing up! I have done a bit of twining myself, mainly with recycled t-shirts. I just discovered your videos today… I will certainly be watching more of them. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Have fun!
Where do you get your mohair?
The eight ply I get from Panhandle Leather. I get the two ply from UBraidIt.com as Panhandle only has undyed two ply. Hope that helps.
What size is the mohair rope?
It's eight ply.
Beautiful. Thankyou for your wonderful instructions
Thanks so much 😊
Love it
Very good work
Thank you so much 😀
Hey there quick question! I miscalculated the first loop and my end weave pieces are off. One is too short, what’s the best way to correct this?
Sorry I missed your comment and just now saw it. That's a problem that is hard to correct. You can weave the ends in as far as you can and then tuck the end and start a new piece. Just like you would in the design areas. I hope that makes sense.
Beautyful 😊

You are so welcome!
YOU ARE GREAT!!! Thank you for making this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Well i am sad. This is my first attempt. I measured 3 times and cut 17ft. It didn't seem like i had much left over for the end weave. Sure enough, i barely have enough to make it across let alone move onto the next step. I measured my strands length between my rings and i am at 13.5inches. I dont know what i did wrong.
I only have 11in left for the end weaving. I'm hoping I can tie extra 2ply onto these to make it work
Hummmm.... if you cut 17' you should have had 2' at each end to weave back in. I measured between my rings and had 13 1/4" so we are close. Are you pulling your yarn pretty taut as you're stringing the warp? Since you only had about one foot you may be able to make it halfway across. I think I'd run those yarns as far as I could and then run the ends back in. Then add on your two ply and see if you can tie them in. Maybe I should make a video on how to do that as someone just said they did a cinch and ran out of yarn at the ends!
Caroline, you are awesome. I cannot wait to make this loom this weekend and give it a go.
Have fun!
I am wondering how many total yards of the core spun alpaca is needed for a 24 x 36 size rug. Thank you for your wonderful videos
Hummmm. Are you buying the alpaca? If so it comes in very large rolls and you would use most of one roll for a 2 x 3 rug. The total amount you need depends on how tight you weave. Of course the tighter the weave the more yarn you use. A looser weave would use less.
Grazie per aver condiviso il suo lavoro ❤️
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Do you start with 100 ft of 8 ply for the breast collar? Do you have a standard breast collar horse sized pattern you go off of?
There’s a materials list at the end of the video. There’s several RUclips videos on sizing a breast collar to fit your horse. I just do the average size.
سلام کلاسی هست که من بتونم برم با شما به چه صورت میشه تماس گرفت اصلا شما کجا هستید ؟
I’m in Colorado, USA. You can check my Facebook page, Woods Canyon Woodworks and Weaving Center for more information.
Thank you for showing me this. I learned so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely gorgeous! Your explanation is so helpful, going to try it.
Thanks. Have fun!
Hi Caroline. I’ve started making mohair tack and my husband wants me to weave his brand in a breast collar. Could you possibly do a video on how to do that?
The problem with a video on that is there’s so many different types of brands it would be hard to do. Some brands you can weave in but others are easier to embroider onto a plain band. If you tell me your brand I could give you a few hints on the best way to do it.
@@carolinespurgeon6016 I thought I could send a picture but I don’t see the option. Any way it’s flying N. So it’s an N with simple wing outline coming off the sides. I didn’t know if you used graphing paper maybe or just free hand.
@@shayenorwood76 I just free hand the designs. Sounds like the wings would be easiest to embroider onto the cinch. To do so, weave a plain band wherever you want the brand and them embroider the flying N onto that plain weave. A simple running stitch is the way to do it. You can email me at spooky1234@yahoo.com. If you send me an email I'll send you a sample of how it's done.
@@carolinespurgeon6016 thank you. I’ll email you.
Hi would like to have the size in centimeters 😊thank you
Good luck! Google has a great conversion ap. That's what I would use.

Thank You.
You're welcome
I have yet to try the string heddles on this loom. Watching you I saw how much easier it is. Have you ever tried the short Texlov heddles? The method in the book looks difficult enough that I haven’t attempted it.
Not yet. String heddles are so quick to make I haven’t tried anything else.
Thank you!
You bet!
Thank you! It’s so much easier to see how to do the repairs without reading them!
Happy to help!
