What's included in our backstrap weaving kit?
We package every order with care and attention, including our Practice Backstrap Loom Kits! This kit includes everything you need to get weaving on a traditional Maya backstrap loom prepared by our partner weavers at Lake Atitlán. The warp has been carefully dyed with natural dyes using the dye-reisit "ikat" (or "jaspe" in Spanish) technique, and the weft is naturally-dyed indigo. All in cotton.

Faja weave demonstration by Irma
Просмотров 5965 месяцев назад
What a technique! Big thanks to Irma for sharing with us during a recent Textile Travel itinerary. She was so concentrated! It's not so often that we get to observe the warp-faced weave used for creating "fajas" or sashes here in Guatemala. This was a big treat for advanced weavers of the trip to be able to see up-close.

Que pecioso!!! Y el color es tan hermoso.
I love your art! ❤ simply beautiful!!! If you don’t mind me asking, where can I buy a loom like that? I would love to have one and learn what you do?
We sell looms ready for weavers on our website! You can find them here: kakawdesigns.com/collections/kits-and-materials
👍но у меня образуются катышки😢
I love the trick to keep the woven textile the same width. So many times I see examples where it starts out wide, but then gets skinnier, and it’s always irritated me. You’re the first person I’ve ever seen use a method to prevent that, and I think it’s awesome. Your piece doesn’t look all that long, but I don’t see extra thread at the top, I’m just wondering what you would use it for. Pretty colours though, very nice! 😍
Yes, the temple is really helpful in keeping the width consistent, especially for beginners. Also when getting into brocade, because the added tension can me it more challenging. This shorter version is what we've called a "Practice Loom" and we think it makes a great wall hanging when finished :) It's an easy loom to get started with.
@@kakawdesigns Good to know, thank you!
@@pennycandyys Con mucho gusto!
Это ткацтво Майя?
Yes, this is a backstrap loom in the traditional Maya Kaqchikel style from Guatemala.
@@kakawdesigns я очень люблю Майя. И нравится ваша культура, которая долгое время была изолирована от привычной европейской и азиатской культуры, что делает её более таинственной и роскошной. Спасибо за видео, в которых запечатлен способ ткацтва, созданный руками Майя. Привет из России👋
Que hermoso huipil y que lindo el modo de Cristina. Algun dia quizas pueda participar.
Te esperamos con mucho gusto!

How do they keep the threads spaced so evenly without using a reed?
Good question! Doña Margarita actually has a "cane" on the underside of her loom. You can see the nails sticking out on the sides that keep that temple there to keep the width constant. The other end of the warp has also been woven a little bit, and that helps a lot to keep the warp from moving. Does that help answer your question?
@@kakawdesigns oh yes, I see it! I think that answers part of my question...so, to keep the threads from moving toward a warp-faced weave as the piece progresses is more a matter of patience and attention?
@@Earthwise.Well, the width shouldn't change if you keep the temple there to control it. And the warp threads shouldn't move so much becuase they've been woven on the other end also, so there's not too much wiggle room. And then after that, yes, attention and lots of patience :) Separating individual threads row by row as necessary.
gret explntion now i finally understnd it 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad to hear that it was helpful! Happy weaving!
Thank for sharing your knowledges in weaving myfrenGodbless
Con mucho gusto!
I love her blouse!!
That pikbil weave :) We're all fans!
Where is this?
Antigua Guatemala! Or do you mean the exact street?
@@kakawdesignsnaw just wanted to know the country. Beautiful bro
Wow! Cuántos hilos urden y cuánto tiempo se tardan? Saludos 💙
Hola Ana! La verdad no tenemos esta información exacta. Tal vez te interesaría venir a viajar con nosotros a conocer las tejedoras de Cotzal? El año pasado organizamos un viaje para esa comunidad. Posiblemente para 2024 podemos ofrecer otra vez.
Ta. Helpful.
Glad to hear it!
The weaving is beautiful!
We love backstrap weaving sessions with master weaver Doña Lidia López and her family!
So many beautiful items!
Thank you! We hope you can come visit us :)

Good video
This is beautiful work. I very much like all the bright colours.
Beautiful video. Thank you.
This is beautiful work!
What was that PA announcement at the end?
Hi! Not sure what you are referring to... probably a RUclips ad?
@@kakawdesigns It was background noise at the end of the video
@@ksisu1324 Ha! I understand now. It's out in the street, village life in Guatemala can be noisy!
Great video! I often have these mistakes.
Glad to hear that the video is helpful!
De todo el proceso del montaje del telar, esto es lo que menos agrada, me tenso mucho, urdir me agrada mucho y tejer. Saludos 💙
Es muy exacto el proceso de armar el telar, verdad.
Hi, good show.
Glad to hear it
Jajaja yo cometo esos errores y me doy cuenta ya que llevo 4 o 5 vueltas, ya no quiero desbaratar. Hermosa labor la que ustedes hacen. Saludos 💙
Pero también es bonito ver los errores y guardarlos como parte del proceso en el tejido, al ir progresando tendrás menos y menos errores :)
Great video! The hardest part - for me - is getting a great shed like yours 😢
Is it harder with the chocoy or the shed rod?
Wow! Hermosos los pompones. Qué hacen con los sobrantes? Saludos 💙
Buena pregunta! Nos gusta guardar los hilitos en un vidrio y lo tenemos como decoración en nuestro studio... pero sabemos que Chato utiliza los sobrantes para llenar otros tipos de pompones. También buenísima idea para usar todo el material.
Cuanta paciencia y precisión para adornar las orillas! Saludos y Bendiciones 💙
Muy bonito! Gracias por mostrar lo que hacen . Saludos 💙
fantastic made dress!
It is a beautiful huipil/güipil! :) Doña Lidia really is such a talented weaver.
