Laverne Waddington, Backstrap Weaver
Laverne Waddington discovered weaving by accident-bike accident, to be precise. Recuperating from a mountain biking crash in Utah, she discovered a book on Navajo weaving and was immediately intrigued. A local exhibit of Diné textiles enthralled her, and she set about learning to weave in the Navajo style. Returning to Patagonia, where she had been living, she built a simple loom and explored weaving on her own until it became clear that she would need to move north to satify her hunger for weaving knowledge, settling in Bolivia.
Over the following decades, Laverne traveled in South and Central America, learning backstrap techniques from indigenous weavers. Her curiosity has led her to th...

Tommye McClure Scanlin, Tapestry Artist
Просмотров 194Месяц назад
Tommye McClure Scanlin had a choice. To make the images she wanted to create with weaving, she could either pursue complex forms of weaving that rely on dobby, jacquard, and draw-loom technology-or she could go the other way and place every color and pick by hand using tapestry techniques and a very simple loom. Preferring a drawing pencil to a calculator, she made the choice that now seems ine...

You have some awesome wheels!
This is the best video I’ve found for chain plying. It is different from how I’ve seen others doing it but this method is absolutely the best.
This is a very good and clear video! Thank you very much :)
Thank you for sharing your video. You include a lot of good information. The only thing I would suggest is a different angle, the straight down view made it hard to see what you are doing.
Thanks! We'll definitely keep that suggestion in mind!
Love this!
Thanks! We love it too. 😍
Such happy sheepie faces!
Kristin, I really enjoyed listening to this interview. Thank you. ❤🙏❤
It's a good idea to wet and pre-stretch the drive band before sewing it in.
Sadly not all Marino is equal either in commercial comb top or raw fleece. We need New Zealand Marino fleece here in the States.
So so helpful. Thank you. I am getting ready to try a fairly fat hand dyed yarn and you helped me understand what I am getting into and how to be successful with it.
We're so glad this tip video was helpful! Enjoy your yarn experiments.
Fabulous video tutorial thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
I have been using a charkha since mid 90s - traditional book. Loaned it out and not sure who has it - so daughter got me a deluxe. I figured I could learn more and bought your wonderful video a couple weeks ago. I no longer have my loom - a great way to use lots of charkha spun yarn and want to use the yarn for knitting. HOW can I spin it just a little thicker? I want to do a two ply abut “fingering” weight to be knitted on size 2-3 needles. I can do it on the wheel but would like to do more with the charkha. Maybe it’s impossible. I’m making the camelion shawl in a half “pi” shape (have done several wool shawls that way) and just wish most of my yarns were a tiny bit thicker. I know I could do three ply - but I prefer two for many reasons. I have gobs of lint (all colors mostly from Fox fiber) as well as roving in about 5 natural colors and some dyed colors blah blah. Love hand carding lint and adding goodies - I’m, hopeless. thank you.
❤❤❤where can I get that machine?
The wheel Judith is spinning on is a Schacht Ladybug, and the lazy kate in front is also made by Schacht. We don’t believe that the frame kate in the back is still being made, but there might be other makers with similar tools available online. Enjoy and happy spinning!
Okay, I visited the Dancing Goats and I'm ready to weave! Thank you for the instructions.
Enjoy and we'd love to hear how it goes!
apparently the Romans used these (not necessarily with backstraps but we don't know how they exactly did it, we just have the rigid heddles) so reenactment purposes is my main interest in these, real fascinating stuff
These tools are pretty unique and amazing, and even more amazing to see them in action today. Thanks for the note!
Enjoyed this podcast very much. Thank you. It's always good to hear other weaver's stories.
Thanks for listening! We're glad you enjoy them.
EXCELLENT video! Thank you! One of the things I do to open up the tops fiber before spinning is to hit the entire length with steam. I use a steam gun, but you may also use steam from a kettle. You want to be very careful, of course, not to burn yourself. It's like magic watching compacted roving/tops puff and balloon open. Thank you for this lesson in spinning directly from the fiber. I'm trying to move away from fiber prep such as rolags or dizzing.
What a great tip! Love that, and thanks so much for sharing.
Good video BUT you said you would show how to weave the ends in, but you didn’t. Not good for a complete beginner.
I found this very interesting. Amazing work. Thank you
This is so wonderful.
Ok! The rubber bands are sophisticated weaving technology! Thank you for helping me with my tensions issues. I have been having a hard time with the tie on stage. <3
We found that trick super handy too! Happy weaving!
Thank you so much, great video! :) Just a question: given that you know the lenght of the band you need to weave, how long shoud your threads be at the beginning? (eg twice the final lengh, three times the final lenght...?)
Great question! It greatly depends on the size of the warp and weft yarns as well as how densely you weave. Kate often adds about 25% take up for the band styles she weaves. She suggests making a small sample as she did here to determine take up. Then, you'll need to add several inches of waste in the front of the band (tied to the waist) and about 12 to 18 inches of waste at the end of the band.
This was perfect, excellent, exactly what I needed. I am planning to weave a belt for a traditional costume here in Norway, and I have never used this kind of loom before. I needed these basics before launching in to the more difficult pattern picking of the belt! Time to pull out my own handspun that I've never found a use for to teach myself the motions!
Glad it was helpful! We can't wait to hear how it goes.
I have a vintage crochet coat pattern, no matter how I try, I cannot get it to work. Can anyone help
Here's what I did for the last vintage pattern I worked on. I used the stitch guide accompanying my pattern to map the terms to their modern-day equivalents. Then, because it was a shorter pattern, I transcribed the entire pattern into modern terms and followed that as I crocheted. You can also find a local crochet group to meet up with and see if anyone has experience with translating vintage patterns. Often, getting a few folks together really helps. Good luck with the pattern, we hope it works out!
I say forget the loops and use the needle!
We're glad you found the method that works best for you! Happy weaving!
Excellent tutorial, thank you!☺️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Devin!
Devin is just wonderful, we loved these tips from them!
❤❤❤ Thank you for making this video, so helpful!
Excellent. Forget the needle and use loops. Thanks.
It is so handy to use the loops! Happy weaving.
Thank you. Finally a clear and helpful lesson for this starting part. thanks.
We're so glad it was helpful. Happy weaving!
how much would you sell the Ranch?
This is very helpful thank you!

Bonjour bravo pour la Vidéo. ! Je veux comprendre comment lire les patrons.. sur le vôtre dans la vidéo.. doit -on aussi calculer les fils de la bordure chaque côté ou c'est seulement le patron du dessin? Tous les patrons se lisent-ils de la même façon
The pattern shown in the video is one for Baltic pick-up and is different than other inkle patterns. If you want to learn more, Angela's video is a great resource: learn.longthreadmedia.com/courses/baltic-pick-up-on-the-inkle-loom. Angela also shared with me that her favorite book for this is Anne Dixon's "The Weaver's Inkle Pattern Directory." It contains lots of plain weave patterns and many specialty techniques including Baltic and other pickup with a good selection of charted designs. This is an excellent resource for anyone with an inkle loom. Happy weaving!
Wonderful uplifting spirit, enjoyed every minute of this positive, move forward, podcast!
Thanks for listening!
I'm a sewer and Nalbinder . Thank you for concise and easy to follow instructions ! many band weaves look very tedious with: turning cards, picking up and dropping the threads and going up and down with the shuttle thing that goes back and forth is too much for me ! this kind looks very beginner friendly . I would have to get the tools - but $30 for two items from the shop you suggested ? totally worth it !
We look forward to hearing how it goes!! Happy bandweaving.
How do you pass the shuttle through the upper and lower crossed parts of the warp?
The turning of cards means it's tablet weaving which is another weaving method. I have avoided trying that one. It looks too complicated to me!
This is utter perfection, thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it.
I just love Annie and her work, she is so inspiring. Another great interview, thank you!
Thank you. Just bought the darning Loom. I am getting a friend to help me. 2 minds are better than one. I must say I preferred your 2nd option.
Enjoy, and we hope you have fun exploring with your new darning loom!
Can't see what she's talking about, a bit disappointed😢
You might enjoy checking out the show notes page for this Podcast episode: littlelooms.com/long-thread-podcast-annie-machale/. On it we've included links to go check out some of Annie's amazing work. We hope that helps!
Wonderful information, thank you so much. You have answered most of my questions 😊😊
Glad it was helpful!
This was Wonderful! Thank you!!!
How would you finish it if you were patching a hole? Is there a specific way or would you just have to make the patch big enough that you’d have fabric around the hole to weave the tails into?
It would depend quite a bit on the base fabric. There are so many variables that it just depends on the situation. Generally, as you say, making the patch big enough to cover the hole and weave the ends in is great. Luckily, if you are working a darning-loom patch over a hole, the patch stabilizes the area and prevents the fabric near the hole from being pulled and stretched. Happy mending!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nice video. I also have an Alex Ver loom. Super high quality item and well worth the minor extra expense over the cheap ones. The dome in the wood part helps a lot.
Great tip about the dome in the wood part! Thanks for watching.
I’m completely shocked that there are no comments here. Yes! Knitting saved my life. Thank you for caring enough to share. For all the drama we’ve seen in the knitting world, this should be shouted from the rooftops!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
