How to Do the Long-Tail Tubular Cast-On for 1x1 and 2x2 Ribbing
The long-tail tubular cast-on creates a tidy and professional edge. The start is very similar to the classic long-tail cast-on, but your hand moves a little bit differently to create knit and purl stitches. Then, you’ll work two setup rows or rounds for knit one, purl one ribbing, or three setup rows or rounds for knit two, purl two ribbing. The result? A stunning cast-on edge that will quickly become one of your favorites.

Julia Gomez: Colcha Embroidery
Просмотров 296Месяц назад
When colonists first left Spain for what became Mexico and the American Southwest in 1598, they came with the continent’s first wool sheep. These weren’t the famed finewool Spanish Merinos-export of those was punishable by death-but rougher multipurpose Churra sheep. With simple tools, men sheared the sheep, women spindle-spun wool yarn, and men wove plain cloth called sabanilla. In their few s...
Irene Waggener, Knitting Researcher

As a knitter in a new place, Irene Waggener looks for knitting as she explores. Not all of the countries where she finds herself have robust yarn-shop networks and textile tourism, so sometimes she needs to get creative in her search. During a three-year stint in Morocco, her first glimpse of knitting was in the back of a local museum, where a striking pair of black-and-white knitted pants hung...

Spotlight Episode: Louët
Просмотров 244Месяц назад
In 1974, two young industrial designers in the Netherlands started a company making spinning wheels. Beginning in a family member’s chicken coop, they built a modern wheel featuring an upright castle-style format, a then-uncommon bobbin-lead drive system, and a drive wheel without spokes. Jan Louët Feisser and Clemens Claessen named their company Louët and began building the now-iconic S10 spin...

Most of us avoid nettles, thinking of them as weeds whose little stinging hairs can inject a painful toxin into the unexpecting walker. But strolling through the woods near his home in England, Allan Brown was captivated by the tall native plants. ...

thank you!
You are welcome! We hope you enjoyed it.
Did the book end up getting published? I can't find it!
Thank you for the great and inspiring interview with Charan Sachar. Art is as boundless as is one’s curiosity
Wonderful!!!
Why does this site redirect and display "Reported as Unsafe"?
This is absolutely wonderful! So glad I heard this podcast.
Love this!
We're glad you enjoyed the tip! Happy knitting (and seaming.)
i have a a s17 , i use it as a plying wheel
Just ordered a small and large one and saved your video. I have many pairs of socks I can mend easily now😁.
That's great! Have a wonderful time exploring mending.
Brown Sheep Company yarn is my all-time favorite. I absolutely love this company!
excellent. thank you
I'll try that!
Best of luck, and let us know how it goes.
Thank you so much. I am a complete beginner but because I knit I spend quite a lot of time dealing with ends. I bought this little weaver for darning hand knitted socks. I usually use a wooden mushroom but this looks more fun.
It really is fun. We hope you enjoy experimenting and trying it out.
Great tutorial!
We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Очень интересно и поучительно! Спасибо! 😊
We're glad you found it interesting and helpful!
very helpful
We're glad it was helpful! Happy mending!
Our Weavers Guild just had a screening of the film this afternoon. I was so happy to find this podcast as a follow up to seeing this wonderful film. Thank you!
I love my Louet wheels, an original s77 double treadle with skein winder, an original s10 single treadle, an s10 Concept single treadle with both Irish Tension and Scotch tension plus the interchangeable Jumbo flyer/bobbins and a bag, and the s95 Victoria with the Irish Tension attachment. Kind of overkill since they all will spin everything I want to spin but they all four are so wonderful. ❤
We have one how do you date them? I think ours is from the 1800s but we are not sure any help would be great thanks so much!!
Your work is STUNNING 🦋
Three bags full…
Indeed! 🐑 We hope you enjoyed watching.
I have just got your huck lace book I can only use a 4 shaft table loom as my legs do not work properly can you please explain how to read the weaving formula for a 4 shaft loom. I am a new weaver.
When the rotary cutter fails to cut all the threads on the first attempt it could mean that the blade needs to be replaced. Just a thought! Thanks for the video.
That is a great tip - thanks for sharing!
Started my first weave today, practiced this and it's so easy to get it right. Thank you!
That's great! Happy weaving to you.
What knot is best for the string heddles
Sara uses a double knot (aka two overhand knots) to tie her string heddles. Feel free to check out about 4:10 into the video to watch this in action. We hope that helps!
Thanks for sharing! Ideas re best knot to secure DISC beads (clay) onto ends of woven textile wall hanging? TIA!!
A quick clarifying question, are you looking to secure the DISC beads onto the fringe or sew them on the surface of the fabric? Thanks!
I love Seacolors yarn for so many reasons. It’s really special, from the sheep to the solar, seawater dyeing and natural food grade processes. I have a bunch of skeins and making an awesome winter headband with a pattern designed by a very trendy knitwear designer, Petite Knit. The yarn is so warm and bouncy, I am knitting more as holiday gifts. What a great podcast, now I want a blanket when a napper is found!
Thank you for sharing most helpful information
Glad it was helpful!
Is the actual DVD still available?
Some local retailers could still sell DVDs (or resellers like eBay may have them), but we've switched to digital versions at Long Thread Media. Here's a list of the retailers we work with, which may help you narrow the list a bit: longthreadmedia.com/retailers. Hope you find one!
So.. Do you knit?? Still laughing about this.
Very inspiring! I am an Anatolian needlelace maker from New Jersey. Thank you so much! @Ylvia_Asal_Studio
Very important topic. Thanks for the tutorial ❤
Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU!
How awesome!! I am going to buy some of your yarn, and make a hat for MYSELF (unlike most of my stuff that goes to others). LOVE THIS!!
Tammy and Wing & A Prayer Farm really are special. Thanks for your support and lovely comment!
Always wanted to go to the back of the museum just to see everything labeled and laid out. The museum should really have a for sale page for all the things they cant take, I am sure many people would buy some of the old spinning wheels or looms.
I really hope that Deborah is coming to South Africa for the Merino and Alpaca! We have lovely lovely fibers here.
I love love loved this episode, gosh, I wish Anita was my grandmother! I could just sit and talk to her for hours and listen endlessly. What a wonderful lady!
Honestly, every city needs a Keyna. We would benefit so much if more of these spaces existed!
The other part to that is because people price most craft things these ways, people don't want to pay a proper price per hour, even minimum wage and the yarn it cost to buy this thing. Crafters NEED to start charging at least minimum wage on handmade items so that consumers can start recognizing the worth.
We have no living room :P it is a weaving room.
I cannot wait to read the book! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely stories!
So many antique shops think a spinning wheel is literally just an ornament, I mean, it works in my favour but it is very sad to think about.
Wonderful stories, thank you for sharing.
I’ve been looking at wheels and really want one. Any advice on resources on where to learn how to use and maintain. Perhaps a book you can recommend? I learn best by reading.
Thanks, just bought one today and now I know how to use it.
This was a really great dive into KnitPicks! Thank you so much for this as I didn't know all the care and attention that is spent on all the process and products. Really interesting!
My favourite episode by far! Thank you.
Love this episode! I have her dvd. So inspiring.
You have some awesome wheels!
Heavenly really does have an amazing collection!
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.
