Coffee & Chat with Jeannine & Kris plus How To: Start a Tri-loom Project!
I’m new to spinning and my aim is to do big chunky yarn for woven projects on my peg loom, mainly rugs for my cottage as have so much free wool. I managed to get an Ashford country wheel. What would be the best core for this work. My wool and locks are from my mull sheep. It was one of your videos that made me buy Ashford. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes from the soggy west of Ireland.
Great explanations Kris!
Nice job on video. Happy weaving!
Thank you so much! We had fun.
Why would you buy lacquered or natural finished? What’s the difference?
The natural finish allows you to treat the wood how you would like it to look. You can wax, stain, varnish or even paint the pieces before assembly. The laquered Ashford looms would still need to be assembled. You also save about $150.00 when you purchase the natural as opposed to the finished loom. This goes for the spinning wheels, too. I will say the knitters looms from Ashford come lacquered and assembled but do have some limitations when it comes to some techniques. I hope this answers your question. Jeannine
Great video ! Thank you so much for making this process crystal clear!
You are so welcome! That's what we were hoping to acccomplish.
This is the best and clearest video I've found on how to warp up. Just brilliant, going to warp up now. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I am so grateful to you for this tutorial, it was the best one I have seen by far. I have only just bought my loom and was feeling very overwhelmed and frustrated trying to warp it, as I just couldn't wrap my head around it using the other tutorials I found on RUclips. You have definitely given me confidence to get stuck in and try again. Thank you so much ❤
I am so glad this helped you with your weaving. We try to keep it easy for everone to understand the process. There are 2 more videos in the series for weaving and removing the project from your loom. I hope these help as well. Jeannine
@@thebluefibertree I did see them, so have them saved in my watch list ready for each step 🥰 Just warped my loom, so on to video 2!!🤗
Yeah! WAFA sale!
Happy birthday!!! And i loved the picture you shared in WAFA, it made me smile. ☺️
Thank you! This is SO clearly explained! Just what I needed!

When removing the rode from the rolag if you offset one on the rods, it will be easier to remove a rod.
Never took the time to watch this. And I am glad I did! Lighthearted and enthusiastic ladies! I am blessed
I'm glad you enjoyed our video. We try to have fun. Jeannine
this is the BEST Heddle Loom tutorial on You Tube!!!!! Thanks so much :)
Wow, thank you! I am so glad this helped you with your weaving. We try to keep it easy for everone to understand the process. There are 2 more videos in the series for weaving and removing the project from your loom. I hope these help as well. Jeannine
Looks really good, I shall definitely try to weave a version of this.

You guys crack me up
A big thank you . Best teacher i have ever had .
Aww...thank you! I love teaching. It is very rewarding to me when I get to see the "Ah Ha" moment when everything clicks. Jeannine
Just the information I needed
Glad it helped!
Those contrasting colors look amazing together!
I think so too! Thanks.
Thank you Jeannine. That was really helpful
You are so welcome. And thanks for suggesting this video. Jeannine
Always a pleasure to watch you, ladies. Greetings from England.
Thank you! So glad you are enjoying the videos.
Looking good Regina
She is, isn't she? So glad she was able to step in and help me out. Jeannine
Thank you so much you have helped me tremendously 😊😊😊❤
So glad it has helped. We love the feedback.
Just got my Ashford Loom , can Waite to star . Thank you so much for this video . Many Blessings.
I am so glad the videos are helping. Please show us your project when you get it finished. Jeannine
Thank you for this, I now feel ready to get my loom set up and dressed after having it for six months as yet unused
I am so happy to hear the video has helped. Enjoy your weaving. Jeannine
Excellent tutorial thanks!
from where did you buy the loom?
Jeannine is an Ashford dealer and sells them in her store and on her etsy page. Let me know if you need any help.
Thank you. This is very helpful! Can anyone recommend what size loom I should be buying? I'd like to make dishcloths and welcome door mats. Thank you 😊
The most popular size we sell in the store is the 24" rigid heddle loom. You can do so much more with this one since it can do the wider projects as well as smaller items. Let me know if there is anything else you may need. Jeannine
Where can you get the yarn separator strips, and will they work on a Cricket rigid heddle?
We sell these in the store. Cardboard strips can be used as well as heavy craft paper. We some times use paper bags cut to the width of the loom. Many possibilities. Jeannine
What's up with the endless fire blanket add? Gave up before seeing video...
I am so sorry about the length of the ads. You Tube does all of things outside of our videos. I hope you are able to go back and watch the video again.
OMG, you are a terrific teacher! Thank you so much for this eminently understandable presentation! Wish I'd found you months ago so my new RHL wasn't languishing in the closet unwarped! I 😂
I am glad this has helped you! Enjoy your weaving adventure. Jeannine

Well, I know how to warp it now! Now to work on tension. It's been a real bugger for me.
Tension can be an issue. I learned the hard way not to over tighten the warp when working the weft. It helps with the drape of the items. Jeannine
Oh, for heaven's sake. Finally! A video that goes slow enough for us beginners and shows how the yarn runs, where to pull....etc. The other ones I watched had hands in the way and didn't show details at all. Thank you for this one!
Same! So happy to find this! Thank you
Thanks Kris for covering for me! Much better now. Oh, and the Rigid Heddle Workshop for February 17 is FULL! Yeah. March 16 is the next scheduled weaving class.
Love your shop!
Thank you so much! I love it to. Jeannine
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you
You're Welcome!
where are you located?? I just ordered my first Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom and have been watching everyday youtube videos because I am in MN and cant find anyone that knows how to do this. I twine rugs on my stand up loom I can't think of the name off hand Libby something and I love that. I would love to find someone in MN that dose this. Thanks for the videos. Roxanne
We are in Northfield Center, Oh If I can find someone through my fiber friends that teaches up your way I'll be happy to reach out with that info!
thank you so much and happy weaving.@@thebluefibertree
Sorry, 2 times the price, not 3 times (..my stupid phone keyboard..). In any case I have also some of my friends, that are interested in the Kiwi (and another person want the Ashford Traditional), so if you think you can sell to Italy please let me know! Thanks again :-)
I've watched this 3x. Best video on warping a rigid heddle I've seen!
We're glad she likes the video and that it was helpful! 🥰
I have watched this video several times and do not see you show how to weave in the tails…..🤷♀️
If you end your yarns on the edge of the work, you can use a darning needle to weave in the ends like you would in knitting or crochet. I will need to do a video showing how to add yarn so you don't have to weave in the ends.

Thank you for your response I do have a teacher that does loom weaving and she is having a class in January yes I need to do a class to see what possibles there is and looms,thanks again I will be watching .
Hi. I was told to start with 15” cricket ,what is the different between the cricket and the ashford? also do most have more than one loom that could be pricy, new to me I need lots of advice,would you advice taking a class first before starting with tutorials? the tutorials are very helpful thank you for sharing.
I had such a great time! I really enjoyed your lovely store! Sorry to miss you Kris! Looking forward to more trunk shows at your store. Happy Holidays!
So sorry I missed you tooooo! I am in LOVE with my end point stoppers!! The breakers are soooooooooo alk&me!! 💙
Where did you get the wooden folding table?
Happy Holidays
How do you finish with them hem stitch?
I am not sure if you are asking about what to do with the strand of yarn when you jet across the row or how to work the other end of the project. The yarn end would just get woven into the piece, either up the side or in between the rows that were already woven. The other end would just be the same as this front of the piece. Work across the same way and weave in the end when finished. If this doesn't answer the question, please let me know.
Very informative video/tutorial! Exactly what I needed to finish my shawl. Thanks ladies!
