    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.

    Why would you buy lacquered or natural finished? What’s the difference?

    • @thebluefibertree
      @thebluefibertree 15 дней назад

      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

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 ❤

      @jeanninehausch1379 9 месяцев назад

      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.
