Countermarch treadling

Demonstration of the gliding foot action while treadling a Bergman countermarch loom on four shafts without tabby.
Weaving False Damask
Просмотров 564Год назад
This is a demonstration of weaving false damask. I am using a four-shaft table loom, a pickup stick and two pieces of music wire. This is a very time-consuming method, but any pattern which can be drawn on graph paper in black-and-white can be woven in this manner. This piece begins with a warp-faced section, followed by a simple checkerboard which in turn will be followed by a more complex pat...
Summer and Winter Weave
Просмотров 607Год назад
Summer-and-winter is one of my favourite weaving techniques. It requires two shuttles: one for the pattern threads (coloured) and one for the tabby (plain weave ground). It is a little fiddly to weave, but the results are stunning. The "back" side of the cloth is not an exact reverse of the "front," although it's close. The numbers I'm calling out correspond to the sheds I'm raising (i.e., the ...
Weaving Krokbragd
Просмотров 8332 года назад
This two-minute video is not meant to be instructional, rather just a demonstration of weaving krokbragd on the Glimakra band loom, lovingly known to myself and friends as the "bonker loom." However, I will do my best to explain the system so that you can understand what's going on. When in normal operation, the bonker has two wooden bars each having two projecting pegs which hold the heddles. ...
Longmire Campground Projects

17 volunteers and 3 paid employees erected five platform tents in the Longmire Stewardship Campground, removed an old group-site fire ring in a bad location and built a new one to replace it, built several short trails, and constructed FIFTEEN old-style wooden picnic tables which were subsequently moved to various sites. They put in approximately 125 man-hours on this "spring opening" project. ...

Heard along the Yelm-Tenino Trail. I won't guarantee they're all Pseudacris!
Thank you for this video. Could you point me in the direction of the pattern ? Thanks.
This is "Diamond & Block II" on p. 188 of the green edition of Marguerite Porter Davison's "A Handweaver's Pattern Book."
Thank you.
You're welcome! Lousy internet prevents me from uploading anything longer, so I'm glad this was of help to you.
helpful thank you 👍👍
Thank you. I realize it isn't much, but my internet is so bad that I can't upload long videos.

Kinda like a mechanical drop spindle! Clever!
Funny you should mention that. I first learned to spin cotton with a manual tahkli...a tiny supported drop spindle (i.e., one which rests on its point in a little bowl).
Zowwie, what a painstaking process. I have new appreciation for your work. Actually, if I lived closer, I’d be hanging around trying to learn.😁
And I would LOVE to teach you! But honestly, this one is WAY more "painstaking" than regular weaving.
Fascinating to watch your process step by step. Even the transcript is interesting. You are amazing!
This is a pretty exceptional mode of weaving. Normally, the pattern would be governed by how you'd threaded the loom, and would consist of regular repeats. With this style, you can create complex designs, and best of all, if you flip the piece over, the design is exactly the reverse. In this case, the side facing me will have dark birds on a light ground. Flip it over, and it will have light birds on a dark ground.
Love the moment when you did that little “Am I cleanly in the right place for the shuttle to go through?” What an interesting combination of repetition, which most people do not associate with art, to create the very artistic pattern you envisioned.
Oh, yeah...miss a thread and it shows up! If you're not paying attention, you may not see the mistake until you've gone on another inch or two, and then you have to pick it back to fix it. Or at least I do. ;)
It’s the artist soul in you, Sweets. It’s just part of why I love and admire you.❤️
Amazing to see how you add row by row! How long does it take to set the whole loom up with the white vertical threads? And how do you do the rows that have little white blocks in them? I watched a woman weaving on a very small loom in Portsmouth a while back. It was a similar process but no where near as intricate! Incredible to watch your process, Crow. Thank you for sharing it!
These towels require 242 ends. I spread warping out over two days because my back gives out. Each thread has to pass through a heddle first, then through the reed (the thing which spaces them apart). Threading the heddles is painstaking because they're on four different shafts (the things which go up and down to raise the threads). The pattern is determined by which shaft the threads are on, i.e., 1, 2, 3 or 4 (I have a four-shaft loom). So if you accidentally get a thread through the wrong heddle, it's going to throw the whole pattern off! Anyway, that's where the weaver's real skill comes in: threading those 242 heddles. My feet operate the TREADLES (not to be confused with HEDDLES) to raise the shafts. What you can't really see in the video is that I'm kinda dancing sitting down. The numbers I'm calling out are the numbers of the treadles/shafts. That's what forms the pattern. The pattern changes across the piece depending on which heddles/shafts I've run the threads through.
Absolutely fascinating watching her keep the pattern going. Just wow, the combination of skill, creativity and art in motion.
Thank you! I got a little carried away and put nine repeats on that block instead of eight, so after I shut the camera off, I had to pick it back.
@@DeForestRanger😆 It’s still amazing work.
