    Your comparison of beaming methods is just the what I've been looking for. I'm taking a weaving workshop soon; the instructor uses a front-to-back method where I've only ever used a back-to-front. Your video gave me confidence that I can use the beaming method I know...b-to-f. Thanks ever so much...

    what do you recommend for sizing and how do you apply it? I'm thinking to wind my singles off onto a niddy-noddy, wet set the twist, and then put the sizing on before hanging it to dry. Then onto a swift and wind into a ball, to pull from when winding my warp.

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite 23 дня назад

      That's definitely one way to do it. It depends on what you are using for sizing and how it's being applied. And that depends on your fiber...so there are a lot of variables in play! A good all-purpose recipe is to dip in slightly diluted laundry sizing for a couple of minutes, then hang dry. Most weavers do this at the warp chain stage, but that may be because they're working from coned yarn. Whatever you try, I'd love to hear how it worked for you!

    All the detail you gave based on your experience with different types and brands of looms, and with weaving in general, is so helpful, especially for new weavers who wouldn't even know what to look for. I learned so much from watching this - thank you!

    I found this super interesting and informative. I’ve never heard of “knitters grid paper”for making patterns. But what I enjoy is a dot grid book, that way most of my patterns are all in the same place and I can look up one I want to do, plus if I’ve used the design I may write some notes in the opposing page. Thanks for this little insight, ClaudiaSJI

  • @naomikatepp

    This is a very helpful video, but I would caution you about khadi cloth. It started out as a genuinely hand spun, hand woven, movement by Gandhi. As the challenge to design a better spinning wheel or loom moved forward, we ended up with predominantly, mechanized, micro factories of machinery, where the only human input is that it is either handcranked or the shed is changed by a pair of feet with a fly shuttle to send the shuttle across. It is still “handmade” because it cannot be done by just pushing a button, but it is not handmade the way it used to be or the way you mean it. It’s like if a factory was run or powered by people peddling bicycles, that would not be handmade, but it is still human powered. Most of the khadi cloth currently available commercially is from these human powered micro factories. That’s not all bad, this allows small villages a chance to have income locally rather than moving to cities that are already vastly overpopulated. Also, being relatively small machinery, makes it closer to Affordable if a village pools resources. This is not a value judgment on the good or ill of the semi factory nature of its current production. It is just me quibbling over the definition of handmade.

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite 2 месяца назад

      What is handmade is a very interesting & important conversation, indeed. I think human involvement is key. I've seen these pedal looms in action, and also talked to weavers who've used them - they still require the weaver to do all the setup (the most time consuming part) and require a lot of skill to operate. And like you pointed out - it makes it feasible to bring a mostly handmade product to a larger commercial audience. To borrow from another fiber craft, we don't tend to dismiss quilts if they're not completely pieced & quilted by hand. If they use a sewing machine, we still regard it as handmade. Even if the quilter chooses to send out a quilt top to be quilted by someone else, we don't dismiss all the hours of piecing & sewing they did! With modern khadi fabric, I have certainly experienced a range of qualities, but they all have tell-tale signs that there was human involvement in the making - slubs in the yarn, subtle weaving errors & skipped threads every now and then. In commercial cloth I would find these unacceptable, but in khadi it creates a sense of connection to the maker. And I also have to say, these fabrics have held up a lot better to wear and washing than many commercially woven fabrics!

    @Clubkidknitter 3 месяца назад

    I've always heard people say when either using the printed gauge guide on the Fiber Sprite or when wrapping yarn around a tool (or ruler), to always hold / wrap the yarn in its "relaxed" state.

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite 3 месяца назад

      Yes, this is correct. As I mention in the video, the correct measurement for the example yarn is 18 WPI in its relaxed state, and the "stretched" or inaccurate measurement is 26 WPI. The point is, if people aren't adequately educated on how to use the WPI tool, it might be helpful to them in spinning consistently (because they're always measuring the same way, even if it's incorrect), but not for measuring yards per pound.

    @gky7170 4 месяца назад

    good points - my experience with knitting yarns is that they do not make the best warp for the reasons you outlined - tensioning the yarn is a hassle and what started out to be a baby blanket is now scarflet... though I love the feel and variety of high-end knitting yarns like Berroco, artisanal handspuns, cashmeres, etc.

  • @dorgana68
    @dorgana68 4 месяца назад

    Thank you so much for the explanation! But I wonder how to test a yarn at the craft store. I can't open the yarn from its package and stretch test it.

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite 4 месяца назад

      If you're at a big box craft store, the vast majority of knitting/crochet yarns (wool, poly, acrylic) will be pretty stretchy. Crochet and dishcloth cotton yarns are generally going to be the non-stretchy options.
