I've made tote bags from my sampler pieces and get loads of compliments on my bags. 💖🌞🌵😷
Definitely give the butterflies a go! Have had lots of fun with the stripes
Loved the loops and the butterflies! Also, this was the video where using a pick-up stick finally clicked for me. It had always seemed so fussy and complicated, but watching you this time, just... boom! Got it!
Awesome! 😀
You are a great teacher!!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thank you!
Love the loops
They are pretty cool! 😍
Thank you Kelly, I did some butterflies and loops today and I am really pleased with them.
Wonderful!
I really enjoyed three different project but if I had to choose just one it’s a toss up of the loops 👍 n your unique butterflies ... Thankz sooo much young lady ! Cheers 🥂 Gerald
Thanks for watching Gerald! You get double points for calling me "young" lady, that doesn't happen much these days 😆
This was a really great video. As a beginner tapestry weaver using a DIY cardboard loom for learning this was so insightful into weaving with a rigid heedle loom. When I first started researching this loom I thought it was so limiting and confusing as opposed to freeform, abstract tapestry weaving, but this video showed me just how versatile a rigid heedle loom is and some of the possibilites in more cloth based weaving. Thanks so much for sharing.
You're welcome, and you're right, a rigid heddle loom is extremely versatile!
Hola, gracias por entregarnos tantas técnicas de puntos y diseños, no entiendo nada de tu idioma, pero te sigo en cada lazada que das. Saludos cordiales desde Chile
Gracias!
I've only watched a few minutes of the video, and I already have to comment. I'm an absolute beginner. I still have my first warp on my new Kromski rigid heddle loom. I've just watched all of your neat edge videos and I'm working on straightening up my edges. What immediately caught my eye with this video is the color of warp and weft on my loom is just about identical to what's on your loom. I started with a skein of Red Heart super-saver acrylic yarn I bought years ago and didn't like for knitting. I figured it was a good skein to sacrifice while working past the usual beginner weaver issues. I'm almost out of that yarn. I think I have a skein of blue acrylic yarn I was planning to use next, which I think is pretty close to the blue you introduced. It might be a shade or two darker.
I just subscribed to your channel and turned on notifications. Unfortunately since RUclips downgraded their notification system and dropped e-mail video notifications, I'm not getting notified of new videos. I don't keep up with web based notifications.
I've just about talked myself into giving your online weaving school monthly membership a try.
Thanks for following along Kevin! I'm glad you're finding value in my videos. If you want to keep up to date with new RUclips videos and all my other news, I recommend you subscribe to my mailing list. You can do that here- kelly-casanova-weaving-lessons.ck.page/d06fa94d48
I think the floats would look real good, when you tie them together and anchor them in the fabric beneath. I think I have to try this, when the move is over and I buy my first loom
I liked the loops. I like the butterfly also but I would taper the edges with the ✂️.
Your video came at a very opportune time. I am trying to weave mug rugs on my Cricket loom. Your first way of adding interest and change to the plain weave is just what I need for my project. Thank you for showing how to carry the yarn up the side. I have just ordered a pick-up stick for my loom along with another shuttle, a 10 dent reed, and some cotton yarn. I may try using the pick-up stick also on some of the mug rugs.
That sounds like a great plan 😀
To make picking up from the left (loops) try using a crochet hook instead of your fingers.
Great idea 😊
Why can‘t use this little loom from the other side, so that you can use your right hand to pull the yarn??
Think they all look good, hope as soom as my daughter room finished I will be using then all
Thanks Pauline 😊
I am new to weaving, your video is very helpful. Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
Never seen the Butterfly technique before. You are a wonder🙂
🥰
Tried all 3 techniques on my new Ashford rigid heddle loom that came with a 7.5 reed. I have to say it really is important to have thick enough thread to cover up all the space with this size reed. I'm going to have to get a 12.5 or something so I can use all my thinner threads. That said, I did enjoy learning how to do the clasp weft technique - I can see how that could be very impressive if you can get the edges straight (hard to do!). I'd like to make squares or diamonds. I found the pickup stick technique tough because the edges were all 'off' (thanks for the wrapping around the outside thread idea - that helped). And my fell line wasn't very straight at all with any of the techniques. I think it was worse than it could have been because the warp yarn I used left too much space between each end. I'll try again with a thicker thread (or wait for my 12.5 reed!). But, as you said, this is a sampler! No mistakes just lessons to learn. Thanks!
Yes, yarn size definitely matters and will have a big impact on how your piece turns out. Do you know how to do a sett test? Here is a video just in case you need it - ruclips.net/video/I_s6aAqNrhg/видео.html
Muchas gracias, sus explicaciones muy claras logrando muy lindos tejidos es un gusto verla
Gracias!
Wonderful video, thank you so much for the wealth of information! I'm curious why you left the loose loops of blue yarn on left selvedge at beginning of the weaving? I wanted to tell you to pull them in tighter so they weren't sticking out LOL. I feel like buying a narrower loom now, mine is 16" so I've wanted wider but I love this one you're using.
It's a really handy size for little projects - and so portable! The blue yarn at the start - I probably just forgot to tuck it in, I forget the small details sometimes when I'm filming! 😉
Thank you, as always! All these techniques are just lovely, and all set for different variations. I personally like the loops, which I played with on a small frame loom, but am now excited to try it out on my little Cricket.
Fabulous, have fun with it!
@@KellyCasanova Thanks so much! I fully intended to start today, but instead wound up fabricating a pile of heddles from my cotton warp yarn cone. Having actually done this, I'm going to review your video on how to use a pick up stick to create an extra reed, and have some fun (the cats will be thrilled).
Love the butterflies!
Thank you!
I like your Videos very much
I'm so glad to hear it, thank you!
Great video Kelly. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! 😀
The butterfly colors might be jarring, but their brightness was great for the video, contrasted well with maroon
I'm a brand new weaver. Thank you for clarifying heddle positions. I had mistaken the "neutral " position as the down position and nothing was interlocking. tonight I started weaving. Tried your jazzy ideas-thinking of it as a sampler totally freed me to experiment. Made a few mistakes, but I was able to weave some alphabet beads into my first project.
That's the awesome thing about sampling, you just go with the flow and if it works, great, if it doesn't, oh well, you've just learned something. Keep up the good work! 😊
I’d like to try them all, Kelly. How do you think the butterflies would fare with wet finishing? That was a fun video. Love your attitude about exploring and experimenting and switching things up if something doesn’t look as you’d like it to look. Thank you. 💕
I did wet finish this piece and the butterflies are just fine 😊
Great video. Don’t have a loom yet. Hoping though
I hope you can get one, they're a lot of fun! 😊
Wonderful video! Thank you
Thanks Ellen! 😊
Amazing I love this video
Thank you Amira! 😄
Just had a thought, I do bead weaving as well as fiber weaving, and in doing the bead weaving we take thread through the eye of the beads, we "could" do that as well with the loops (go through the eye of the loops with thread/yarn to also secure it. What do you think? I think I am going to try that.
Let me know how it turns out! 😀
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching 😊
Such wonderful ideas that it's hard to pick a favorite technique. I'm just starting out weaving, and, was wondering what I could do on my projects besides just a plain weave all the time. Have a question, though ... on the "butterfly weave" pattern, if you want to ever wash your project, would you recommend washing by hand only, or, would it work out and look right if you tied the ends together in knots on either side of thebutterfly? Thanks for any advice, and, thank you for sharing your techniques with us.
They are fine to hand wash only - better for a decorative piece than one that needs a lot of laundering. The ends are very short when cut, so they would be very difficult to knot.
Sees loops, thinks pencil case design. 🤯😍
That would be cool! 😊
Nice! How far are those warp strands away from each other? I think about investing in a thing like that, but I want to sew with the fabrics that I make, like totebags or something. I wonder if, for example 5mm is enough for that. Have a nice day, greetings from the Netherlands
Do you mean how airy is the fabric? Sorry, I'm not quite understanding what you're asking 😊
@@KellyCasanova I mean, those vertical threads, the warp, how far apart are those threads? I want to make a loom myself, in order to see if weaving is a hobby for me. So, I have to space the nails a certain amount of millimeter away from eachother. Sorry English isn’t my first language, I hope you understand. How far apart do I have to space the warp threads? What’s the size between the first and the second warp thread? Or in other words, the amount of space between the warp threads?
En que prenda nos sugieres estos diseños? Bufandas o telares decorativos?
The butterflies might be best as a decorative option, but the other techniques can be used for scarves etc.
Instead of cutting your red and yellow threads, pinch them together and tie them with a small bit of thread to make your butterfly wings.
Lovely idea!
@@KellyCasanova Thank you. And if you position the little knot in your tie properly and trim the ends to leave a bit it would look like the butterfly's head and antenna. An embroidery trick I picked up somewhere along the way but it would work great in your butterfly weaving technique too. Love your videos!
@@gardenalways Cute! 😀
To floor loom is the same???
Yes, you can weave these patterns on a floor loom too.
