Is there anything this lady can't do? As a weaver I always thought I'd never want to waste time on an upright loom, even though my baltic ancestors undoubtedly used them, but this series has left me inspired to give it a go. That's the mark of a great teacher - thanks Sally! Especially tying a tablet weave to the edge of a cloth, I've long wondered how that was done. Though I'd still like to learn how to do that with the bottom hem. (Somewhere in YT universe there's an old b&w film of Scandinavian weavers using such a loom on their farm, as that family has done for centuries. Worth hunting up.) I see now from your website you've had a seriously rough trot over the last couple of years. I do hope your obvious inner strength and positivity pulls you through. Sometimes the only way is through, not around. Blessings to you! You perform great service through your work, in many ways, on many levels.
Thank you! Most weaving videos I’ve seen have been with costly manufactured machines. Weaving was one of the earliest arts, with simple setups. Cloth weaving is something we don’t think about much these days.
Please can there be another part to this? I would love to see the progress for this loom, for the adult size loom, and perhaps any work children have done?
Thank you so much for this video! I'm an author currently working on a historical piece where the woman is a weaver and wanted to really get a good grasp on what she would be doing. This is so incredibly helpful!
I have been enjoying this series on weighted weft. I am intrigued by the similarities and differences between this style of weaving and Navajo weaving, which is also done on an upright loom but has a fixed warp.
It's so interesting to see the amount of time, effort, and skill required to weave by hand. Makes me appreciate what I have :) Thanks for the video Sally!
Thank you so much for this series - I started at the end, but will now watch from the start. This clarifies so much of what I've tried to picture when reading about ancient history and how things operated. I wonder if, at some point, there could be some exploration of ancient tapestry techniques? I have two cats who like to help me sort and blend yarns.
Love your videos Sally. I can imagine some late bronze age or early iron age person wearing garments made from your method. Fascinating and expertly presented.
Thanks so much Sally, this video series has been incredibly helpful. We are looking at creating a woven piece on a warp weighted loom at my work. And this series has been helpful to get my brain wrapped around the whole process and what all is involved. Looking forward to the last installment!
This series was incredibly helpful! I haven't found the overall video you refer to in the end of this one, but I hope you still made one. We are in the final stages of building our own warp-weighted loom, and I landed on your channel looking for how to do the heddle knots. I've now changed my plan a bit for doing the top bar (tablet woven instead of plain inkle) and learned and verified other things along the way. I'm hopeful that we'll do a video on our version as well as part of the documentation process. I'll definitely link back to your playlist. Thank you!
Hello Sally, your videos are really fantastic, so from time to time I rewatch them and it's always a joy...The best wishes for the year 2022, Monique 🙂
That first bit of weaving, where you are trying to order out your warp....there's a muscle way to do it, and it works really well to expose the problems immediately, and shows a bunch of problems all at once. Open the shed Throw a shot Change the shed Throw a shot Change the shed Throw a shot Change the shed BEAT THE WEAVING By beating three shots at once at the very beginning, you spread your warp, establishing the web, and your pull all of your threading errors right up in front of your nose!
Has there been a part 8? This is the first series on warp weighted looms I've found that actually shows how to use them. I really want to see the finish.
About how heavy are the weights you used? I'm planning on starting to make some in my ceramics class using a modular combination of hook bolts, rubber washers, hex nuts, and ceramic wheel-thrown spools so that the excess warp can be wound up and stored on the hooks and unreeled as needed, rather than chained, which it appears must be repeated every time you need more warp with your style of weights. I'm thinking I'll make my weights a little lighter than yours to prevent the extra tugging at the header.
The only thing I don't understand is heddle? How does it separate threads when you push it back in? I've often wondered how threading every other one on a stick works with just one heddle....
Things stalled a bit when my husband became very ill last year, but it's still waiting to be warped up. House is a bit too full of medical appliances at the moment for me to take over another wall, but hopefully not too long!

I really appreciate that you include the things that can go wrong, and how to correct them.

Thank you Sally P for this particular series! I have always been baffled at the workings of an upright loom, and lo, I get it, now!
You are fabulous.

Thank you for this series and in particular the session on tying heddles. Your method for doing that makes so much sense!
Great video series 👍

Fastest half hour of my week! I'm going to have to find time to rewatch this series again soon.
This was a lovely series.

I am so enjoying your videos. This weaving series shows how much work it was for our ancestors. Thank you very much.

Thank you! Happy New Year!
So fascinating to watch. Thank you for including the errors, I'm bound to make them and more.
Great instruction. Thank you so much.

BEAT THE WEAVING
By beating three shots at once at the very beginning, you spread your warp, establishing the web, and your pull all of your threading errors right up in front of your nose!
I'll try that. Thanks!
How goes the weaving?
grossartig, danke
I never suspected that weaving would be such an arm workout.
Oh yes, it can really hurt if you work at the wrong angle! I can feel it today where I was at awkward angles whilst filming.
Really great work. I just try to imagine how it would look like and feel like if you would do this with nettle strings instead.
Would be very like using flax
@@SallyPointer So, which material is the softest, I'd guess they used linen and combined it with fluffy sheep fur or rabbit or cat fur.
@@FrauWNiemand I'm sure many people throughout history have woven with cat fur, whether they meant to or not!
Has there been a part 8? This is the first series on warp weighted looms I've found that actually shows how to use them. I really want to see the finish.
Not yet, everything stalled when Gareth died and I had surgery, but I'm planning on catching up the things that got interrupted next year!
Cool
going to have to rewatch the rest later, had to afk for several minutes and forgot to pause.
About how heavy are the weights you used? I'm planning on starting to make some in my ceramics class using a modular combination of hook bolts, rubber washers, hex nuts, and ceramic wheel-thrown spools so that the excess warp can be wound up and stored on the hooks and unreeled as needed, rather than chained, which it appears must be repeated every time you need more warp with your style of weights.

Learned a lot from this, finally understood how the loom works. Thank you.
By the way I assume this is what they call a ‘tabby’ weave right?
That's right! Plain weave/tabby weave
The only thing I don't understand is heddle? How does it separate threads when you push it back in? I've often wondered how threading every other one on a stick works with just one heddle....
The weights help pull the shed back into place when you release the heddle
Great videos !!! I wonder if a piece like this would have been finished by tablet-weavining or in another way...hello from Germany :-)
There are ways to finish all four borders with tablet weaving, it's something I plan to try myself at some stage
tesla: I WILL DO NO SUCH THING! The birds and squirrels need to know that no matter what you say I'm still the one in charge. So there!
This is why Silas Marner adopted an orphan not a cat.
Hi are you going to show the large loom?
Things stalled a bit when my husband became very ill last year, but it's still waiting to be warped up. House is a bit too full of medical appliances at the moment for me to take over another wall, but hopefully not too long!
@@SallyPointer oh no I hope he is ok and get better soon.
@@SallyPointer I'm sorry to hear about your husband's illness. I hope he gets well soon!
you have a very cute little round face. little red cheeks
