This was an absolute joy to watch. I don't need to learn another craft because I don't have enough time to do them all (I love quilting, spinning and crochet) but I think you may have convinced me because your scarf is gorgeous.
What fun, ay. My loom came just before Christmas and I have woven a pillow for my new living-room set that is going to be delivered in a few weeks. 3 more to go!
Yay! It turned out great! Never a doubt you could do it. Very Grateful for your videos. You have a very kind, easy to follow way of teaching, you're always soo happy, smiling and inspirational as well. Ty for all you do.
I remember I decided to make a bag for my grandads birthday so I started warping and the warp kept snapping so I had to figure something else out to weave So at 8 pm i started warping by quarter to 9 I was done warping and by 2 am a small selvedge rug was made I made it on my ashford rigid heddle so it was relatively small And it was a perfect present to give
Thank you 🥰 While your project is on the loom, do you see little gaps in between your picks? If not, this could be a hint that you are indeed beating too hard. I hope this helps 😊
Thanks!! I always let a bit of weft yarn hanging out when I change colors. I cut it after when finishing. I feel like it helps the yarn full out evenly in the wet finishing process. For this project, everytime I wanted to change colors, I split the ply of the weft yarn in two and pull it out a few inches from the warp. I took one ply and I ran it to the selvedge and over it and back in the woven piece to where I let the other piece of ply stuck out. (It's a bit hard to explain in words, I'll try to make a video about it soon) ☺️ It makes the changing of colors almost invisible!
I saw you used a ladder and a stik to put your wool around. How do you keep the ladder in place? Do you have a film that shows that more closely and showing how you wind the wool up? Another question is it necessary to use the same size wool for the warp as well as the werf? Thank you
I do have a video in which I explain how I use my step ladder for direct warping 😊 Here's the link ruclips.net/video/33aYJ9Z3Jos/видео.html It's a video that I have made to explain in details what I do when I direct warp my rigid heddle loom. For your second question, my answer is yes and no. It really depends on many things like the yarn you wish to use, the size of your heddle and the pattern you wish to make. So in general, no, your warp and weft yarn don't have to be the same size. In the project of this video, I wanted to have a plaid effect and I decided to used the same yarn for the warp and weft to help achieve my desired pattern. I hope this helps 😄
Ashford has a great video for warping your loom for the first time 😊 I have also made a warping video, but mine maybe a bit more about how I do things. Here's the link to my video: ruclips.net/video/33aYJ9Z3Jos/видео.html
For this scarf, in total, I used one whole ball of grey and a little bit of a second ball. I also used one whole ball of golden yellow and a little bit of a second ball. I used just a little bit of the pink yarn, so one ball was enough. I hope this helps!
There are different brands and different shops where you can buy such Rigid Heddle looms. It's worth doing a little bit of research depending on where you are in the world. Mine is a 32" (80cm) rigid heddle loom from Ashford.
I do this most of the time! The only times that I don't tie off a color is when I plan on doing only 1 loop of another color. In other words, I don't cut the first color and I warp my loop of the second color. Then, I just keep on warping with the first color. I hope this helps you 😊
I just finished a scarf on my new 10 inch Kromski Presto. I didn't use the entire width. It turned out terrific. It's only about 8 inches wide. I thought it was the perfect width for wrapping around the neck.
Hi! For both the grey and the yellow, I used one whole ball and a little bit of a second one. For the pink, I only used one ball (and there was still lot of it left at the end) 😊
This was an absolute joy to watch. I don't need to learn another craft because I don't have enough time to do them all (I love quilting, spinning and crochet) but I think you may have convinced me because your scarf is gorgeous.
Hahah I understand you so much 😊 And I must warn you, weaving can be really addictive 😄
I've been wanting to get into weaving and this video solidified my decision. This was a very well-made scarf and very beautiful.
Thank you 😊 and welcome to weaving!
Lovely scarf. I am a beginner and this would be great to start with 😊
Awesome! I wish you lot's of fun trying it 😄
A very good work to keep yourself and others with a present warm.
Absolutely! Thank you 😊
What fun, ay. My loom came just before Christmas and I have woven a pillow for my new living-room set that is going to be delivered in a few weeks. 3 more to go!
That's awesome 😄 I'm happy to know that you are enjoying your new loom 😊
Yay! It turned out great! Never a doubt you could do it. Very Grateful for your videos. You have a very kind, easy to follow way of teaching, you're always soo happy, smiling and inspirational as well. Ty for all you do.

I love the colors.. I gotta get my Loom put together and try and start doing these, I am a lover of plaid, so these are great patterns..
Thank you! And they are a lot of fun to weave too 😊
The music makes it hard for me to hear you. Very smart to hemstitch at the beginning. Good camera angles! Pretty scarf. Great job!
Thank you for your comment 😊 and I'm sorry about the music. I'll try to fix it in next videos.
Nice work! And I love that you carried the stripe pattern into the weft...much more interesting.

Thank you 🥰 While your project is on the loom, do you see little gaps in between your picks? If not, this could be a hint that you are indeed beating too hard. I hope this helps 😊
Is there a place I could find the exact pattern for your scarf. Thank you for sharing!
Not yet! But I'm working on a video and a blogpost about it 😊
Hi! As promised, here's the blog post about the pattern of this scarf curly-n-yarny.com/planning-warp-pattern-using-spreadsheet/
GREAT video! Beautiful job! How did you take finish the ends where you changed color (I saw them hanging loosely.
Thanks!! I always let a bit of weft yarn hanging out when I change colors. I cut it after when finishing. I feel like it helps the yarn full out evenly in the wet finishing process.

Which type of thread u used to make a towl
In general, I weave kitchen towels with cotton. However, it's also possible to use other fibers such as linen. I hope this helps 😊
I saw you used a ladder and a stik to put your wool around. How do you keep the ladder in place? Do you have a film that shows that more closely and showing how you wind the wool up? Another question is it necessary to use the same size wool for the warp as well as the werf? Thank you

Is there a video for a step by step demonstration for a beginner???
Ashford has a great video for warping your loom for the first time 😊 I have also made a warping video, but mine maybe a bit more about how I do things. Here's the link to my video: ruclips.net/video/33aYJ9Z3Jos/видео.html
How much wool is used in
one scarf.
For this scarf, in total, I used one whole ball of grey and a little bit of a second ball. I also used one whole ball of golden yellow and a little bit of a second ball. I used just a little bit of the pink yarn, so one ball was enough. I hope this helps!
where I can buy that waving machine?
There are different brands and different shops where you can buy such Rigid Heddle looms. It's worth doing a little bit of research depending on where you are in the world. Mine is a 32" (80cm) rigid heddle loom from Ashford.
You could check out The Woolery's website. Here's the link (affiliate): woolery.com/ashford-rigid-heddle-loom.html?aff=214
When warping do you tie off each color before starting the new color?
I do this most of the time! The only times that I don't tie off a color is when I plan on doing only 1 loop of another color. In other words, I don't cut the first color and I warp my loop of the second color. Then, I just keep on warping with the first color. I hope this helps you 😊
@@Curly_n_Yarny Yes. Thank you very much. I'm a big fan of your videos.
Question can you make a scarf on a ashford sample 16; lovely
Sure you can 😊 You can make a scarf up to 16" large if you warp the whole width of your loom.
I just finished a scarf on my new 10 inch Kromski Presto. I didn't use the entire width. It turned out terrific. It's only about 8 inches wide. I thought it was the perfect width for wrapping around the neck.
That's good too! Thanks for sharing 😊
How many skeins of each color did you use?
Hi! For both the grey and the yellow, I used one whole ball and a little bit of a second one. For the pink, I only used one ball (and there was still lot of it left at the end) 😊
