I am so grateful for this video. I’m now not going to panic 🙀 when I have a broken tread.
❤️😀
I just had a warp thread broke and was lost on what to do. Thank you for this video!
You're welcome! 😀
Thank you SO much!!! Easy easy easy!!! I had a knot in my warp, through a hole no less, and within 7 minutes was all taken care of and happily weaving again
That's wonderful Angela 😀
I was working on a double block weave project and had one of the threads on my bottom layer break and i hadnt realized for a few inches so i was relived to hear you didnt need to tie the new one to the old one. Used a t-pin and i havent had any more issues!! Thank you for a helpful video ❤
Great you were able to fix it! Double width is tricky considering that bottom layer is not visible most of the time.
You’re a very good teacher !
Thank you! 😃
Thanks! So good to know that I don't have to unweave.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Had a warp thread break and thought the whole project was done for! Followed your instructions (except I used a pair of heavy scissors for the weight). Worked like a charm!
So glad it helped you, good thinking with the scissors, there are so many things around the home that you can utilise as a weaving tool 😊
Oh gosh, Kelly THANK YOU! I am only on my 2nd project and a warp yarn broke! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
You're welcome!
This was very useful, thankyou! But also, I found that the adjacent warp thread was loose after cutting the broken one. So I had to put a weight on that one to keep the tension.
Glad you found a solution, I use weights a lot in weaving, they are such a great quick fix 😊
Thank you! By the way: I love the colourcombination between your socks and your weaving *Ü*
This is clear and helpful. I had a frayed warp thread in my 3/2 pearl cotton, which broke. Normally pearl cotton is a great warp thread. I wonder if one of my cats got to it, even though I always cover my project when I'm not working on it.
Cats are pretty crafty when it comes to getting the threads they want! It could have just been a particularly weak spot in the thread too - it happens. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you very much for yet another interesting and helpful video.
Thanks for watching!
Kelly:
Thank you. Saved my bacon again.
I'd made a mistake in my weaving - I used the wrong color yarn in the order of things. Figured it would be faster to cut it off. Inadvertently cut a warp string in the process. 😠
Used this option and am off and running again.
✌️
Awesome!
wonderful!
Hello Kelly - thanks for that re useful video. Am I right in thinking that you do not weave in the ‘tail’ of the new warp thread at any stage i.e so that for a short distance, the original warp thread and the new one overlap. From what you said, it seems that you just snip off the tail after wet finishing, so that the old and new warp threads do not overlap at all, is that right? Thanks very much.
No, you don't need to weave it in, both ends (the new and the old) get woven in naturally.
Thank you! My cat bit through one of the warp strings on my inkle weaving, I think this method will work to replace it.
😆 ah, cats. You've gotta love them!
Thanks!
Thank you! 🥰
Thank You!! I guess it was only a matter of time before I had a broken warp thread.
It's pretty much inevitable! 😆
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I love your videos! What size/weight S hook do you use.
Not sure of the weight, it's about 4 inches from top to bottom :)
Oh good. Big thanks Kelly😘
Kelly, I warped lots of slub yarn based on a pattern using cotton slub 8/2 and a 10 dent heddle to make 4 napkins. While making my first napkin the back and forth action has made some of the warp peel (fray). Is there anything I can do to stop the fraying? Do I need to change to an 8 dent heddle? Should I just cut off and get 8/2 (not slub) and use the slub on the weft? What do you do when fraying occurs? Thank you for any help!
Hi Anna, that is frustrating for you! Yes, personally I would use the slub as weft over warp. I wouldn't want to go to the 8 dent, as for something like napkins I think the sett would be too loose.
Awesome socks!
Ha ha, my husband buys me cute socks :)
Hi..if just one thread in the rigid heddle is loose, how do I make it taut, so it has the same tension as the rest ?
You can use an "S" hook and loop it over the loose thread at the back beam so that it hangs over the back and applies weight.
Thank you so much, this is amazing! Just to be sure, the beginning of the new warp thread just gets cut off once you wet wash the item? I don't weave it down through the already completed work?
Yep, it just gets cut off 😊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨🌟⭐️🌟✨😃❤️😃👍🏻👍🏻thank you sooooo much!!
Excelente tip
Thank you! 😊
Why do you have bits of thread tied off along the heddle? If they have a purpose you've discussed in a prior video, I've missed that one.
They are markers so that I don't have to count and recount slots when warping 😊
This was so helpful, thank you! My cat JUMPED on my warp 😭
Oh yes, cats love warps 😆
Wish I had searched for this before I tried superglue 😏🤣🤣🤣
😳🤔😆😂🤣
So you know---the volume on these is extremely low. :(
Yes, I'm sorry about that. This is an older video when I was just using the camera microphone to record, these days I have an updated and much improved audio system. Make sure you turn on closed captions if you need to 😊
