- Have you ever found a weaving draft that called for more treadles than you have? Did you swipe past it, thinking that you couldn't do it?
Well, my friend, I'm here today to show you how to make your loom work for whatever draft you want to tackle! As long as you have the right amount of shafts, you can do it!
In today's video, I tackle 2 topics together - treadles and weaving drafts. If you aren't familiar with one or both, I have a few prior episodes to help you out!
Ep 35, "Treadles and Tie-Ups" - • Treadles & Tie-ups
Ep 49, "Reading a Weaving Draft" - • Reading a Weaving Draft
Ep 73, "Direct Tie-Ups" - • Direct Tie-ups

Thank you for your explanation. I’m a new weaver and reading a draft is still a little daunting to me.
I believe it! But, once you have an idea of where things go, you'll be able to do it all! You'll get there!!!
Love the simple way you explain complicated concepts. Thank you! 🤗
Thank you! I'm so glad it's helpful!!
Man, sometimes the obvious is hard to see. You have a way of giving that ah-ha moment and not make one feel silly for not realizing how simple the answer is. Thank you!
Holly, what a lovely comment that is!!! Thank you so much!!!
This is so timely! I was just explaining this to a new weaver a few days ago. I just sent him the link to the video so he can have a refresher!
How fabulous! I love when that happens!!!
Chris, you are genius! Thank you!
Mary Jo, thank you - I'll take it! I'm glad it was helpful!!!
A skeleton tie up is helpful. Treddle envy early in my weaving journey had me purchase a 16S at a weak point with 18 treddles. Use my 4S more often, however. Thanks for the reminder to get out Dixon.
Wow! A 16-shaft loom is intense! That's so interesting that you use the 4-shaft more often. It's funny how we can go through phases! Thank you for the comment!!
Wow! Chris, you can read my mind!
I started to learn weaving on a floor loom recently and was wondering about the right solution to this exact question a couple days ago. Thank you so much for explaining this. 😃
How wonderful! I love it when the timing is right! Thank you for sharing!!
Brilliant as always, Chris. Clear, easy to understand and done in your usual fun way of presenting!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it!!
Thank you Chris for the video. Now that I understand the extra treadles on my 12 shaft loom I have to get my head around the 14 treadles. Thinking I will just ignore the extra ones on the left and right and just use them if needed for a pattern.
That's a great strategy! Sounds like you have your hands full with a 12-shaft loom! Have fun!
Thank you, that was a good explanation.
It's my pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful!
Fantastic!!! Thank you!!!!
@@RanchoLagniappe My pleasure! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Just started weaving on a cardboard loom i haven't figured out what type of loom i want to buy yet
Great explanation. I was wondering if a table lopm could work the same as floor loom.
Absolutely! You got it!
I am doing my first project. I am trying to sley the reed and I want to be sure I cut my yarn at the right time. Do I cut it after I place my lease sticks through the cross and right before I intend to slay the reed? And where do I cut it? My project is still on the warp board. I am not sure what my next step is.
I was looking at that exact Rose Pattern draft, and figured that you'd have to tie up each shaft to one treadle, and then press two or more treadles at a time to make them work. How is this going to work for a counter-balance loom, though? Do I need to have a shed regulator to make this work?
Oooh, great question! I'll ask my counterbalance expert to find out!
On page 35, I'm confused. It to me, has me treading on the same treadle twice ? That would pull out?
Hi! Great question! On page 35, they're showing a twill, and for a twill, floating selvedges are recommended. They will allow you to use the same treadling multiple times. Let me know if that helps!
@ActonCreative weaving is going to cause me to drink and smoke, lol . That makes since. It's a lot to learn.
@@ActonCreative thank you
@@lindaakers2991 Ha! I understand how it can feel very overwhelming at times! Just take it one step at a time - I know you can do it! I'm here for you!
