Lovely lady, and a lovely video, thank you for sharing! I have only heard about a ski shuttle and never seen one in action. I do believe I now need one for my rigid heddle loom 😂 It's nearly Christmas, so wishing you all the best for a peaceful and happy time and a great 2023! x
I'm interesting to find out about the fabrics you use. Do you go to fabric stores and purchase colors and designs you have in mind for a project? Also, is that a Counter Marche loom?
@@Jill4Today Yes, I do purchase new 100% cotton fabric in colors and prints for my projects. I often find enough in my stash, though, so I only purchase a little more to get started. Yes, this is a Glimakra Ideal countermarch - perfect for rag rugs.
Hi Karen, thank you so much for the prompt reply. I am currently awaiting the delivery of my new David 3 43" loom. I'm very excited to get it. It's a sinking shed so there will be a learning curve but I felt less so than the Julia. ( At one point in my weaving "history" I had a 60" 12 harness. Way too much loom!) I'm amazed at how hard you can bang that Glimacra beater bar when weaving your rag rugs. It shows the sign of a well-built loom!
Thanks for all the tips. Newbie here haven’t woven a rug yet, but it’s on my list.
Glad you found it helpful! You will enjoy weaving rugs!!

Thank you so much! Ski shuttles are great if they have a low profile to fit in a smaller shed.

Is this a two-sided block design? I have not tried one but I love the look you are getting.
Hi Ellen, Yes, this is a two-sided block design. It's called double binding. It's a favorite of mine for weaving rag rugs. So much design potential.
