I always love seeing that there’s a new video from you. What a nice way to spend some time on New Year’s Eve! Happy New Year Andy, and best wishes for lots of wonderful weaving in the upcoming year!
Thank you so much for showing the threading process! As a new floor loom weaver, this is the scariest part of starting to me. I had the heddles of all the shafts spaced out like multiple heddles on a rigid heddle 😅 and couldn't see the tree for the forest.
I'm just about done refinishing the mighty finnish 8/8 floor loom i acquired. I can't wait to get my more complicated drafts on it. I love watching you work!
@@curmudgeon66 OH! It's call AQUARIUM - like water in a fish tank. Dark blue. :) I have several looms - but are used for delicate things. This finnish one is a BEAST. I most certainly will let you know :) She is unique, that's for sure.
"Empire of the Scalpel: The History of Surgery" I bought it on Amazon and listen to it in the Audible (from Amazon) app. Another similar book, which I found very interesting was: "The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine". Thanks for watching and commenting.
I am a bit confused. You told us this was a 12 epi sett, and that the threading you had just done ended with shaft 4. You then pulled out 3 heddles, explaining that they would be threaded 3-2-1. Why does that group contain 3 threads, rather than 4? At 5:28, you said you were working with sets of four, and the next 4 heddles were threaded-3-2-1. BTW: I am a fan. I think I've viewed all of your weaving videos.
My threading was: 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 First part of a point twill then 3-2-1-4-3-2-1-4-3-2-1-4 Second part of a point twill then repeat the 1-2-3-4 etc. Just to make it easier for me to keep in my head as I am threading heddles I did 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 and then 3-2-1- 4-3-2-1 4-3-2-1 4-3-2 and then repeat beginning at 1-2-3-4, So yes - that is not exactly groups of 4, but when doing point twill on four shafts one does not want to repeat the same thread which is what would have happend in a bunch of full sets of four, as follows 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 and then 4-3-2-1 4-3-2-1 4-3-2-1 This would have given me two threads on heddle #4 next to each other and then two threads on shaft (heddle) 1. Hope this makes sense, if not let me know and I will try to explain it again.
Meant to ask last time - What is your epi on your reed with that larger yarn for that nice drape you get? I'm not used to the larger stuff and would like to have a number to start with for my first test of this new loom.
I love that we can hear your wife sewing. My Mom is a quilter. That is the sound of my childhood ❤
Thanks from Ohio for your videos. I'm always pleased when I see an upload from you. Have a beautifully interlaced 2025.
Excellent: video, info and that scarf too! Thanks for taking the time to share. Much appreciated 🤗

Have a Great New Years. Thank you for the videos.
I hope you had a good Christmas, and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Great to see you on New Year's Eve! Beautiful set of scarves, Andy. Thanks so much for sharing, and wishing you a very, very blessed 2025!
Thank you for the kind words. Happy New Year to you too!

Glad it was able to help you. Looking forward to your finishing a project on your floor loom and seeing what you make when you post the video. 😃

Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing you weave on your loom. Please let me know when you post your weaving video.

Nice design!
Not much to say about it?! It's gorgeous! :)
Happy new birthday ❤
See you next year
This was fun to watch, thanks!
Do you have a link to the book you were listening to? It sounds fascinating.
"Empire of the Scalpel: The History of Surgery"
I bought it on Amazon and listen to it in the Audible (from Amazon) app.

My threading was:
1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 First part of a point twill
then
3-2-1-4-3-2-1-4-3-2-1-4 Second part of a point twill
then repeat the 1-2-3-4 etc.
Just to make it easier for me to keep in my head as I am threading heddles I did
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
and then
3-2-1-
4-3-2-1
4-3-2-1
4-3-2 and then repeat beginning at 1-2-3-4,
So yes - that is not exactly groups of 4, but when doing point twill on four shafts one does not want to repeat the same thread which is what would have happend in a bunch of full sets of four, as follows
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
and then
4-3-2-1
4-3-2-1
4-3-2-1
This would have given me two threads on heddle #4 next to each other and then two threads on shaft (heddle) 1.
Hope this makes sense, if not let me know and I will try to explain it again.
