I have not heard of twining, but the algorythm brought your video to me. I sm interested now in learning more. I will watch your videos and see if I will give a go. Sounds very appealing to me. 😊👍
I am going to start collecting sheets in fun colors. How many sheets do I need, per rug, do you suppose? I will make them for the laundry, first, then for the kitchen, because they are both washable, and so cute!
Oh, that will be wonderful! I’m glad you are taking up twining. I’m sure you’re going to love it! To answer your question…they take more than you think. There is so many things that come into play. The type and weight of your fabric, the size of strips you wish to use, also how big you wish to make your rug. I suggest making a couple of trivets first and get a feel for the fabrics and how they twine up. Have fun and Happy Twining!
I’m not certain how a potholder loom would work without a few changes…you would have to figure out how you would attach the selvage rods on the sides. Outside of that, I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. Give it a try and have fun!
I’m so sorry for not getting back to you sooner! My apologies. Too answer your question…it doesn’t matter if you have a odd or even number of nails. Either or will not affect your textile. Happy Twining!
I apologize for not mentioning that. I like my warp and weft to be ripped/cut at around 1 1/2” wide. I know some folks will prepare their fabric up to 3” wide. There is no hard fast rule. Just remember the thicker the fabric strips, the thicker the finished textile. Hope that helps. Happy Twining! 😀
You most certainly can make round and oval twined rugs. They are not done on a loom. Bobbi Irwin has a fantastic book that shows how’s it done. It’s call Twist and Twine.
There is a uneven amount of nails because of the half inch spacing between the rods. A nail should be placed as close to the rods as possible. Outside of that, there really isn’t any reasoning. Hope that helps.
I rip/cut my fabric into a inch and a quarter strips. I like a tight woven rug, but I know a lot of twinners cut theirs at two inches. It’s totally up to you and what you are comfortable working with. Experiment and have fun!

Good bideo
Thank you so much! 😊
@@studiotk2553 sorry, that was meant to say video…lol
Can I use my Harrisville Pro loom. I bought it thinking it’s a great little hobby, but the loops are out of my price range
I’m not certain how a potholder loom would work without a few changes…you would have to figure out how you would attach the selvage rods on the sides. Outside of that, I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. Give it a try and have fun!
the number of nails on each end, should they be an odd number?

@@studiotk2553 Thanks for the reply.
I am very interested in this technique. How wide do you tear your strips? Are the weft and warp the same width?

Can you do round or oval shapes or is it only for squares and rectangles?

@@studiotk2553 Thank you; I’ll check it out!
Why do you have an uneven number of nails. Is there a reason for this? Thank you.

How wide are your strips
I rip/cut my fabric into a inch and a quarter strips. I like a tight woven rug, but I know a lot of twinners cut theirs at two inches. It’s totally up to you and what you are comfortable working with. Experiment and have fun!
Can you buy the looms
I don’t sell my looms, but a thrifted picture frame, nails and rods is really all you need to get started.
Please talk louder.
Thank you for your suggestion.
