Rigid Heddle loom - Weaving a Supplemental Warp

If you are interested in using a supplemental warp on your rigid heddle loom here is one option. I hope this provides another idea for weaving using accent yarns in your warp.
I must admit rigid heddle weaving is not my strong point, however I am learning a lot.
After I made this recording a friend suggested using string heddles on a rod to lift the supplemental yarns. Similar to tapestry weaving. I will do this the next time!

I love your videos. They are so very helpful for a new weaver. I appreciate so much the time that you spend explaining things so clearly. Side note... I bought my first rigid heddle loom from you. It was a little Beka. 😊 You are such an inspiration!!!

Thank you so much. Thanks for reminding me.

Great explanation! I love the idea of using those spring clamps as weights, I have a bunch of them.

Thank you.

A brilliant idea!

[@MargeryErickson]

Thanks. Trying provide more ideas for weavers to try.

I suggest putting a string through the first pickup yarns, so after you take out the stick you can easily put it back again instead of having to go through the extra time making sure its all picked up correctly each time. Or use heddle strings and a dowel. Both work well and save time.

Yes I agree and did do this on a later project. I will add it in the description.

You're welcome!

This looks like a nice added element. Could I use string heddles for the “up” pickup stick?

[@MargeryErickson]

Yes - After I posted this an avid RH weaver made this suggestion.
