Thank you, Kelly. watching you create art, and sharing how to create art is a gift you have in abundance!
Thank you Barry!
I love your u tube videos. It’s because of you that I own 2 ridged heddle looms. I enjoy all that you do.
Thank you and please continue on.
Thanks for the encouragement Wendy 😊
Always useful, especially the contra position between warp and weft floats. It's taken me a year to remember how to change from warp to weft and you explain it simply and understandably. Thank you.
Just started on my heddle loom and find this very helpful can’t wait to have a go
That's great Linda! 😀
Thank you. I have used the weft float on dish towels and now I will try the warp floats. So simple, yet it creates a beautiful cloth. Blessings.
All the best with it!
Lovely illustration, very clear, amazing for visual learners like me. Thank you.
Thank you Christien :)
Gorgeous work as always, Kelly...thank you for sharing. (The weft floats remind me of little Celtic Crosses.)
Wow , pretty cloth from really easy instructions!!!
Very nice video and thank you very much for explaining!
Thank you Anita :)
Thank you so much! You are so clever and talented!!
Thank you!
Noticed you do not hold the thread to keep a straight selvedge. Do you attribute this change to experience or the boat shuttle?
Beautiful love it thank you
hello Katty, lovely ! thank you for teatch us :D
Thank you :)
Thank you 🙏 for creating this clear tutorial! I now am the proud owner of a rigid heddle loom and I will try this technique with a pickup stick. Question? I have some 8/2 cottolin that I will double…should I use a 12 dent reed. Again, many thanks for your advice 😊, Debe
PS I forgot to mention I have 8,10,&12 dent reeds. I saw u doubled the warp threads, not sure if you did that in the weft? Again, with lovely 8/2 cottolin I can’t wait to try this out!🤗
Yes, the 12 is a good option for doubled 8/2. 10 dent is also ok for a little more open sett. Whether you double the weft is your choice, whether you want a softer, lighter fabric or something a little sturdier/heavier. My preference is usually a single weft, I just like the resulting fabric 😊
@@KellyCasanova Hi Kelly, many thanks for your advice. I will definitely try this out. I just ordered your lovely scarf pattern from your Etsy shop. The lacy one 😊! The review photos were beautiful. Have a great day!
@@1BigDoodle Thank you!
What is the size of your rigid heddle loom. In the process of buying one and cannot decide on the 24 or 32 inch. Your videos are so easy to understand. Thank you.
'
This is a 24 inch. Think about what you want to weave. A kitchen towel is about the widest you can go with this one. If you want to make baby blankets or wider cloth a 32 inch would suit better. Then you have the choice of weaving something narrow or something wider.
Kelly, first of all thank you for your videos. I'm new to weaving and your videos are great. On your video alternating weft floats and warp floats you mention that you did a double thread in your reed. how do you do that. The only reed I have right now is the one that came with my ashford rigid heddle. Can I use a thin yarn and double thread this reed?
Yes, you can! What dent reed do you have? That will determine the thickness of the yarn you can double up on. To do this, you have 2 cones/balls of yarn and pull through 2 instead of the one you usually use.
You mentioned “notes section”. I’m new to RUclips and I’m not sure how to see that section. Can you help? Thank you!
Yes, you may need to click on "show more" to reveal the drop down list of notes and links. Hope that helps 😊
When do you bring the pick up stick forward and when do you put in back??
Love this video. I'm assuming weft is single thread not doubled ?
Thanks Juanita, yes, the weft is single 😊
I notice you give the rigid heddle a little " wobble" onto each selvedge each time you beat; could you say a little more about that please? Why does it not cause the fell to become domed/curved? (I weave on a floor loom but I've found some of your methods very useful -- thank you!). Katherine from Kent, UK
I guess it doesn't cause curves because I wobble it to even it out. I don't always do it, it really depends on the weave structure and the yarn.
Ah, but How does it depend on the yarn and the weave? What factors make you decide to do it? And do you do it in order to overcome a slightly lower tension on the selvedges? Having a reed in a top-slung wooden beater, I only have to think about keeping my beat even, because the beater bar keeps the reed perfectly straight. If my selvedges need it, I can add a little more tension to them by slipping suitably folded paper or a short lath in at the edges of the warp- or cloth-beam. I'm just intrigued by seeing you beat with an extra little twiddle!
(Thank you for such a prompt answer to this question, even though the video is 2 years old 😊.) K
Um, well I guess an example would be a thicker woollen yarn that is quite springy and doesn't always settle into place as straight as I'd like. Yes, for a slung beater, you have the arms attached to the beater to guide the beats, not so with a RHL. My floor loom has a gliding beater, so no worries there.
And yes, it can help if the tension is not quite there at the edges.
It's funny, I never really thought about it that much! :D
Thanks Kelly 😊. It's nice to know I'm on the right wavelength, so to speak, as I'm not a terribly experienced weaver!
Again, thanks for the reply; isn't it amazing that we're on opposite sides of the world but can communicate so easily?! (I'm just showing my age now!)
Happy weaving!
Katherine from Kent 😉
Yes, it's really amazing, the internet has opened up a whole world of weavers to me, it's wonderful!
Kelly, can you tell me the hight of your boat in cm please. I have buy one but 2,4cm it's difficult to use it. Thanks 😘
Kelly where do i find your written pattern notes?
They are underneath the video, click on "show more" if you can't see them :)
So a waffle weave is a combination of these ...
There are quite a number of waffle weave variations, but yes, it can be a combination of these :)
I couldn't hear why your threads were doubled.
Kelly Casanova so much I don't know or understand yet!
You will get there. Baby steps!
As an observer only, a "Wannabe,"
a 'Going to be,' I'm curious about your choice of shuttle. Why this particular one, now? It seems to be faster.
It's a boat shuttle and I use it when weaving with finer yarns. Yes, it is faster, but you have to factor in the extra time to wind the bobbins. If I'm using a thicker yarn, it's generally faster and easier to use a stick shuttle.
@@KellyCasanova Thank you for taking the time.
My loom and stand will be here in a couple of weeks, (32" Ashford heddle loom).
I will be signing up for your input.
😆
@@scottheffernan5286 Congratulations on your loom, an excellent choice!
@@KellyCasanova I am a bead weaver at present. The eventual goal being a bandolier type bag, the strap being the beaded part, and now with my desire to learn about weaving, the bag constructed of fabrication woven on my new loom.
I do have some design issues. Colors? What is too much? Can texture stand in for lack of additional color? Whew!
So many questions. I love your design sense and would love for you to be able to share some with me if possible.
Thank you.
S.
@@scottheffernan5286 With colours - choose your favourite colours and see if you think they are harmonious together. Too many colours can loose their intensity and look messy or muddy. It's best to weave samples to try out colour combinations, it takes the guess work out of it. Yes, texture can provide additional interest, for sure.
far out! I have a 7.5 dent.
Lana Setzer I believe Kelly uses a 10 dent reed when double threading with the 8/2 cotton she mentioned. You could still double thread, but probably not with cotton that thin. That being said, I could very well be wrong because I'm not sure.
