Thank you very much for the great explanations. I am very happy and already have many ideas in my head about how I would like to design my bags. Greetings from Lower Saxony, Germany
Thank you Caroline for this finishing techniques video!!!! It answered my questions! Especially about the round bottom finish. You responded very quickly with this video. Thanks!!! I am a Fan! Karen Ritter
Thanks. We moved last fall and I am still without a shop and studio. Just couldn't find the right site to film. Also got a new computer with a new editing program so am relearning all about movie editing! More to come next week!
Thank you so much for these videos! I found a short and confusing description of this method in an old Swedish textile book, and after lots of googling I found your amazing videos. I'm so happy that I can try it out now! I have one question though, is it possible to make decreases? I recall seeing a twined hat that looked a lot like a regular knitted winter hat ... I wonder if that sort of shaping would be possible in this method? Thanks again for the videos!
You're very welcome! And, yes, you can do decreases. Simply drop a warp where you want the decrease. Drop it to the inside and later you can cut it off and I dab a bit of glue on the end. You can decrease all you want. You can also increase by adding a warp where you want. Have fun!
Buenas tardes ,que maravilla ,como se llama esta tecnica? Y que origen ,de que pais ? Gracias muy bello todo ,desde hoy la sigo ,desde Chile mis bendiciones😊🙏
Translated: Good afternoon, how wonderful, what is this technique called? And what origin, from what country? Thank you very beautiful everything, from today I follow you, from Chile my blessings
Gracias por tus buenos comentarios. Es una técnica llamada twining. Todas las culturas hacen entrelazamiento de alguna forma. Es fácil y divertido de hacer. Probablemente puedas encontrar tejedores en tu país que hagan trenzado. ¡Divertirse!
Can you use the same technique for a flap or just a sheet? Or, I guess, you could make a small second one, attach it to the top. Which would double as a flap cover with a secondary pocket. FYI, I watched all your vids with a Haversack in mind.
Hummm. I’m thinking you could start at the bottom of the bag. You could have part of the warps long enough to do a flap. You’d have to finish off the flap and top in some way and stitch the bottom together. It can be done but would take a little experimenting. I’ll check what books I have (if I can find them) and see if there are examples.
@@carolinespurgeon6016 Good idea! I wonder, if I did it regular, like your vid. Could I take half the wefts from the “back” (tie them up out of the way for later), and twine as usual. Then use those for the flap? Or would that make the twining “off” some how, maybe not as tight, or would it bunch up because I’m going around 1/2 as many wefts, if that makes sense?
@@MrJonboy002 Yes, I think that would work. If you make sure not to pull it too tight it won't bunch up. You would twine back and forth on the flap. Then finish the flap and the top of the bag off with some kind of finish. There are several that would look good.

@@carolinespurgeon6016 Thank you very much! Much appreciated!
Can you recommend any sources for different patterns to use on the bag?
Google search for twined bags and see what you find. Also search Etsy.
How do I end my twining ? I want to do the knot the bottom technique
With your bag right side out hold the front and back together then just tie an overhand knot. Or do you mean the technique for making round bags?
Where do you get your wool?
Any yarn shop or online. I usually use bulky for my bags.
