Girl, you REALLY need to make more videos. You are an excellent teacher! I bought a loom, have it threaded, but it has sat there 2 years because I’m afraid. I’m going to give it a go. I’ve watched so many videos on how to read a draft. Yours is by for better than any other video I have seen. Please, please, consider making videos on how to actually weave.
Hi!! Thank you so much for your encouragement. I do really want to get back into making videos, but I feel out of practice and kind of afraid to start again. Isn't that silly? Is there anything specific that's intimidating you about weaving? I feel like winding the warp and threading is the hardest part! I'd love to hear what you need help with so I can be further motivated to make more videos. Wishing you all the best!
I am a rigid heddle weaver, and have been struggling to understand how to translate 3 and 4 shaft patterns to my loom, using extra heddles/pickup sticks. Lots of videos showing people weaving this way, and how to warp for that specific pattern. Also video explanations of drafts that don't look like the drafts I am finding in books and online. Your video was EXACTLY what I have been needing! Now I can translate any pattern myself. Thank you!!!
So when I actually start to weave I start. at the bottom of the trendling chart and when I get to the top I start over at. the bottom? Is that correct? Thank you

Yay!! That's so great to hear. Happy weaving!
The best explanation! Clear and simple
Thank you!
Thank you for a clear, thoughtful explanation.
In swedish drafts, the first shaft is the one furthest away from you!
May I know the name of the book on the RUclips screen?
It's the Handweaver's Pattern Directory by Anne Dixon!
@@darcyfabre Thank you😀😀

Exactly right! On the loom, you're weaving the cloth from bottom up, so that's the way you need to read the treading chart.
