I loved your tutorial on twining! I've seen this done before but I've never been told how to do it. You explained this process very well and easy to understand! Thanks 😊
I have no idea why the algorithm sent me this video but it's perfect! I have been looking for how to reuse plastic grocery bags that have holes in them - and this is exactly what I needed! I can make them into new long term use WOVEN grocery bags!
Beware. Some grocery bags are now designed to break down. I don't know if the trigger is light or just time. I'd hate it if the project I'd worked so hard on started developing holes and disintegrating with in a year or so.
You can layer multiple grocery bags and melt them together using an iron to make a stronger material. Make sure to use parchment or wax paper between the surface you are ironing on and your iron. Also do this in an area with good ventilation.
Another fun craft! LOL I'd enjoy doing this. Simple, tactile, and practical! Thank you for adding to my closet of things I want to do!!! There are so very many old t-shirts in the world, and the seriously luxurious feel of them woven/braided together is definitely worth the labor. They are washable as well; which is a necessity imho. I started making "something out of nothing" when a college student in my first efficiency apartment. NO money at all, and not much to do when home anyway. Scrounge, repurpose, think of what kind of things you need; and look around for what is available. The pandemic gave me (us) time to look around and think about things like that again. My proudest moment was actually completing all the projects that I had bought fabric for! LOL Crafty ladies I know you feel my triumph!
Absolutely!! I’m a strong advocate for ‘Waste Not, Want Not’ philosophy. Just about everything can be fixed or repurposed. Glad to know my tutorials have given you another outlet for using reclaimed textiles and your creativity. Fight the fight, have fun and Happy Twining! 😀
Thank you! I received a rag rug loom for my birthday in September and now that the holidays are over I’ll have time to use it. Your video has been very informative. I want to start building good habits from the beginning and being mindful of the design. Again, thank you!

I’ve discussed making your loom in the first video of the series. You can find it here youtube.com/@studiotk2553 You can build one from scratch any size you wish. My pot holder frame is 8”x8” for example. It’s a good size to learn on. A thrifted picture frame works well too. Don’t forget the rods! So important for nice straight sides! Have fun and Happy Twining! 😀
Thank you so much you are very informative. I’ve been trying to do this on my own and it’s frustrating sometimes knowing that I want to do something but you make it look easy thank you.
Thank you for doing this video.. i don't know how I got this on my algorithm but I love it.. I've always been interested in twining but never knew how.. very easy instructions.. thank you 😊
Thank you so much for using 2 colors. It made is visually easy to understand. You clear in explaining the process, though for a beginner it SOUNDS confusing, but due to the colors and VISUAL INSTRUCTIONS IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you found my video helpful. Twining is difficult to explain. Like you said much easier to understand visually. Happy Twining! 😀
Will you do a video showing everything from the very beginning ? How you choose how many nails to use with your rods and how they look on the bottom as well as the top part. I’ve never tried weaving but I am now going to give it a try as I have an antique two seat swing that this would be perfect for.
I have four tutorials, that show the technique from beginning to end. You can find them here youtube.com/@studiotk2553 The size of your loom determines how many nails you need. I prefer to space mine at a half an inch. You only need two rods placed on each vertical side. I would make a small loom and give twining a try before you tackle a large project like your swing seat. Just so you get some practice and a feel for the technique. Hope this helps. Happy Twining! 😀
I discuss making your loom in the first video of the series. You can find it here youtube.com/@studiotk2553 The rods I use are 1/4” cold rolled steal. You should be able to find them at a good hardware store or something else that’s suitable. You just really want something that isn’t too thick and doesn’t have much give. Hope that helps. Happy Twining! 😀
Hi Patricia! I talked about making your loom in the first video of the series. ruclips.net/video/XpUnh26mVH4/видео.html Hope that helps. Dimensions are your choice of course, but the construction is quite simple. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. You can also find me on Facebook. facebook.com/studiotk22
Your weft can be sewn by hand or the slit knot method can be used to join your strips. I only hand sew my wefts when I want exact colour changes. Hope that helps!
There is a book called “Rags to Rugs” that gives clear instructions with photos for both twining, and making the looms. They are also available for purchase on Etsy.
Does it matter which direction you cut the fabric? Is it better to cut cross grain or with the grain I don't know if that makes sense like if you had a bed sheet would you cut the long way or the wide way
Thank you! 😊 I made a little hot pad. You can see it finished in the last tutorial. ruclips.net/video/VQ3ea0MMon4/видео.htmlsi=cp2KETBsWc1MWbg6 Thanks for watching!

Finally a Great tutorial , i have watched many off them but they go to fast and i am left saying ok hoe did you do that. With yours every step is shown in real time. This means i can now give it a go TRIPLE A for you teaching tutorial. Thank You. 😀
Oh, thank you ever so much!! You have me blushing! 😊 I’m so glad that you have found my tutorials helpful. Again thank you. You’ve made my day with your kind compliment. Happy Twining! 😀
Thank you so much for your video. I have made my own loom and I’m ready to start. I’m confused about the type of material we need to use. I went and bout discounted material. One material frays so much it’s just crazy and another one hardly frays at all. I know nothing about material. Could you tell me the best type of material to use that doesn’t fray so much. That way when I go back to the store I can ask for the type of material that you will have suggested. I cannot way to make rugs as our Quebec winters are often very cold
Welcome to twinning! I’m so glad to hear you want to help keep this ancient technique alive! To answer your question, all fabric frays. Cotton frays the least and polyester fibres the worst. Also the tighter the weave in the fabric the less fraying. Old sheets are my favourite. They still fray, but it’s manageable. Remember to pull off the ‘strings’ on your fabric strips before you twine it. Hope that helps. Happy Twinning!
I’m uncertain what reverse wrap cord is. Sorry not much help there. As for using dowels instead of rods, yes you can. On a side note though, wood dowels will bend a bit and leave the sides of your textile curved when you take it off the loom. Watch your tension. Hope that helps.
Oh my! I just looked up reverse wrap cord…it’s good ole’ cordage! I make it all the time! Never heard it referred to as reverse wrap. Learn something new every day!
Do you use one nail per warp or 2 like you have it? Or does it make a difference! Love the video ! It's good and close! I can see it well! Not a lot of extra talking to confuse me! Thanks so much! Keep inspiring!
Exactly how you see it, is how I was taught to warp my loom. If you only warp one nail at a time, you would have difficulty twining the two warps that are on each nail. Using two nails such as I have, makes it easier. Also that’s what helps lock your wefts in, so the textile doesn’t fall apart when you take it off the loom. Hope that helps.
Dear Studio TK, you showed up in my feed this morning and you are right on time. I subscribed. I'm looking forward to going back to your introduction video and making something. Let's see where this will take me. Most sincerely from, The Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢 January 11, 2023
Thank you so much for your very kind words! I truly do appreciate it. 😊 Hope you find the videos helpful. If you have and questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. You can also reach me here facebook.com/studiotk22 Happy Twining! 😀
I space my nails apart a half an inch. I discuss your loom in the first episode of the series. You can find it here youtube.com/@studiotk2553 It’s wonderful to hear that your going to give twining a go! I’d love to see your finished textile. Happy Twining! 😀
Here I’m twining a pot holder, but rugs, placemats, table runners, pillows and bags can all be made using the technique. Twining is also used in basketry and sometimes referred to as pairing.
Love this! I am starting right now. Two questions: 1. How long are your weft strips, and 2. How do you sew the extensions on if it is on the loom? Thank you so so much for this tutorial!
Wonderful! My wefts are the length of a torn sheet. The longer the better…less joins then. But whatever is comfortable for you. As for adding more weft, I use the slip/slot knot that I demonstrated in the tutorial for warping your loom. You can always hand sew the wefts together too. Hope that helps. Happy Twining!
I’m very new to twining, the other videos that I’ve watched say that that first row Hass to go around the steel bar with both weft strands, or else your piece will fall apart when you take it off the Loom but you’re not double wrapping it right? I’m confused
Yes, both wefts are going around the steel rods and the warp closest to them in each turn. You don’t have to go around the rod twice. Just treat the rod and closest warp as one and the same. It’s no different then a warp in the middle of the textile. Hope that helps! Happy Twining!
Yes I have. I made a few pot holders using old t shirts for the weft and cotton for the warp. They turned out lovely. Remember to pre stretch any stretchy material first and to watch your tension, so the item doesn’t pull in when it’s off the loom. Have fun!
I’m not certain where a frame loom can be purchased, but I discussed building your own loom in my first tutorial. You can find it here, ruclips.net/video/XpUnh26mVH4/видео.htmlsi=0oasxCn4OktLiz8W Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and Happy Twining!
Love your video! I have no experience with these rugs, so please forgive the question: Won't the fabric unravel with usage, washing etc? Is there an argument for hemming the strips?
Thank you! 😊 No reason to apologize. Questions are how we learn. To answer yours…no the rug will not unravel from daily use. It’s all in the ‘turn’ around your rods. It’s locked in place in the first row. You most certainly can hem your strips before you twine them into your rug, but seriously that’s a lot of extra work that will not enhance the strength/longevity of it. Hope that answers your questions! Happy Twining!
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you… a plain or tabby weave is over under over with one warp and one weft. Twining is two wefts alternating around one warp. It’s still weaving, just a different technique. Hope that helps.
I discuss how to build your own loom here ruclips.net/video/XpUnh26mVH4/видео.htmlsi=MzSjtR_TftwvMWxD Just a few simple materials are needed. A old picture frame works great.
There is no need to finish the sides or edges of a twined rug. The weaving technique if done correctly holds everything in place. Here is my tutorial on finishing up your twined textile. ruclips.net/video/VQ3ea0MMon4/видео.htmlsi=znFV1AGv14111A9s Thanks for watching. Happy Twining!
I used a small loom for this tutorial. It’ll make a 9”x9” hot pad. You only need to go through the loop once, when first starting your textile. It helps to lock your weft into place. After the first row there is no need to go through the loop again. Hope this helps.
Thank you. You have nothing to apologize for, I didn't expect you to answer in the middle of the night. 10 hours is not a delay. I'm sure that person didn't realize the question was asked late at night. Thank you for the explanation. Your videos did give use the confidence to give it a go. Happy New Year.
I have never made one of these, in fact this video is the first I am hearing of it. I find it fascinating but I do have a question that comes to mind when you talk about the strings. Why not just use Crimping scissors( that are used in sewing) when cutting the strips of cloth so that they don't fray and if they do it is not as much?
I’m so happy to know you’ve found twining! Yes those scissors will help, but you will still have strings…trust me. Nothing gets rid of them completely. It’s just part of the process. There will always be fraying because of the friction between the fabrics as you twine. Hope that makes sense. Happy Twining! 😀
@@jessicaeddins6550It will help a bit. I always rip my fabrics because I find it easier and quicker. Cutting takes more time. Try both ways and see what you prefer.
I'm confused about the end warps with the rods. On the left you used 1 loop and the rod for the first row, then 1 loop and the rod to turn on the right. But, then you used 2 loops and the rod on the second row turn on the left but still used 1 loop and rod to turn on the right again for the second row. Why did you make the change on the left?
@@allisonherndon6897 the loop in the warp on the left side only needs to be twined once. It helps secure the wefts. There is no loop on the right side, just the warp and the rod. The rods keep your selvages straight. Hope that helps
I would say regarding twined textiles… Articles that are woven using one warp and two wefts that are twisted and cross one another at the same time creating a single row.
This came across my feed. I've never heard of twining. A before and after would be nice. Are you just weaving a rug or is this a chair back? I seriously have no idea.
This is actually a hot pad. You can find my tutorials for basic twining here youtube.com/@studiotk2553 The videos will take you from start to finish. Thank you for your interest!

Hi. Why do you call this twining? I see others doing whatthey call weaving. I see you put your starter warp over 2 nails, whereas others go every nail. Can you explaine to a total novice?
Twining is a weaving technique. It is two wefts twisted over one warp interchangeably. Plain weave is one warp and one weft. My loom has an odd number of nails, that is why the warp is over one nail at the start ( left side ). Hope that helps. Happy Twining!

Using two nails such as I have, makes it easier. Also that’s what helps lock your wefts in, so the textile doesn’t fall apart when you take it off the loom. Hope that helps.
And thank you for your kind compliment and encouragement! I appreciate it! 😊
Very informative & thanks
Thank you!
Dear Studio TK, you showed up in my feed this morning and you are right on time. I subscribed. I'm looking forward to going back to your introduction video and making something. Let's see where this will take me.
Most sincerely from,
The Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢 January 11, 2023
Thank you so much for your very kind words! I truly do appreciate it. 😊 Hope you find the videos helpful. If you have and questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. You can also reach me here facebook.com/studiotk22 Happy Twining! 😀
Can you please tell me how far apart ur nails r on the loom? We want to build one.
I space my nails apart a half an inch. I discuss your loom in the first episode of the series. You can find it here youtube.com/@studiotk2553 It’s wonderful to hear that your going to give twining a go! I’d love to see your finished textile. Happy Twining! 😀
Don't understand why the L side , Row 2&3, cross /are wrapping around two verticals plus the rod??
You only need to go through the loop once, to help lock your weft in. After that you treat the loop as one warp. Hope that helps.
What is twining used for?
Here I’m twining a pot holder, but rugs, placemats, table runners, pillows and bags can all be made using the technique. Twining is also used in basketry and sometimes referred to as pairing.
I liked your video very much!
Thank you very much! Happy Twining!
Olá, tudo bem eu acho oseu trabalho muito interessante quero te agradecer por encimar tão bem eu aprendi assistindo essa aula muito obrigada
You are most welcome! Thank you so much for your kind words. 😊 Happy Twining!
Bu öğretici video için çok teşekkür ederim emeğinize sağlık 😍💐
Thank you so much! Happy Twining! 😀
Thanks, I made a few, but did not have a rod, so they were not straight. This helped a lot.
Oh! The rods are sooooooo important for straight sides! Glad I could help! Happy Twining! 😀
Love this! I am starting right now. Two questions: 1. How long are your weft strips, and 2. How do you sew the extensions on if it is on the loom?
Thank you so so much for this tutorial!
Wonderful! My wefts are the length of a torn sheet. The longer the better…less joins then. But whatever is comfortable for you. As for adding more weft, I use the slip/slot knot that I demonstrated in the tutorial for warping your loom. You can always hand sew the wefts together too. Hope that helps. Happy Twining!
I’m very new to twining, the other videos that I’ve watched say that that first row Hass to go around the steel bar with both weft strands, or else your piece will fall apart when you take it off the Loom but you’re not double wrapping it right? I’m confused
Yes, both wefts are going around the steel rods and the warp closest to them in each turn. You don’t have to go around the rod twice. Just treat the rod and closest warp as one and the same. It’s no different then a warp in the middle of the textile. Hope that helps! Happy Twining!
Thank you for sharing
My complete pleasure! Happy Twining! 😀
how to finish it?
I have a tutorial for finishing your twined textile…you can find it here youtube.com/@studiotk2553. Thanks for watching! Happy Twining! 😀
Have you try to warp with woven cloth, but weft with jersey or knit ( T-shirt material)? And if yes, how did it turn out?
Yes I have. I made a few pot holders using old t shirts for the weft and cotton for the warp. They turned out lovely. Remember to pre stretch any stretchy material first and to watch your tension, so the item doesn’t pull in when it’s off the loom. Have fun!
@@studiotk2553 Thank you.
thank you so much. 👍👍👍😍
@@selvi1309 my pleasure! Happy Twinning!
What do you call the loom and where do you purchase one and what's the affordable price 😊
I’m not certain where a frame loom can be purchased, but I discussed building your own loom in my first tutorial. You can find it here, ruclips.net/video/XpUnh26mVH4/видео.htmlsi=0oasxCn4OktLiz8W Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and Happy Twining!
Thanks. 👍👍
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and Happy Twining!
Love your video! I have no experience with these rugs, so please forgive the question: Won't the fabric unravel with usage, washing etc? Is there an argument for hemming the strips?
Thank you! 😊 No reason to apologize. Questions are how we learn. To answer yours…no the rug will not unravel from daily use. It’s all in the ‘turn’ around your rods. It’s locked in place in the first row. You most certainly can hem your strips before you twine them into your rug, but seriously that’s a lot of extra work that will not enhance the strength/longevity of it. Hope that answers your questions! Happy Twining!
How is twining different from weaving?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you… a plain or tabby weave is over under over with one warp and one weft. Twining is two wefts alternating around one warp. It’s still weaving, just a different technique. Hope that helps.
Can you tell me how long the woods and how many nael you have teking ❤
It depends on the size of your frame. I’ve explained how to make your loom in the first video of the series. Check it out!
Where can I get a loom?
I discuss how to build your own loom here ruclips.net/video/XpUnh26mVH4/видео.htmlsi=MzSjtR_TftwvMWxD
Just a few simple materials are needed. A old picture frame works great.
Интересно
Awesome Awesome
Thank you so much! Happy Twining! 😀
Can you please show your end video of how to end of the rug. On the sides and on top please
There is no need to finish the sides or edges of a twined rug. The weaving technique if done correctly holds everything in place. Here is my tutorial on finishing up your twined textile. ruclips.net/video/VQ3ea0MMon4/видео.htmlsi=znFV1AGv14111A9s Thanks for watching. Happy Twining!
How large is your loom? Why did you split the loop on the right, but not the last (10:49)
Why no answer? Perfectly valid question; otherwise the tutorial is confusing/inconsistent.
I used a small loom for this tutorial. It’ll make a 9”x9” hot pad. You only need to go through the loop once, when first starting your textile. It helps to lock your weft into place. After the first row there is no need to go through the loop again. Hope this helps.
@@t-ri2582 I apologize for the delay. I’ve answered the question. I hope you find it helpful.
Thank you. You have nothing to apologize for, I didn't expect you to answer in the middle of the night. 10 hours is not a delay. I'm sure that person didn't realize the question was asked late at night. Thank you for the explanation. Your videos did give use the confidence to give it a go. Happy New Year.
Thank you for your understanding. I do really appreciate it. I’m glad you are giving twining a go! Enjoy the process! Happy New Year to you as well!
Muito interessante gostei
Thank you! 😊
I have never made one of these, in fact this video is the first I am hearing of it. I find it fascinating but I do have a question that comes to mind when you talk about the strings. Why not just use Crimping scissors( that are used in sewing) when cutting the strips of cloth so that they don't fray and if they do it is not as much?
I’m so happy to know you’ve found twining! Yes those scissors will help, but you will still have strings…trust me. Nothing gets rid of them completely. It’s just part of the process. There will always be fraying because of the friction between the fabrics as you twine. Hope that makes sense. Happy Twining! 😀
@@studiotk2553 that makes sense would it reduce it or is it a waste of time?
@@jessicaeddins6550It will help a bit. I always rip my fabrics because I find it easier and quicker. Cutting takes more time. Try both ways and see what you prefer.
@@studiotk2553 Love this! I understand that part of it is perhaps to repurpose fabric, but could you use ribbon?
@@elizabethk6658 Most certainly! The possibilities are endless! Experiment and have fun!
I'm confused about the end warps with the rods. On the left you used 1 loop and the rod for the first row, then 1 loop and the rod to turn on the right. But, then you used 2 loops and the rod on the second row turn on the left but still used 1 loop and rod to turn on the right again for the second row. Why did you make the change on the left?
@@allisonherndon6897 the loop in the warp on the left side only needs to be twined once. It helps secure the wefts. There is no loop on the right side, just the warp and the rod. The rods keep your selvages straight. Hope that helps
definition of twining?
I would say regarding twined textiles…
Articles that are woven using one warp and two wefts that are twisted and cross one another at the same time creating a single row.
I would have liked to see the finished product..
You can see it in my next tutorial… ruclips.net/video/VQ3ea0MMon4/видео.html
Thanks for watching! 😊
when the first row is done, it looks like a line of kermits, all wearing cream colored caps.
Haha! I guess that’s one way of looking at it!
I saw that too! 😂
This came across my feed. I've never heard of twining. A before and after would be nice. Are you just weaving a rug or is this a chair back? I seriously have no idea.
This is actually a hot pad. You can find my tutorials for basic twining here

Por favor traducir al español gracias
I will look into that. Thank you for the suggestion.
So it's vertical braiding/plaiting with horizontal strands.....
I suppose that’s one way of looking at it. I always refer to twining as one warp and two wefts that are twisted and woven together in the same row.
О, дякую. Цікаве відео, цікава робота. Можливо колись спробую зробити щось таке. Доброго вечора, я з України.
Thank you. Interesting video, lovely work. I hope sometimes to do something like this. Good evening I'm from Ukraine.
I’m happy to hear my tutorials have inspired you to try twining someday. Have fun and Happy Twining! 😀
@@studiotk2553 good luck to you too!
Have a new nice working. I'll be waiting for your further video with interest.
@@vsdnkn thank you! I’m not sure if you have seen all of my tutorials on Basic Twining. If not, you can find them here youtube.com/@studiotk2553 I will be making more videos hopefully in the near future. Thanks for watching!
I just started a wall hanging. Just thought I would wing it. This showed up on my tl. Thank goodness. This will save me untold time and aggravation.
That’s fantastic to hear! I’m glad to have been able to help. I would love to see a picture of your wall hanging, if you would like to share.

E nrola muito para explicar estressante, estressante cansa mais do que o trabalho.
Once you give twining a go, it all comes together and makes sense. Hope you do give it a try.
Where is the done product, what are u even twining?
I twined a little hot pad. You can see it finished here ruclips.net/video/VQ3ea0MMon4/видео.htmlsi=b0I8ev8dmLhvP5OM and also learn how to finish your twined textile. Thanks for watching!

Hi. Why do you call this twining? I see others doing whatthey call weaving. I see you put your starter warp over 2 nails, whereas others go every nail. Can you explaine to a total novice?
Twining is a weaving technique. It is two wefts twisted over one warp interchangeably. Plain weave is one warp and one weft.
My loom has an odd number of nails, that is why the warp is over one nail at the start ( left side ). Hope that helps. Happy Twining!
You don't need to repeat As this is a video we can press rewind and play it as many times as we need .
I suppose so. I chose to make the video as I would teach in a class. So hence, the repeats. Thank you for your suggestion. I will keep it in mind.
"Diy on the house" shows more details regarding the process. Nevertheless thank you
I have a set of four videos that explains twining from start to finish. If you would like, check them out. Thanks for watching.
