Hi. The way to solve the twisting of the warp is...and you'll kick yourself for not thinking of it..... instead of going from left to right around the top pegs, go from right to left. Also, to save some yarn, but especially time, when you have finished the weaving instead of removing the weaving with your method, just get your crochet hook, remove two loops from the nails and pull the second loop through the first. Then take the next loop off and pull it through the loop on your hook. And so on... until there are no more loops on the loom. Voilà!
@@DIYOnTheHouse I'm glad I could help. Like you said, we've gotta share our knowledge, so we can all get better. I've learned alot from you, so I figured I owed you. 😉
The way you describe is the way we dd it with our kiddie looms back in the 50s -- the ones where you used a supplied cloth loop. This looks fun, again!
Thanks so much for sharing your pin loom weaving. I have started a porject and am loving it. I fix the twisted warp problem by lacing the warp around the top pins (nails) anticlockwise (up on the right and down on the left.
Hello Kara, Ross, and the family. Love the ways you explain and demonstrate, it helps me understand easily and clearly (I'm kind of having tiny brain, having a hard time to understand by just verbal explanations 😅) and enjoy watching your videos like I'm weaving along with you (but I'm actually not. haha) I'm very thankful and appreciate for your sharing and teaching knowledges of arts and crafts; especially, to the people who don't have background or basic skills, or foundation like me. Thank you again. By the way, you got very lovely family 🙂
Hi, I'm really enjoying learning the many variations of weaving that I can do on my new Dewberry pin loom. You said if anyone knew how to avoid the twisted warp threads to comment. Well I have found that when putting on the warp (hope that's the correct term) thread on the top pins I wrap them around the pins from the right side of the pin, bringing it back to the bottom from the left side of the pin. Which is just the opposite of the way you are doing it in this video. I have no twists. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your great video. Diane
to prevent the twist you just need to go around the nail the oposite way, so instead of going over the top, right to left go left to right, you will stilll have a small twist at the bottom but i'm sure it will be easier to manage
To keep the strands from twisting, when you are warping, just keep the same strand on top as you warp. Same strand on top, same strand on the bottom. It may get a bit twisty on the start of the weft as the strands are looser, but after about 3 or 4 passes, it'll keep it's evenness and won't be twisted. I have woven about 100 dishcloths on a Harrisville Loom. I don't understand the purpose of having the warp go across the bottom pegs though...I don't do that and my woven items turn out just fine. Can you tell me why this is done? Doing this seems to leave more space between squares. Since I don't do it, my projects have less space between squares so they are thicker and sturdier.
Hmmm - I haven't thought of the warp on the bottom pegs. It has been a couple of months since I have made one of these, I will try it again, and see what I get! Thanks!
Im a beginning weaver and using your video as a tutorial for my first washcloth. You're using 2 strands. Are you using one ball of thread or 2? If using one, are you pulling from both ends? Im having a bard time wrapping my brain around how to use a cone of thread to make this project. Thanks for the great video! Im excited to get started.
Yes, I used two strands. I have used a cone before, I just estimated how much yarn I would need for the warp and made a ball of yarn from the cone with that amount, then used both together. It worked great. Have fun - let me know if you have any more questions!
do you think you could do this as a larger product , using cotton material instead of yarn? i have a almost 4 foot antique wooden crochet hook with a needle eye on the end. was wondering after watching this if they used to back in the depression use this for heavy rugs or blankets?
You get the twist when you are threading the first "warp" threads! Watch your own video and you will see that you are crossing the "down" run over the "up" run by moving it over to the left on the nail. Instead of moving to the left, just keep the threads strait down on the right side of the nail.
I don't get how you are keeping your yarn in double stands? Are you using 2 balls of yarn? I tried to follow the instructions but there's only one strand of yarn??
Individual squares make great potholders and washcloths. I have a video coming out in the next couple of weeks where I made a baby blanket using these. Turned out pretty cute!!
Your camera angle and explanation are confusing, at least to me. I watched you start the crochet stitch at least 10 times and also had my wife watch your method. Neither of us can figure what you are doing when you start the stitch process. Can you help?
Sorry I wasn't clear! Are you referring to when you do the finishing edge of the project, before you take if off of the loom? You are doing a single crochet, but you stick it through your project and draw up your yarn from the bottom side. If that isn't what you need help on, let me know!
I love weaving on a pin loom! Need to know how to build one - here ruclips.net/video/ZgtiwYdOO1E/видео.html

@@dross24MA tried, tested and true!
To avoid the twist, you simply have to twist your yarn before to put it on your nail. I tried it and it works.
That makes total sense! Thank you! Totally appreciate it!
The very best video I’ve seen in a long time. I wanted to do yarn on a loom. The explanation was pure and simple. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
That looks very pretty thank you for sharing👍🏽😎
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your experience!!!!! I feel very inspired by this. You make it very doable ❤
You are so welcome!

Thank you so much! This is so clear and easy to follow. I made my first pin loom and weaved my first Christmas placemat. Very fun like you said! 🌹❤️
Fantastic!! Glad you had fun!!
Thanks for the video. This is a nice simple project I can do with my grandkids 😍
You are so welcome!
I can't wait to make this one- I'll have Phil make me a frame and hook. Thank you!
Yay!! It is a fun fun project!!
Thanks for the weaving hook idea. It really worked!
Glad it helped!
Excellent Video!
Thank you 🏁
👍😀

Qu: i want to use my 12x12" pin loom to make a block square blanket so, how do u attach the squares?
Here is how I attached them to make a blanket ruclips.net/video/iO4-TIgMRXg/видео.htmlsi=61HI-nz3uHRMBv0A
What ply yarn are you using? I’m enjoying watching your video’s thank you for sharing them with us.
I am using the worsted weight cotton yarn - like the Sugar and Cream brand that you use for dish clothes.
Do you keep your yarn on the balls while weaving or how do you measure how much you will need?
I keep the yarn on the balls, I don't cut it.
Great tutorials! I have never weaved anything before so I am learning. My husband is going to make me some looms. Can rag strips be used on this loom?
If your nails were tall, you could probably use rag. This is a small loom that I use rags on ruclips.net/video/v996qBETzek/видео.html
To keep the strands from twisting, when you are warping, just keep the same strand on top as you warp. Same strand on top, same strand on the bottom.

@@DIYOnTheHouse approximate length for a 4", 7" and 10" loom?
Another qu, can i use 3,4,6,7 bulk yarn with this pin loom? 😊
Probably not. I would suggest using a larger loom for bulky yarn.
@@DIYOnTheHouse thank you 😊
do you think you could do this as a larger product , using cotton material instead of yarn? i have a almost 4 foot antique wooden crochet hook with a needle eye on the end. was wondering after watching this if they used to back in the depression use this for heavy rugs or blankets?
A 4 foot crochet hook sounds INCREDIBLE!! You can make a large loom out of a larger frame! Let me know if you try it!
oh and a 18by 18 loom takes about an hour and a half and one ball of wool
You get the twist when you are threading the first "warp" threads! Watch your own video and you will see that you are crossing the "down" run over the "up" run by moving it over to the left on the nail. Instead of moving to the left, just keep the threads strait down on the right side of the nail.
Interesting!
Do you have to do two strands of yarn or would you be able to do it with just one strand?
It would just be more flimsy with one strand - but it would sure work.
Made one with scrubbier yarn.
Wonderful!!
I noticed that you flipped the yarn while making your warp, instead of wrapping around
Is the yarn still attached to the ball the whole time?
Yes it is - until you do the edging.
😍
I don't get how you are keeping your yarn in double stands? Are you using 2 balls of yarn? I tried to follow the instructions but there's only one strand of yarn??
Yes, sorry for the confusion. I am using 2 balls of thread to make use strands at a time.
What size loom did you use in this video ...an 8X8?
This one is a 10x10 that Ross build from lumber. Here is a way to build the loom using art canvas ruclips.net/video/ZgtiwYdOO1E/видео.html
I'm having an issue with weaving in the tails that's not going to come undone.
Maybe try to weave back as well. Go one direction, and then weave back in the opposite direction. See if that helps.
it would be helpful to know how much yarn you're using to do this. Not knowing makes it impossible to follow.
Totally agree. It depends a ton on type of yarn, I didn't think to measure. Sorry about that.
@@DIYOnTheHouse can you answer here?
What size nails are on your loom
Ross has a video on how he made the loom ruclips.net/video/ZgtiwYdOO1E/видео.html l, let us know if you have more questions!
I have never seen wefting started at the top and downward
This way works for me.
But but, what do we use those little squares for???
Individual squares make great potholders and washcloths. I have a video coming out in the next couple of weeks where I made a baby blanket using these. Turned out pretty cute!!
How far apart are your nails?
We made a video on how to make the loom - this may help ruclips.net/video/ZgtiwYdOO1E/видео.html
@@DIYOnTheHouse I made my loom. I put the pegs 1/4 apart. I wanted it a tight weave.
