Hi Jenell hope you're all OK. I was just wondering what the actual weaving dimensions are on this loom. I already have a loom that would allow me to do this. Thankyou so much for everything you do. I really appreciate you giving your ideas . Keep weaving,keep smiling,keep safe and well. Lots of love to you and Cody and big hugs to your pets. Jen xxxx
Welcome here! Yes I have lots of beginner tutorials, this one is a great 3 Part series to start with here is Part 1: ruclips.net/video/e2cjwNjYeFY/видео.html I also sell a weaving kit with everything (except scissors) you need to follow this 3 Part series, you can find the kit here and it comes in a few different colour palettes: www.etsy.com/ca/shop/SpruceAndLinen?ref=search_shop_redirect§ion_id=28192296
Thank you so much for this video and all the others -- they are extremely valuable tools for beginners like myself. Question: do you find it best to have a row or two of twining on top of and below the plain weave when using the negative space in this way? I just tried this technique on a sampler and when I took it off the loom, I noticed the bottom row of the plain weave (closest to the warp strings stitched together) seemed to be coming loose.
While I've not seen anyone do it the way you did, the technique is called Brook's Bouquet. FYI. The tying of short lengths of yarn into a Bouquet is completely new to me. Thanks for sharing, I think I'll try the second method, because try as I may, I CAN'T get the first method to NOT draw the sides in!
Brook's Bouquet is usually slightly different than this, but it is essentially the same thing. There are many different styles and techniques within "open weave"(term used in an older weaving book I have), but I like that the term open weave is a little more straight forward. Mine is definitely drawing in at the sides in both methods, I think that's just the nature of it since your grouping warp strings, the weaving above and below where you're working in this stitch should prevent the piece from sucking in in other areas.
Awesome! So simple and very impactful x

Little tip - just tape the end of your string onto the side of frame when starting to save it coming loose at the start.
Great idea!
Hi! I love this channel! I am new to weaving. Do you have tutorials for beginners?

Yes, absolutely, that or a hemstitch above and below. I definitely should've mentioned that in this video!
