Weaving Stash Buster Kitchen Towels on my Rigid Heddle Loom

- In this video, I'm weaving some stash buster dishtowels on my rigid heddle loom. I'm making those kitchen towels with all the 8/2 cotton yarn that I had left in my stash. Somehow, all of the colors just matched so well together! I came up with a pattern that worked for those colors, but that could also work for many color combinations. #weaving #rigidheddle #loom

THE YARN
For the warp, I’m using 8/2 cotton from Maurice Brassard. They are all available through The Woolery's website : woolery.com/ma...
Here are the exact color names:
-Naturel (LEC-Y100)
-Olive Foncé (dark olive) (LEC-Y8266)

-Sierra (brown) (LEC-Y1391)
-Jeans (navy blue) (LEC-Y4271)

For the weft of the first towel, I'm using Cotton Slub in the color "Naturel" (LEC-SL600) from Maurice Brassard. Here's the link where you can get it: woolery.com/co...
MY LOOM
In the video, you can see my Ashford rigid heddle loom. Its width is 32" (80cm) and I love it! If you are in the US and looking for the same loom, The Woolery has it! Here's their website: woolery.com/as...

Can we also just appreciate that beautiful huge cactus in the background 😍
YES! 🌵 I'm so happy someone noticed! It's blossoming so nicely, like it knows its on camera 😅
I have a 30" Schacht Flip. I got the Ashford 15 dent and had a friend cut the ends down. Took him about 5 whole minutes in his shop because he sanded it too! I just got done with the Christmas pattern and the 8/2 Bressard washed up soft and it feels right. Thanks.
That's great! I didn't know it was possible to convert Ashford's heddles for Schacht looms. That's actually very smart 😊 and I'm glad you enjoyed the Christmas towels 🥰
You are my lifesaver! I've been wanting to start doing towels for Christmas gifts - looking forward to your next tutorials! I'm definitely glad that you are continuing to do rigid heddle videos - I'm not ready for floor and/or table looms yet but hope to, some day. Thank you!
I'm so glad that this video was helpful 😊 I was happy to be back at my rigid heddle loom too! I love my other looms, but this loom has a special place in my heart. Maybe because it's so easy to use!
Toll, dass du auch Deutsch kannst! Die Küchentücher werden sehr schön, du hast immer so gute Ideen. Ich nehme für 8/2 Garn 20 epi. Die Idee, die Schiffchen halb halb zu wickeln, ist super. Da bin ich noch nicht drauf gekommen, ein Grund, diesen Kanal zu schauen. Es gibt immer gute Tipps. Viele Grüsse aus Deutschland 👋
Vielen Dank 🥰 Ich freue mich sehr, dass es hilfreich war! Viele Grüsse aus Kanada 😊
I just got my first loom and found your videos.
You are so adorable and I can listen to you for hours which is just a bonus for all the wonderful information you’re providing
Aww thank you 🥰 this warms my heart!
Thank you for always going the extra mile with explaining. I am on my second project ever but was researching how to weave some towels
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰
Your towels are lovely! I am on my first month of weaving and am excited to get another heddle next year so I can make beautiful pieces with fingering weight yarns next :) you're such an inspiration
That's great 😄I'm glad that you are enjoying weaving! You will have tons of fun projects ahead of you with your new heddle 😊
This was such a helpful video, thank you! I’ve been really wanting to use 8/2 yarn on my rigid heddle without doubling the warp and couldn’t figure out why they didn’t make reeds beyond 12.5 for my Beka loom. Going to try to adapt the 15 dent ashford reed!
You are welcome! 😄 Oh that sounds interesting! I'd love to know if it works out 😊
Hi from Australia. I’m waiting on my new loom, an early Christmas present. Thanks for the helpful videos 💕
Hi from Canada 😄 That's awesome! I wish you lot's of fun with you new loom ☺
Another beautiful piece 😍 👏👏💟
Thank you so much Amira 🥰
I've ordered my cotton, just waiting on my higher dent heddles.. but thanks for doing dish towels, as a beginner I'm thinking I want to start with these, so I'm looking forward to it.. keep up the great videos..
Awesome! I wish you good luck with your first towels 😊
Really enjoy your videos and designs. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much 🥰
Nice work! Pretty patterns too. 🙂
Thank you 🥰
I noticed the weaving looks different at the end of the first towel, how did you do that and why? Also, in someone else's video I've watched in order to get the selvedge edge nice they use the eye on the right end of the heddle, do you find this to help and what do you do if your pattern has you end on the slot? My RH is in the box still because I won't allow myself to start it until I finish a quilt I've been working on. I can't wait to start on it. I agree with you about thinner towels, they dry faster! Really like your videos, you're funny!! It's a little hard to understand you sometimes when you talk fast but your english is doing pretty good!! I hope you continue on with Rigid Heddle videos, so many people have them and a lot of us don't have space for floor looms unless we boot the hubby to the curb...LOL!
Hi! I'll try to answer all of your questions 😊 First, you are right, the end of the first towel is different. It's because I wove a few picks of scrap yarn at the end of it. This helps me seperate my different towels. This will be completely cut off then I will be doing the hemming of the towels
Now, I'll try to answer your question about the end in the eye of the heddle. It's not something that I do, but it probably does help a lot in achieving neat selvedges. Is it possible that the weaver in the video had the first end on the left and the last end on the right in an eye of the of the heddle? Often, we tend to have better selvedges when the selvedge warp thread is in an eye. But, when we direct warp, we pull loops and the threads always come in pair. This means that normally, we would need to have one of the two threads in a slot and one in a hole. But, many weavers prefer having selvedge warp threads in eye and they find ways around it 😁
I wish you good luck on finishing your quilt 😊 My mom is also a quilter and I'm amazed at how much love and effort she puts in her quilts.
HAHAH! I dont think husbands would like that 😂
@@Curly_n_Yarny Hi again Mylena!! Thank you so much for answering all my questions!! I'm sorry I had so many, I should have asked the other weaver about the selvedges and eyes instead of you since thats not what this video covered. I think the other video she cut the slot warp thread on the right side of the loom but not the left. I haven't woven anything yet but I think the left behaves better maybe?? Anyway, just wanted your opinion on that really. You obviously are a very good weaver so you don't have to do that. So happy your mom quilts, yes, a lot goes into quilting but mostly love of the receiver. I feel this to be true of anything we make for someone, just as we did as children making mud pies covered in dandelions for our moms. Unfortunately this will be my last quilt as I can't manage free motion quilting any longer on my machine and can't bring myself to pay for someone else to quilt it. So now I will create beautiful scarves and blankets with Mylena's help :-)
There is no problem at all! I'm glad to be able to help 😄 Concerning the selvedges, the logic would be that if the last thread on the right was a slot thread, then the first one on the left would be an eye thread. When we direct warp, we pull loops out of the heddle which creates 2 threads. Then we leave one thread in the slot and we put the other in a eye next to the slot. It doesn't matter if we put it in the left or the right eye, as long as we are consistant all the way through! Then, the weaver in the video probably wanted to have the selvedge threads in two eyes, so they cut the last thread that should have been in a slot. Then, they would have an odd number of warp threads, and nice selvedges!
And you are too kind hahah my selvedges are rarely perfect! I just have never felt the need to try this smart technique!
I'm sorry for you sewing machine. This last quilt should be very cherrished 🥰
@@Curly_n_Yarny Thank you Mylena, Merry Christmas !!
Merry Christmas to you too 😊
Just out of curiosity, how come you buy your thread from Woolery, which is in the United States, but yet the thread comes from the manufacturer in Quebec, where you are I order from them directly they’re terrific to deal with?
That's a really good question! I happen to leave about 1h away from Maurice Brassard's manufacturing plant. This means that I have the chance to buy directly from them there. I understand that not that many people have this chance!
I know that they offer to sell yarn online and to ship the orders. However, nothing on their website is user friendly nor suitable for online shopping. It can be challenging to place an order directly from them. Also, they do not offer discount on shipping prices, and those add up quickly. The bigger the order, the bigger the shipping cost. I believe that they prefer dealing with resellers. In many cases, it is more advantageous to buy from the resellers too.
I know about a few resellers in North America, but I have not yet found a reseller other than the Woolery that holds ALL of Maurice Brassard yarns. Many offer only a small selection. I love the Woolery for their comprehensive selection of yarns and accessories. It's a good one stop that offers it all.
Also, more than half of my viewers are located in the United State and I'm glad to be able to offer them this option!
from Gerry- I use 8/4 cotton on a 12 dent heddle. Blessings.
Awesome! How do you like them?
Hi I just wonder how you know you reached the end of 1st towel. You mark it before?
Hi! To answer you, I've been doing this in two different ways. I'll explain both and you could pick which one makes the more sense to you! The idea is simply to keep track of the length of fabric that I have woven
1. I use a measuring tape like the one used in sewing. Although my preffered choice is the paper tape that IKEA gives out for free. I pin the tape to the beginning of the project and I continue pinning it as I go. I just need to look at the tape to know where I'm at.
2. The second way is to use a measuring tape and masking tape. Instead of pinning the measuring tape on the project, I use the masking tape. In other words, I write down on the masking tape how much I have woven and I stick it on the project. As I progress in my weaving, I keep measuring and writing down on the masking tape. And of course I advance the tape accordingly.
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions 😊
@@Curly_n_Yarny thank you, that is just the answer i need. Love to watch your projects on youtube. There very helpful
Thank you! I'm so glad to know that they could help!
Question: can use that same yarn to warp and also to weft?
Yes! In this project, I'm using 8/2 cotton for the warp. It can also be used in the weft. This is actually the yarn that I used for the weft of the second towel 😊
