Yay! I too have watched a bunch of videos on tying a weaver’s knot but am not yet proficient. Your explanation is great and now I just have to do it a couple of hundred times to get it down. ☺️ thanks for this video, as always.
This video really explains the tie on process very well. You do a great job with your videos. Which kind of loom is this you are working from? I love your prayer shawls too. Liked seeing your weaver's knot
They used to make knitting tools I can imagine they being useful. However. I always thought that doing all those knots would be nearly as much work as threading and slaying it all again.
Andy you made amazing fabric as always. I never knew there was such thing as a weaver's knot, thanks for introducing it to me. Would you recommend it as a knot to use when having a broken thread, is it self tightening?
@@curmudgeon66 Thank you. How tight do you keep your loom tension and how hard do you beat? I have a tonne of sock yarn that I would like to use for weaving. I have only used 8/2 weaving yarns and want to give prayer shawls a try. TIA.
@@ksisu1324 - this is hard to quantify, I do two things. 1st I use my hands and feel the tension in the warp threads, When they feel right that is what I use. 2nd I have a Louet Spring loom with the moveable breast beam, when the bottom legs of the breast beam are vertical that is usually about the best tension for my weaving. I have a fairly firm beat, I can force myself to beat gently, but normally I have a firm beat.
While some religions (such as Judaism) do use a shawl-like garment while praying, these "prayer shawls" get their name from the idea that while the shawl is being made, the maker prays for the (usually unknown) recipient.
It took me a while to figure out which longer thread to pull. I probably practiced with scrap yarn a couple dozen times before I tied on the first warp thread
Just another way of doing the weaver's knot (to me a bit easier) if you put the moving thread above the stationary one as shown here: ruclips.net/video/XsqSilAGhPg/видео.html
Thank you! I did it, I tied my first weavers knot !!
Fantastically wondermous!
Thank you so much for showing how to tie on a new warp, I had been so confused but you did a great job!

The yarn coming over the top of the loom with the S hook to hold the cross is genius!
Your videos are great . I'm so glad you are there to share your knowledge and experience.
I love all four of them what a great work thank you. AND if you don't like anyone!? just give one to me 😉.
Well done sir? Beautiful work as always. My fave,... #3😊
My favorite is #4!! Thanks for the video.
Trying this tie on right now, great video, Thank You
Love all the stuff you make ❤️🙏
Enjoyed watching and learning from you.
I love the colors of the shawl.
Love this idea ❤

For a broken warp thread, yes it is a good knot. You initially tighten it, and the tension keeps it tight.
Good to know, thanks.
Do you ever teach weaving in a class setting or individually? Love your videos. Very clear instructions.
I taught one class a couple years ago at Heritage Hill State Park, it was an Inkle weaving class.
Thanks for the tutorial on the weaver's knot.
( RUclips stopped putting political adds on my viewings.)
That is really cool looking variagated yarn. Is this knitting yarn?
I think it could be a knitting yarn, but I don't know how to knit, so I am not 100% sure.

@@curmudgeon66 Thank you for the info! I have the Louet David 3 and I am learning to weave all over again, having upgraded from a Leclerc Artisant.
We don t have prayer shawls in my church. When are they used? During service? I am curious.
After being blessed by a priest they are given away to any parishioners who are in nursing homes, long term care facilities, or long term home care.
@@curmudgeon66 Nice idea!

I wish you would have said if you would use this tying on to old warp method again.
I have struggled with the weavers knot, after watching you I realise that I was pulling the wrong thread and failing to make the knot at all….
