You're my favorite teacher, Beautiful Kandye! 💯🏆🌟✨ This was such a fun afternoon treat! Thank you for your kindness & friendship! We are better people for knowing you! The little ones at your church are so blessed to have you as their teacher! 💛🙏🙌💛
My daughter belongs to a spinning guild and is learning the lost arts of the cottage industry of wool to garment. She has acquired a loom that I would love to learn to make rugs and table runners. Thank you for sharing history and biblical facts with us. God Bless you ❤😊❤
One of my favorite teaching videos I have ever watched!! I love coverlets and the history of them !! Also love how you tied the Bible in with your teachings !! I never knew about it !! I have two antique coverlets and yes scratchy !! I grew up in a cotton mill village and know about child labor !! My mother went to work there to help support family when her daddy died. She would come home from work and play in her playhouse she made from things found in the dump!! She was short so had to stand on a box to reach her machine !
I have had some rough times in recent weeks. This was really soothing Kandye... Reminded me of the couple of days I spent at Weaver's Cottage in Kilbarchan 🏴 many years ago; learning to thread up the old looms. It was back breaking work ....But I found the place so peaceful. Years later (2020-2021) I did an HND in textiles and as part of it, learned to weave on smaller and desktop looms. I need to get my head together and get back to creating.
I always love to hear someone talking about weaving! Hadn't heard that explanation about linen and wool not being used together, that makes perfect sense. The geometric patterns you showed were most often the weaving structures called overshot or summer and winter, I've woven a bit of both. I've got a big 48" wide floor loom and a small table loom I haven't used in ages, and was thinking about doing some small projects on the table loom again, but weaving yarn prices have gone through the roof now, I don't know if I can afford them. Years ago I found an old summer and winter woven coverlet at a yard sale for $20 but it's in rough shape - I've considered turning it into pillows or runners, working around the really worn places. Sorry for the ramble, I was a weaving major in college, lol. Thanks for your video!
I was thrilled when I saw you did a video on coverlets. I finally was able to watch it and it was excellent! Thank you so much! If you ever come to PA, you need to stop in Bedford. There’s so many historical spots in Bedford, PA, and one quite unique place is The National Museum of the American Coverlet. It is fantastic to visit! I think you’d really enjoy it. 😊 -Melissa
I loved this little tutorial about antique coverlets! I have a little pillow crafted from an old tattered coverlet and now I know it’s Linsey-Woolsy thanks to you! ❤️I’ve also been wanting to reread Little House in the Big Woods where I’m pretty sure I first heard that term! Reading the Little House books as a little girl set me on my journey of loving primitives!❤
Kandye, you are so knowledgeable about these historical things, I always learn so much listening to you. Loved this segment, thank you so much for sharing this with us.
You are a knowledgeable person. I learn something from you on each and every video. I love how you manage to insert biblical knowledge in each video. What a blessing you are❤
Thank you for sharing info, I'm blessed to live near Red Lion, Pa., have been collecting fHW cover lets for many years now. At one time you could tour the building that David made the coverlets, you have some nice pcs. 🐑🐑🐑🐑
Greetings from Montana, Kandye 😊👋❤🇺🇸 it was wonderful to see you this evening and nice to see you in your historic clothing! Those coverlets are simply beautiful ❤ have a blessed and beautiful weekend!! ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸🙏😇
Good to see you Kandye! I love watching loomers at old reenactment places, I could watch them all day. The way they flip the strings and throw the shuttle accross...fascinates me.
I love your oldy even with it's holes and tears - all so beautiful. Linsey/woolsey is an amazing weave with great texture 💕 I did not know that about it not being for "common-folk."
My mom was a silk weaver in the embroidery industry in Union City, NJ. She said it was hard work and she loved it. Most of them were women doing the work.
Thank you Kandye! The coverlets are beautiful and I loved the historical lessons. It’s so awesome that you included biblical facts as well as the other historical facts. Remember Jesus loves you and so do I. God’s blessings! ❤️🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks, Kandye! Those coverlets are beautiful. They have weavers making those at Greenfield Village near me and they amaze me. I love to see the different machines and how they work. It truly was a labor of love. Be blessed! xoxo
This was great, Kandye! So interesting! I really liked hearing the part about Leviticus. Anyway, thanks for the share! Have a great weekend! Hugs and God bless! Sue ❤😊
Hi Kandye! I enjoyed this video very much, you are such a wealth of information! I love learning about early American crafts. I have one on the way, they are so pretty!
The ephod is sacred and yes, no one else should copy it. Same with the incense. Not to be used for common use. A distinction of Sacred/Holy vs common. I like how you tied that in. Thanks for sharing about those coverlets. Beautiful examples. Here's a fabric tip. Jacquard starts like shj shj sound. ( think French) sounds like shja-card 😊 kinda like Jaques 😊
Kandye this is a great video. I have woven a couple of things in my past and I enjoyed this. Thanks so much! I've been sick this week and watching you tonight perked me up. God bless.
Very interesting and informative! I always wondered about the mixing of fabrics, in Leviticus. Thank you for unraveling (pun intended) the mystery. Hubby and I are mending. Thank you for your prayers. God bless you and your house.❤
❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING AND SHARING THIS VIDEO❤ IT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED❤ IT'S NICE SEEING YOU BACK❤ THIS BEEN VERY EDUCATIONAL❤ YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF❤ KEEPSAFE❤
Very interesting history, I am fortunate enough to have a couple antique coverlets and I am very interested in learning to use a loom. I saw one sell about a year ago for very little money but I didn’t have a whole room to put it in and didn’t have any idea how to thread it or use it. But I still have a great interest.
@@cabincrafts2239 Hi Kandye, My husband and I would like to order the cocoa mint tea and maybe another time the cranberry one too.The kids had it on their channel. Should I go to the website Kandye?
Hi Kandye, I really enjoy watching you talk about history. There is a biblical explanation as to why you can't mix linen and wool. In the Midrash, which is part of the talmud, it talks about Abel who kept sheep, and Cain, who tilled the land. Because these two fought, it was considered unwise to wear the wool and linen together. The word in Hebrew is Sha'atnez. There are still many people in the Jewish community who do not wear these two fibers together and there are places you can go to check if your suit or garment has it. Most men and women in my community go to special stores where they probably would have someone there who has already made sure that they're not selling anything that is against Jewish law.
@@cabincrafts2239 Hi Kandye, I'm Jewish and live in Brooklyn NY. There are several large Jewish communities in my area, I live in one of them. I'm not that observant, but my husband is. Jewish law is fascinating, there are people who are one one end that follow the laws very rigidly and those who are very lenient and everyone in-between. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If I don't know the answer I can always ask my husband.
@@cabincrafts2239 Thank you. That means a lot. I know many people who have family and friends over there and thankfully all those I've spoken to say that everyone is safe.
I always have wondered why that old Jewish law was in Leviticus about mixing fibers! Thank you for sharing that. And my grandmother who was born in 1903 had the most beautiful old coverlets on her bed. I unfortunately can’t have one because I have a cat who is a jerk and he would snag it to pieces 😂 only non kneadable fabrics on my bed for now. Maybe someday!
No, lol! Most coverlets were made by home weavers and many patterns were available at the time. The most popular colors were indigo blue, natural undyed and madder for the red, most of them that I have in my collection are indigo blue and natural.
