Have you ever seen a piece of woven cloth somewhere and thought to yourself, "I wonder how that was made?". Weaving drafts are the backbone of any weaving project. They're how you program your loom to weave the design that you want. In this video, I'll walk you through the basics of reading a weaving draft so that you can begin your journey to weaving the fabric of your dreams.

Girl, you REALLY need to make more videos. You are an excellent teacher! I bought a loom, have it threaded, but it has sat there 2 years because I’m afraid. I’m going to give it a go. I’ve watched so many videos on how to read a draft. Yours is by for better than any other video I have seen. Please, please, consider making videos on how to actually weave.

Hi!! Thank you so much for your encouragement. I do really want to get back into making videos, but I feel out of practice and kind of afraid to start again. Isn't that silly? Is there anything specific that's intimidating you about weaving? I feel like winding the warp and threading is the hardest part! I'd love to hear what you need help with so I can be further motivated to make more videos. Wishing you all the best!

I am a rigid heddle weaver, and have been struggling to understand how to translate 3 and 4 shaft patterns to my loom, using extra heddles/pickup sticks. Lots of videos showing people weaving this way, and how to warp for that specific pattern. Also video explanations of drafts that don't look like the drafts I am finding in books and online. Your video was EXACTLY what I have been needing! Now I can translate any pattern myself. Thank you!!!

In swedish drafts, the first shaft is the one furthest away from you!

So when I actually start to weave I start. at the bottom of the trendling chart and when I get to the top I start over at. the bottom? Is that correct? Thank you

Exactly right! On the loom, you're weaving the cloth from bottom up, so that's the way you need to read the treading chart.
