I am soooooo happy the video helped you, Marian! I agree! When I first started it was all so easy until I came to the turn. I would always over-think it! Hoping you'll stay in touch!
I am a beginner weaver and looked at several videos to learn how to do the actual weaving. Yours was the only one that made sense ("right over left and under"). Now I can use my new loom Thank you!
Thank you so much for this fabulous video! Especially the close ups. I have three rag rug looms that I purchesed at a fibre festival 5 years ago. I could never figure out the turns and was ready to give them away until I discovered your videos. Am now happily weaving away!
This just absolutely MADE MY DAY!! Thank you so much for reaching out & reminding me how important it is to share knowledge about rug making! Keeping this amazing craft going strong!!
I agree that twine weaving is the easiest method of rug making. Goes very fast too. You did a great job of explaining and showed clearly how to execute the turn.
Thank you so very much for another great video, along with the closeups and you explaining what your doing sure is making me understand the concept of twinning🥰
Hey Lora thanks so much I clicked the link to go to your other video as I’ve not seen twine weaving before but it took me to you toothbrush needle rug video part 1. I will go hunt your channel but thought I’d let you know x
Oh WOW! THank you Donna for calling that to my attention! I would never have known otherwise! I've corrected the link now! Here it is! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hephadakUZI.html
Hello & happy Sunday to you! Thank you for reaching out & for your interest in our rods! YESSS! We sure do sell the steel rods! Here's a link to them on our website! Please let me know if you have any issues ordering! And keep in mind we also sell the DIY instructions to build your frame as well as all the hardware! (Lots of options!) ragstorugs-bylora.com/SHOP.php?category=18
Can I ask how far apart your nails are? Also, I’ve watched another RU-vid video where she weaved under two warps. You weave under one. What is the difference?
So happy you reached out Debby! We recommend 1" apart , 1/2" from the screw. You can get instructions to build your own frames at our website. (link below!) They are REALLY good, with excellent full color photos, professionally printed & includes a shopping list for the hardware you'll need. (Just give it to an associate at your hardware store & they can fix you up in no time! (Saves time AND $$) Ohhh!! We also sell the steel rods! There is no difference to one or two warps. More a matter of preference! When I teach young children, I will generally use 2 warps. It's easier for little hands, then to go every other one. Here's that link! >> ragstorugs-bylora.com/SHOP.php?category=18
Hello, Elaine! In my hurry, I didn't pull it in tight against the rod. I always make sure the second warp/weft is inline as it tends to pull toward the center of your rug. The same for the second to last on the RIGHT side of your rug! Something to be attentive to! Another thing I failed to suggest! When I am "making the turn", I will twist a couple times the "around the warp" fabric strip! A little trick I use to make those edges cleaner when taking off the frame! And of course! Remember to never end a row with a connection! Trim back the strip if necessary! Ending with a connection will weaken the rug & increase the likelihood of it falling apart down the road!
