Rigid Heddle Loom Weaving - Dish/Tea Towels with Autumn Colors! Cotton Towels from a Loom 

The most beautiful tea towels I’ve ever seen! ❤

Those came out stunning! I enjoy the calming sense I get from spinning or watching people weave.

What an upbeat video. Love the towels, and your attitude. Thanks for sharing, and once again for the inspiration!

You have totally inspired me! And I'm so glad you have an Etsy shop new!!

I might have to finally warp my loom again after watching this. Dish towels are my favorite! And these are gorgeous!! Love the colors!

The towels are lovely. I am so jealous of that little cubby in which you stashed a wheel. What a great idea.

Love the color combinations. The size of the towels are great! As always I enjoyed your video.

You are so inspiring! I love those towels and I learn more and more watching your videos. Thanks for posting!

These are beautiful!! I only have a 24” Ashford and you are right, It’s the perfect size for dish towels. I don’t even need a stand. I sit at the couch and prop it up to the coffee table. You already know I am one of the people you inspired to start weaving and making towels!! It’s because you are such a great cheer leader, and you make us all believe we can do it!!! Thank you 😊

Hi Trish, Your dish towels are beautiful. A perfect fall accessory for the kitchen. Thanks for sharing your process.

Love these! I finally have a loom on the way. Cannot wait to use it.

I'm so impressed with your towels! I only started spinning eight months ago and I'm not a full on fiber geek yet, but seeing all the beautiful things that can be made is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing and you look amazing with your adorable shirt and beautiful hair :-D

I love your woven towels there so good and you really have inspired me so much this year thank you trish x

Those turned out beautifully! I love your weaving videos. I am hoping in a few years after we move into a bigger house, I can get a loom and start weaving! Right now, I hardly have room for my spinning, crocheting, and sewing stuff. Lol.

So pretty!!! Tea towels are my main reason to learn. ☺️

Those are gorgeous and I love the little one. You are amazing 🤩

Yay tartanesque! They look amazing!

I LOVE that odd number tip for neater selvedges! Makes total sense! I'm going to have to try that now. Thanks for the upload!

❤️crafting is so addicting no matter your desire!

Enjoy your videos very much. You are such a positive person. Learning a bunch!

I love these towels! So beautiful 😍 thank you

Another great weaving video. Thank you Trish, I will be doing some weaving on my new 32”Ashford using your warping board very soon. Thanks for all your help.

I have the towel bug too! Towels got me back into my weaving mojo and you were a big inspiration. Thank you and keep going.

They are beautiful!! Yes I want to try those!

These are awesome! The last 2 full size towels are my favorite!

Love the stripes, especially the last few with the plaid/tartan patterns.

You’re so much fun to watch. I’m learning a lot and hope to try my first dish towels soon. I’m an absolute newby! 😊

I've done one set of towels, but the colors were very safe: cream background with peach, green and brown stripes on either side. I love yours! My next set will have many more colors for sure. Thanks again for sharing. Gerry Ivkovich

I wanted a floor loom too but also lack the space. I ended up buying a 32” table loom and haven’t stopped weaving since May 😂.

I watched your videos and tried my first towels! They turned out amazing! Am so happy 😁 thank you!

They turned out beautifully!

Hi Trish, hope you're OK. Love, love those Towels, they are beautiful, the colours look almost Jewel like. I think you are "Super Talented ". I just love everything that you do, & everything about you. Take care & stay safe. Lots of love Jen xx 💖

The towels look great. I would never think to use those colors, well they’d clash with my kitchen. Fun to see the differences with weft changes.

Your dish towels turned out beautiful! 💕

You are a doll! I love your personality. Enjoying your videos!

Oh, Trish, you have to stop doing this! I already have more projects going than are good for me - now I reeeeaaaly want to weave towels. They are so beautiful!

I have been meaning to do towels for a long time and these have just kicked that urge into high gear. I'm so glad you mentioned your Etsy shop as a place to order the warping bar. Girlfriend was right on it and ordered one immediately! Thanks so much!

An extreme newb here! I think the color scheme would also be great for a bag! Especially the first one! I'm seeing things everywhere that I would like to weave!!!

I JUST got a 1930 Structo Artcraft 705 table top loom. I simply can not wait to get started weaving dish towels!!!

I just started weaving on a cricket. Loved your towels and your vibe.

Your tea towels are so beautiful. I have just ordered a 24” rigid heddle and these would be a good project to begin with 😊

ok. the pandemic has awakened something inside of me... i have jumped into the ocean that is fiber arts... youre one of a few people responsible for this awakening of the beast. i built a spinning wheel, and will now weave with my loom i have made from an old canvas frame. i REALLY want to try making a heddle and some holsters for them to make weaving easier...Thanks for the motivation!!!

I just got a leClerc floor loom from a family member that wasn’t using it. I’m so excited to do my first project that I’ve been digesting every RU-vid video I can find. Yours are my favorite. Your so cute, bubbly and funny. I love your sense of color. I’m goi g to make these towels as my first project. Thanks for the inspiration.

Your dish towels are lovely, I really like the colts of them! Weaving looks so fun, I’m hoping to try it at some point.

Nice!! 🤩 I really love that little one especially, I would totally use it for the same thing.

I don't weave but I have a few master weavers in my family and we always had woven dish towels growing up - so good

Your towels are so pretty. I made some a year or so ago but I might need some in fall colors.

Those are gorgeous!

Those towels are beautiful

I am so close to trying out weaving watching your videos. I love tea towels. And I love making things. This may just happen soon.

These turned out great Trish!

Love the colors, especially the gold. My floor loom and I are still in the "gettin' to know ya'" phase. I keep swearing I'm going to warp a new project but just like my sewing machine, she is gathering dust, lol.

Nice plaid towels! I like to turn the extra end cloth into cat toys for my kitties.

Omg so freakin' cool! 💕

Love that shirt! Thank you for showing how you fix the sagging.

Love your way of thinking/talking/videoing :D I am about to buy a rigid heddle loom, have not decided which one yet, but I am also planning on making dish towels! Great gifts. I am already making scarfs on a belt rigid heddle, but I want a real loom too. Easier to handle.

Beautiful towels

Some great tips! Thank you so much!

We’re not doing a family Thanksgiving here in Kentucky either. 😢 Just trying to stay safe and stop the spread. 💕

Hey guess what! I’m buying a loom cause of your videos! 😁🥰

I keep meaning to do towels, but I just love weaving scarfs so much. I'm sure I'll get onto it eventually. Also, your hair is looking particularly lovely in this video :)

Oh what a fab video ...again! I love your ‘Trish towels’ and I am planning to do some as soon as my new larger loom is finished (my husband is making it slowly🙄) . I make your ‘Trish cloths’ which I love and use all the time. These autumnal colours...wow! You are right, I think technically a tartan has to have a ‘pivot’ where the pattern repeats backwards (if that makes sense) and so maybe your tea towels are plaid...? I’m making it up ...but it could be right🤷🏼‍♀️😂😂😊Your videos are always 100% inspiring and I can’t wait to make my own tea towels🙏

I like the long pause after you said you plan on dying lol /s

I hope you had a chance to get a floor loom! If you have a local weaver’s guild, they may have classifieds where items from other members are for sale. I’ve seen some 45” floor looms for $800-$1,500. Anyway love your video! Happy weaving 😊 ❤

Thank you for sharing! I've been in two minds which size heddle loom to get, the 40 or 60cm, you've just helped me decide. I love the size of your towels and the colours, they're all so beautiful.

Just want to add, I have a feeling in regards to buying a floor loom, the first day weaving on it and the day you sell it will be relatively exciting!! Lol

Beautiful towels Trish my loom is empty so guess what I’ll be doing tomorrow. Stay safe

I have that shirt! Now I have to drag out my loom, lol. Can you tell that I am binging

Those are stunning! I'm still working on some on my Leclerc 4 shaft. I need to find the time to finish them!

Great video, thanks!

Thanks so much for this video! I love watching people weave! P.S I was watching this while making some rolags with som indigo dyed wool and sari silk.( my fingers where dark blue.😂😂)

Vitamin D. Yes. (D3 and K2). I love your towels and enthusiasm. You have me hooked on weaving and I bought the 24” RHL. It came with an 8 dent heddle.... still trying to sort out which cotton yarn works best with it. (Any advice is greatly appreciated) (srly). I ordered the warping bar on Sunday and seeing how you fixed the lagging warp threads made me go “YES!!!! Best purchase since the loom itself!” I ABSOLUTELY thank you for explaining how you warped all the holes and slots and no need for slaying ...... hoping to hear what thread you were using on these lovely towels. I am so glad you made the little bar towel and kept it!!! Yea! specs! 8/2. Got it. Thank you!

they look great, I wish mine would like yours

thanks for minimizing your Thanksgiving celebration, and sharing that.

Trish! You did such a good job! Keep em coming. 👏🏽Thanks for brightening my day and making me laugh (I’m so with you on quick drying dish towels, when they don’t it’s ugh 🤢) You inspired me to put a table loom on my Christmas list 😆 and I’m starting small with spinning and got a hand spindle. I’m already loving it so much I’m thinking I might need a wheel😳 any recommendations for someone with low mobility? Maybe something electric? Lastly I hope your November has started well and I can’t wait for your next video! Have a great weekend Trish! 🍁🍂🌞

I wish I could afford a loom like yours!!.... ❤️

The towels are beautiful! Where have I been..... I didnt know you opened an Etsy shop! Yay Also, I ordered a hackle from Pfibers, forgot if I told you. I think my husband can make me a diz. I am really getting into my spinning. And Santa is also bringing me a turkish spindle! I have fallen in the rabbit hole and I can't get up!

Your towels innovate innovate in so many ways. Have you done this = I want to direct you to antique Lodge Banners. Where a twisted fringe is added at the sides. Thanks for your awesome artistry !!

Hi Trish! Love them! So, if it is a fully balanced cloth then it is considered a plaid/check pattern even if it’s not symmetrical in color. A tartan on the other hand only refers to the association with a certain certified fabric associated with a certain clan and is woven in twill as well as it is symmetrical in color. -Kai

Thanks for statistics!

Great video as usual! Loved seeing your different outcomes. Can you believe that I've never been to the actual Great Northern Weaving store? Only purchased online. We should make a roadtrip together sometime when covid goes away!!! - Rachel

Aackk!!! How did I miss this until now? 😩 I love love love those towels, the colors are so pretty together! I think your designs are great and you make me want to get back to my loom but I’m so busy quilting right now! Christmas is right around the corner & I’m working on 5 quilts all at once 😳🥵. Thanks for the tip about fixing the sagging warp threads too! 👍🏻 Luther looked so fluffy, did he get a haircut? 🐶 Have a great week Trish!

I use my last bit of warp, too. If it turns out too short for anything else, I make reusable swiffer covers.

BEAR FIBER? More on that, please. Sagging warp! Love ya for that tip. That warping bar has saved my life. I needed this video. I warped my RHL with 8/2 cotton and got stuck. Derrr! Now what to do? One strand, two strands? Never tried it before, now I am inspired. I also need, NEED a 24" RHL for towels and a 10" for dishrags for my m-i-l. She eats them, I swear, one a week. Been diamond painting as no comfy chair for a lap loom on vacation. DO NOT start this hobby. I am now obsessed and heavily in debt. Stay creative!

Great! When doing several towels in one warp, how do you measure the lenght?

13:02 If you get another one of these, you could cut it in half, to make 2 square dish washing towels. 💖🌞🌵😷

I love fall colors, and need some more towels. I'm a pre-beginner. I've been curious about weaving for years. I finally decided to give it a try. I ordered an inkle loom. But I kept eyeing other looms. I gave in to temptation and ordered a Kromski 32" rigid heddle loom. It arrived yesterday. My inkle loom arrived earlier in the week. I haven't assembled either of them yet. So far I only have one cone of white and one cone of burgundy 5/2 cotton. I also have some ivory, eggplant, and red 8/4 cotton on their way as part of a tablet weaving kit from The Woolery. I've gotten carried away splurging on things, but now I need more fall color cottons. Did I mention I also have a DVD on backstrap weaving, and have been eyeing spinning wheels? There's something about the fiber arts that keeps trying to draw me in. I've done a little knitting. I've attempted to get started with nålebinding, but haven't gotten vary far. I was about to attempt piecing my first quilt block when I got sidetracked with weaving. RU-vid keeps trying to find more hobbies for me than I have time for.

I told you I would have a talk with the universe about the floor loom thing...she says 2021 is your year for the floor loom. So you better start making room

Hi, fellow Michigander! I’m on the sunrise side near Alpena. I started watching your videos last week as I really want to get going on my Ashford Knitter’s Loom. They are great videos! I am also looking at getting another loom as the one I have will only weave up to 12” wide and I want to make some of those tea towels....

'I'M PLANNING ON DYING.....a bunch of stuff' XD

I bought a 24” rigged Ashford loom and the Yoga yarn after watching your video on making tea towels awhile back. I am super excited about this new skill set(t), 😉. It’s been a year and both of my towels have been holding their color and integrity after frequent use and washings. Thank you!

Hi! Let me show up my loom! It folds up to not take much space and u can remove the center and add a new one to work on more the one project. Has lots of extras! So for me with my health issues I can weave. It’s a Saori WX60 folding loom.

I love them! I e been having a bit of a crafting block but I am determined that today I will get my loom warped! Could you not have just lashed on through the loops, or is there some reason that knots were needed? I’ve only lashed on a couple times so I’m sure there is something I’m missing.

I haven't tried loading that many towels on the loom...hmmmmm...how many inches was your warp? I love that you played so much, they look so different. You do a great job of telling us about them and what you did. I have fall colors too....I might have to warp the loom. Towels or bread bags...towels or bread bags.

You could consider a Saori loom. It folds down so small. 2 and 4 shaft options.

Btw. I report Covid data to HHS. You made the right decision. One year of a distant Thanksgiving is better than the guilt you may have if it goes wrong.

They are beautiful and I can't wait to get started. How long was your warp? I don't see an upload. Thank you for being you!!

Your dish towels are beautiful. I have just started weaving and I have so many questions. Did you hem the weave before you took it off the loom? I've been doing a hem stitch on the loom and its not looking correct.

Can you explain the stringing? I've always tied on and it looks like string would be better.

Hi Trish, I have been subscribed and watching your channel for a while. Thank you for your content, help and advice. I am thinking of getting a loom but know nothing about weaving. What size loom to get, and how do you get the tea towels out of that big piece of fabric? Do you cut it and then hem it? I dye fibre, knit, crochet, spin, sew and machine embroider. Time to learn something new. Again thank you for your wonderful content. ❤
