I went to your site and I love the reason why you chose the colors: The teal is the predominant color and I chose it because it reminds me of pale green leaves blossoming in maple trees. The blue is for the bring blue spring sky and the old gold reminds me of daffodils. Finally, the brown is for the mother earth coming back to life.
I just started to follow you. I really enjoy your enthusiasm!! I am a beginner from Calgary Alberta. Just bought a 32" and I am going to wax it today. Thank you
Merci! Such a beautiful scarf pattern and texture. I really enjoyed this journey with you. I have rediscovered my love of tencel fiber. Many wishes for your continued success!
Looks great, I love the muted colors! I got an antique mini loom from a thrift store recently and watching your videos has helped build up my confidence to start... not quite there yet but hopefully soon!
Beautiful scarf! I’m excited to start weaving. However I think I should start with something easier for my first project. Thank you for this tutorial. :-)
@@SherrisPlace That's a huge question hahaha! There are so many different fibers that give different effects. I don't think that I would have enough of 1 video to cover it all. Also, there is a lot of personal preferences that comes into choosing fibers. I believe that trying different fibers out is the best to know which fibers you prefer and for which type of projects. On the top of my head, I would recommend wool for warmth.
Hi! Thanks a lot for tour sharing, this is a very beautiful scarf. I was just wondering what is really changing with the double warp. I am trying to increase the density of the warp so it seemed perfect but I fear it will change the weaving structure… can you still do plain weave ? I am sorry I am really a beginner and it would be so great if you could help me ! Thanks in advance and for your videos once again ❤
Thank you! To answer you, when I double the threads, I increase the density of the warp. This is still considered plain weave. You will notice that the weft thread goes over and under two strands of warp. This will have a different look than if the warp was single. I believe it's a question of taste. Myself, I like it very much, especially with the specs of this project. I think that the best thing would be to try it out and see for yourself if you like it 😊
When you double warp, do you still weave normally? The second thread doesn’t create bulk? (I’m a knitter so to me doubling yarn means doubling thickness). Thank you for your lovely free videos!
Thank you for your comment ♥️To answer you, the second thread creates more thickness in the warp, but it does not create unnecessary bulk. Both threads are under tension and they move/behave together in the heddle. Also, the size of the heddle's holes and slots is big enough to hold two threads of 8/2 yarn, so no bulk is created. I hope this helps!
Ça fait combien de temps que vous faites du tissage ? Vos vidéos sont super, je viens d'avoir mon métier. Il ne me reste plus que les fils pour commencer !
Merci pour vos vidéos. Je lis que le Tencel ne supporte pas trop de tension et de frottement. Avez-vous eu de mauvaises expériences avec ce fil ? Est-il bien différent du coton côté tension ? Avez-vous des conseils ? Merci
Boujour Josée! De mon côté, je n'ai encore jamais eu de problèmes avec le Tencel😊 Par contre, j'ai une collègue de classe qui a eu une mauvaise expérience, où ses fils cassaient. On croit que c'est parce que l'atelier de tissage était très sec et que le Tencel préfère l'humidité. Du côté tension, j'ai trouvé qu'il était similaire au coton 😁 J'espère que cela vous aide!
Hi! I simply hand washed the scarf in cool water with a bit of soap. Then I let it air dry flat. To be honest, I don't know if that's the best way to finish Tencel, but it worked well for me 😊
Bonjour! Lorsque j'ai commencé à faire des vidéos, j'ai réfléchi longtemps à la langue que j'allais utiliser. J'ai finalement tranché pour l'anglais, car cela me permettait de rejoindre plus de gens. Par contre, je considère encore l'option de faire des vidéos en français et je suis contente de constater, grâce votre commentaire, que cela serait apprécié ☺️ Merci!
Oui je parle français! Pour le moment, je me concentre sur les vidéos en anglais. Par contre, je compte éventuellement faire des vidéos en français sur les thèmes importants tels que le montage du métier à tisser 😊
Are there any Canadian sites/mills that you would be able to recommend for quality fibres and prices? Fibres like you use? Shopping across the border is so cost prohibitive for us as Canadians. It’s expensive enough to live in British Columbia , lol. 🥲 Merci
For quality fibres, I usually buy Maurice Brassard yarn. They offer a wide range of color and fibers. It's possible to buy directly from them, but it's a little complicated. They have distributors around the country. I love the company Gather Textiles, which is located in Alberta. Here's their website gathertextiles.com/ they also hold other quality yarns. I hope this helps!
