Weaving on the SampleIt Loom 

This is the highest level of DIY.

The setting up sounds overwhelming but the more I watch, the more I realize how much fun this could be. I'm becoming enamored with yarn crafts. Crocheting was first, then I wanted to start looming but that wasn't much of my thing, now I'm learning to knit which I love. Hopefully I can try this someday.

When I was a kid.... I am 42 now.. My grandmum had a loom which was huge and I had so much fun working on it.

im happy to see this because here in indonesia, young people right now didnt really know how to weave or we called it "tenun", maybe because it used to be so big and heavy and traditional and difficult and so traditional (old culture). but i see that the basic is actually really simple and easy and make me want to tenun my own scarf. if you are curious about indonesian waeving, just googling Indonesian tenun :D . Thankyou for sharing this and sorry for my bad english.

I am once thankful for the random videos that pop up in my feed I had bought a brand new loom like this from good it's a year 95or 93 model and it still has all of the original pieces including the yarn

I'm from the south. My poor ancestors made their own clothing this very way. They cherished pieces of manufactured cloth so much that they saved bags of scraps from which to make quilts. I always wondered what it would be like to make clothing from cotton I had grown myself. You answered that question. Thank you!

"but because i'm here by my self..." don't worry lady from the internet, we all are :(

You just convinced me to buy this. I have. 32" Ashford but am looking for something small and portable I can take to work and I think this is it

Just bought one of these and it's brilliant. It's not just Kate who can warp it up in twenty minutes, I actually managed the same and it was only my second warp ever (the first took me about 4 hours on a bigger and less-quality loom). I love love love this loom!

My first time stopping and checking this video out. What an incredible beautiful scarf you made here. This has peaked my curiosity into learning how to do this. I already crochet and I love yarn. Thank you so much for the tutorial.

Thankyou so much. After watching "many" videos on how to warp a loom with a heddle bar. Your's is the first that made sense, had clear instructions that I could follow, no distracting music or words written on the screen to try and read and watch what you are doing at the same time. Most importantly I could see what you where doing. After many failed attempts I was about to give up, just from pure frustration then I found your video. I can't thankyou enough. 😊🌻

I just tried to start learning for monday's exam. I don't know what im doing here. I dont even have saplmelt loom. I didn't even understand this video.

I love to learn .. I made my own loom from a old patio table so I started looking for lap loom ideas... then came across this beautiful little 10 inch rigid heddle weaving loom and i was like hooked. So.. I kept watching a learning and at the same time saving to buy this one The Ashford Samplelt Rigid Heddle 10 inch weaving loom. Today after 3 months of saving $$ I found this one on Esty.. and I purchased it today...free shipping and no taxes.. I am so excited to start a new venture in rigid heddle loom.. weaving..later i can purchase a stand and a extra heddle.. I also purchase a book that has lots of ideas on rigid heddle looming weaving patterns. The price is amazingly low.. I know how expensive a large Rigid Heddle Loom can cost... but for starters this has lot for the price and that is just fine for me.

im a 15 year old guy why was this so fucking entertaining

Thank you this was very helpful! You're the first person I've seen who has taken the weave off the loom at the end and shown how to tie it off as well so that is much appreciated.

I am new to weaving and can assure you it takes time and patience. I have an Ashford loom and I find it is of good quality. This video is as simple and clear as it get

"you can ask for a friend.....but because I'm here by myself" mee☹😭

That was wonderful, and your nail polish matched the yarn you were working with beautifully. :o)

that's beautiful...I remember my aunty Maria, in Greece many years ago, had a huge weaving machine and spinning wheel. She spun wool and made blankets and other fabrics, quite amazing, a dying art, which is being brought back to life

Gosh I wish I had the level of energy and positive vibes you always put out there. If one isn't in a good mood at the beginning of your video you will be by the end.

That was an excellent tutorial and a beautiful scarf! Thank you.

The Ashford Tutorials are excellent! I have learned so much from Kate Sherratt. Thank you Ashfords.

Concise and a good up close view of the details. I’ve saved this along with another basic weaving video and now feel competent enough to choose a loom and get started!

that was a beautiful tutorial , really inspiring ! you were very clear and concise and calmly spoken, and the music was just right, unlike lots of other youtube tutorials haha. im gonna have to learn how to do this :) thanks so much!

Watch this is like watching someone do a magic trick

i am the owner of the power loom factory but it is so easy to create the beautiful fabric in an simple manner thanks maam

sigh...i fell in love with weaving when i saw my grandmother's old loom...it was huge! i thought it so beautiful!

I've never woven anything before so your instructions were great, easy to follow. Perfect scarf for NZ weather to. I'd love to get one and try it out

that's amazing. I wish more people would watch these videos to see what goes into making fabric and things. Maybe then they would have a deeper respect for the fabric and clothing they buy and understand why hand made extra strong fabric costs a bit more then the factory made store bought stu

Another episode of "where have quarentine brought me?:

I loved the texture that novelty yarn gave you on the warp!

Great video. I never thought about wrapping the warp around my arm if I'm alone. Love my Sampleit.

oh boy. i don't even know what's going on.

9:17 "So that's how easy it is to weave" really?

yo i don’t even weave but watching this lady’s videos are so relaxing and knock me tf out. And i have major trouble sleeping. So thank you ash ford lady, thank you

Thank you, Kate. You answered a few questions. Perhaps Ashford could consider mfg a hinged-top style of rigid heddle, to eliminate the cutting and threading in dress the loom. Project fiber end-waste (when not tasseled) can add up. The heddle top-bar could be hinged at one end (mine is wing-nut), and all tines are open-slot from usual bottom or half measure, but all the way to the top, where a fine guage polymer cross-x in the heddle's tine tops (as in easy-thread needles) would easily hold sleyed heddle fibers in position, till the fully dressed heddle's top-bar would again secured for weaving position. It would certainly also ease warp color changes and unexpected fiber flaws or breaks. It's great spending less time sleying and more time weaving. Thanks.

one of the best demo of weaving exp for starter.. quite simple and step by step learning. best wishes for interesting show.narayan ahmedabad

That is beautiful. When I was little girl I had a weaving loom and I loved it! You make me want to weave again :D

I had a kid version when I was like 10. I loved it. This is beautiful, therapy in yarn 😍

LOL...my husband and children hated the clackity clack of my knitting machines so much they put them in my mother's attic.....guess what I'm buying next!!!!

Thanks so much for these detailed video instructions. I've done two of these scarves and they came out beautifully.

My curiosity has been appeased by your tutorial I've always wondered how looms work.

How is this so boring and fascinating at the same time - now I want to buy a weaving loom and make yarn fabrics... Thanks for making this - intriguing - love it...

I got my fist Ashford loom and I am so in love with it. Thank you so much. Roxanne from Minnesota

My three yr old grandson was watching this with me, he said that lady sounds liek grandpa. I was llike, not quite ;) My husband is Australian but that's pretty good for a three and a half year old to pick up :)

Great tut. I have issues with my scarf edges, so that hold + angle tip was helpful. I'm by myself crafting too. Still tons of conversation, and half the time I even win arguments that arise.

I have been thinking of trying weaving. Great tutorial and informative I will definitely be giving this a go. Thank you for the inspiration

a beautiful little loom I use mine every day . it's easy to warp a d very portable .

Great video tutorial. I just put my SampleIt Loom together and I'm lookin forward to warping it and making my first project. I have a wider Schacht rigid heddle loom but got this one to travel and take classes. Thank you for this video.

thank you i have a lap loom right now and loving it so relaxing

Felt so very relaxed when watching this and i do wanna give it a try too

"You can ask a friend to help you, but I am by myself" -looks at a person-

. . . I. . . Now. . . . Must. . . . Have.

I REALLY LOVE THIS I HAVE JUST STARTED WEAVING AND I LOVE IT . AND IT IS NOT HARD AT ALL . THE THINGS THAT CAN BE MADE ARE ENDLESS . ANYONE THAT THINKS THIS IS HARD TO DO .... DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HARD IS . IT IS VERY SIMPLE . I CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL I CAN GET A LOOM . WEAVING IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH DARN FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very helpful demonstration, thank you. My samplet is on its way. Getting excited!

Hi HappyBerryCrochet, no it is really easy to set up and quick to weave too!

I will snatch your weave

Nicely done! The setup was a bit onerous, but once you got started, I was really impressed at the speed and ease with which the finished product was achieved. Thanks for sharing!

I never tried weaving before but this video is quite inspiring. Lovely scarf and seems so soft.... Thanks

Great video. I was always worried about tight edges, thanks for explaining how to prevent that. I was wondering about the cardboard pieces on the warp loop. What are they for?

Every couple of months youtube recommends this video to me. I guess youtube wants me to start using a loom

You made this process so easy. I had no problems getting started.

This was helpful and I am glad I found it. I got the 32 in. Ashford loom recently and have been loving it! I did learn some tips here that I can use. Great video!

Hi, The threads are in the eyes and the slots - when you move the reed it changes the shed (crosses the threads over the weft yarn) to lock it in place. Thanks

Can you buy these looms in the United States? I've never seen or heard of these before. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! Much appreciated :)

that yarn is the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen I NEED it

Thanks so much for this- I just bought a children's loom to eventually give my not quite 3 year old daughter- I figured I should learn how to use it first- a week bit smaller than the one shown, but not much actually- I suspect setting up the loom the first time will be the most difficult part! or at least you make the rest look easy!

is there a limit to how long a piece u can make at one time pls? and are joins noticeable if u want to make a piece longer or wider pls? thanks! :)

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A RAINBOW LOOM IM FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR FROM LAUGHING AT MY STUPIDITY

Great video with clear and concise instructions....fantastic teacher...Thanks!!

Excellent video that was very easy to follow….and also the simple way to warp up. Thanks for your presentation!

That's super cool

Would one skein of each of the yarns be enough to make the scarf shown?

I'm in love with this tecnique!

This is so neat! I had never seen this type of work before. It's a lot of work but it' beautiful results. definitely would help you meditate :)

this looks cool, but too much work for me lol

How does RU-vid know my secret that I like these things😱

I don't know why this was in my recommended list, even weave or do anything like it. I am glad it did though. It's amazing how much work and thought put into stuff like that!

Gotta respect this. Clothing and underwear are one of the most important forms of protection, warmth and general defense from times past.

GOD LADY YOU ARE AWESOME! 😂😂

that's like the least simple thing on earth xD

Awesome video. Your instructions were so clear and understandable. Thank you.

I just LOVE her color choice of scarf..and her nail color accents the tutorial very nicely. 😉.

Very Very beautiful

Que lindo Gostaria imenso ter esse tear.

That was so cool. I never thought about the mechanics of a loom. My closest contact was like 25 years ago at school where you had to weave some strings in a shoe box. No idea why YT showed me your video but it was really interesting.

Oooohh!! This has only increased my interest in weaving with a loom. Some people here talked about the cost of the loom, but when you think about it, it's just the initial investment. If you consider not having to buy any more equipment, as long as the loom lasts (which will be for a long time barring any accidents or the like), & if you get a lot of use out of it, the cost over time is actually quite low. I've always been fascinated by weaving, & this seems like a good tool to use for it. A good fit for small spaces, & such beautiful items can be made. I'm going to look for this or a similar product here on my part of Canada. ☺

As I was in Kindergarten we done there something similar to this xD

On peut trouver le montage en français à quel endroit svp. Je n'ai que le livre anglais. Merci

Wow that is insane how much work goes into that! It’s very beautiful but a lot of work!

I just bought one, can't wait to get started!

why am i here. i was watching game grumps

This is soo hard and i thought it was loom bands?

This was so cool. I wouldve never thought something could be so cool.

lovely demo. that was so soothing to watch. ❤️ beautiful scarf

man... when i was 10 i whent to this ladies house to make a carpet and her loom was massive so its so strange to see a tiny lil one

Me: Oh this looks interesting maybe I will learn how to weave. My brain: No. Just no.

Hi. Thanks for the video. I ordered my samplet loom last week. Can't wait to get started......patients is what we South Africans have in spades. Have no idea how long we have to wait for. So I will keep watching your videos. Xxx

beautiful and the yarn is so dreamy !

Big Likeeee
