Hi Kelly - thanks so much for this - just what I needed. I'm in the UK atm and had been really struggling to understand yarns & find good equivalents here. Wonderful info here. Just about to pop to your Amazon shop ... Etsy too :)

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

Thank you! I'm really surprised that there isn't more suitable yarn available in the UK, and from what I've heard, the weaving yarns that you can get are very expensive. Such a shame from a region with a rich weaving history. I guess a lot of the historical mills produced their own yarn, from their own sheep though. That may explain the lack of availability of commercial weaving yarns? I'm just hypothesising though 🤔

@jacalynbledsoe3717 2 года назад

I am glad to see this video from you. So many new weavers are at a loss when it comes to the different fibers. I make bath towels and larger bathsheets using 3/2 Americam Maid cotton yarn for the warp and boucle for the weft. They are extremely absorbent. I have made 5 of the bathsheets so far for family. They have become their favorites and have asked me for more of them. I have made a lot of dish towels with the 8/2 cottolin and I find that is the best for absorbency. My next project will be an 8 shaft pinwheel using 3/2 perle cotton. The pattern is from Tom Knisely's book "Handwoven Table Linens".

@heathersealey592 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I own a yarn shop in Canada, and I'm slowly expanding my weaving supplies. I started with a rigid heddle because it worked well enough with the yarn I already have in stock. I'm looking at bringing in some weaving yarns this spring, and I had no idea where to start! I'm already an Ashford Dealer, but I might have to look into Brassard instead (for now). And I'll try not to glare too many daggers at anyone fluffing the yarn strand!

This is on my radar to try next! I don't have any 8/2 yarns at present so maybe I'll make some placements from my stash of 8/4 Maysville.

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

8/4 is great for placemats, my one recommendation would be to use a closer, rather than a looser sett. If you need any help with specifics, just let me know 😉

@diannawassell5563 2 года назад

@sueheathcote8859 2 года назад

Thank you for this very useful information. Another video with information about yarns such as bamboo or tencel would be useful. Do you use 16/2 for anything, other than the weft for overshot? If I double 16/2 will this be like using 8/2? I acquired some Maurice Brassard 16/2 at one of our charity shops very cheaply, but don't really know what to do with it!

@lizchilders4154 2 года назад

Great info, much appreciated. Any suggestions on cottons to weave for wash/face cloths? As a quilter also, your blanket has me wanting to make one! It looks so cozy soft.I used my rigid heddle loom to make a pillow cover for a friend. It turned out decent and looks good after a year of use. I have made table runners and kitchen towels. Also, I have a couple of wool shawls and scarfs. I keep looking at all my yarn….wool and cotton, but no projects are underway currently.

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

For wash cloths, I would use a thick cotton, aran weight and consider doing loop pile. Syne Mitchell has a tutorial if you're interested- www.weavezine.com/content/pile-loop-wash-cloths.html

@avrilp317 2 года назад

Thank you so much. It is wonderful to have someone with such knowledge when you have just started out on the weaving journey. When you use these cottons what size heddles do you use and do you double warp the 8/2 cotton or indeed the rest?

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

That is a bit of a loaded question, because it just depends on what I'm weaving, the weave structure, the intended use of the project etc. If I'm weaving kitchen towels though, I like to double 8/2 cotton using a 12.5 dent heddle 😉

@Ellenh88 2 года назад

I love this information! Hand/tea towels are my favorite to weave thus far too. Do you have the pattern for the band you showed? I didn't see it in the project list above and we've been trying out inkle/band weaving as of late too. Thanks again for the great video!

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

I designed the pattern for the band. I'm happy to email it to you if you just want to use it for personal use?

@JudyT-fx2ch Год назад

I have just starting on weaving tea towels on my RH loom. I have done one as a prototype to get the feel of it and to work out shrinkage, loom waste etc. It includes lots of mistakes (missed warp threads) but overall I am reasonably happy with this first effort. One question - do you do a hemstitch before taking off the loom or just zigzag on the sewing machine after removing? I really enjoyed this video on which yarn for tea towels.

@KellyCasanova Год назад

Hi Judy, I don't hemstitch towels on the loom, I'm lucky enough to have a serger, so I serge the edges off the loom, then wet finish, then machine hem.

@andrewhypher2087 2 года назад

Hi Kelly, Thanks so much for explaining the different yarn weights and what they can be used for so clearly. I'm really looking forward to the Diamond Stripe Towel project starting next week and have my 8/2 yarn ready and waiting! I noticed one of your samples in the video had what appeared to be a herringbone weave. Where can I find out more information about trying that on a rigid heddle loom, please?

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

That one was woven on my floor loom. Herringbone is a 4 shaft pattern though, so it can be woven on a rigid heddle loom by making additional shafts - either with extra heddles, pick up sticks or heddle rods.

@SASoundsRock 2 года назад

Andrew I also eyed the herringbone ... I've been looking too. RH here too.

@michelleherrington5334 2 года назад

Thanks for the overview Kelly. Great Stuff!! I would like to do some bath sheets also. Any suggestions?

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

I haven't done bath sheets myself - loop pile could be the way to go, or a huck lace structure - it depends on your loom and how many shafts you have.

@ullafuru2456 2 года назад

Also, very helpful mentioning the weight of the yarns, such as Sugar'n Cream, because that's not something I can find in Europe - instead we have a bunch of knitting (and crochet) cotton in fingering and DK weight both mercerised and natural available in the grocery stores (Novita) as well as warp cotton in 6, 9, 12, and 18 plies. Is there a good use as weft for these unmercerised warp cotton yarns? They're not particularly soft, nor are they fine in that sense.

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

Warp cottons do vary, some of them are soft enough for towels and others are just really tough and basically for rug or tapestry warping. You may want to purchase some to sample with? They may change and soften up after wet finishing. Or at the very least you will find out whether they are worth weaving with or not - sometimes you don't really know until you try.

@ullafuru2456 2 года назад

Crochet cotton. Usually thin, hard, and mercerised, but readily available everywhere. Does it have any use in weaving at all? I was also looking at the pictures of the 8/2 (or was it 10/2??) Japanese pieces you showed, and that apron is something I want to sew. I never even thought (d'uh) the fabric could be hand woven. Is the apron part of the course? How wide fabric was used, and do you have a pattern, or do you know where I could get one - apart from making my own pattern? If the picture is not of a Japanese apron or is not hand made, I apologize.

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

A lot of weavers do use crochet cotton for weaving and love it. I tend not to because it's fairly expensive here, for what you get. I did try some Perle cotton for an inkle band recently and it was beautiful. Yes, the picture is of an apron and it is part of the course 😊

@lisareinke8408 2 года назад

Excellent assortment. Do you use boucle 8/2 Maurice brassard for tea towels? Would love to see your samples and patterns with this. Aloha

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

Sorry Lisa, I haven't tried boucle. I'd like to though!

@carolperry4552 2 года назад

Yes, definitely unmercerised 😉

@FeltingwithMarikah 2 года назад

Thank you for the video. I’m interested in your weave along session and trying to get the important supply. I ordered your instructions on Etsy, also two 12,5 reeds, but still looking for a good yarn source.. My local shop has cottotin in 8/2 or cotton in 8/4. Can I use 12,5 reeds for 8/4 ? Thank you

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

Yes, you can Marikah, and I provide instructions for adapting the pattern to 8/4 cotton inside the weave along 😊

@margaretrosesimons1757 2 года назад

I am so interested in your weave a long project! But I don’t know if I can be ready in time. Will you begin with warping the loom or do you assume students in this class already have knowledge of how to do that on their own? My loom is not rigid heddle. It is a Leclerc Dorothy which I purchased from an individual and have not had any instruction on how to use. Do you have suggestions on how I might get started if I want to be ready to begin with your weave along? Can I buy 8/2 cotton at a Michaels or Joannes?

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

The weave along is specifically for the rigid heddle loom, so you may find that you want to get to know your Dorothy a bit better first. I do have table loom course, if you're interested in that - it would be more relevant to you at this point in getting to know your loom- kelly-casanova-weaving-lessons.teachable.com/p/table-loom/?preview=logged_out

@judyhalter1147 2 года назад

Love your videos! Is there any yarn you can use that you don’t need to iron for tea towels. I assume you don’t put them in the dryer.

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

No, I don't use a dryer, I dry them on the clothesline. I don't iron them either! (Confessions of a lazy homemaker here! 😆) Cottolin is great for not needing ironing after washing.

@estefuchs8564 Год назад

What kind of yarn would I use to weave a yoga rug/mat?

@KellyCasanova Год назад

I have to admit that I don't own or know much about yoga mats so I'm not much help, other than to say you would want cotton for washability and hard wearing.

@maryannalliston8736 2 года назад

Thank you - I found this very informative! I was able to purchase a quantity at a very reasonable price of 3/2 cotton. Not sure if this corresponds to any of the thicker yarns you mentioned. If you have the opportunity, I'd love to hear your take on this yarn and what it's uses can be.

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

I haven't actually used 3/2 cotton, but from what I've read it seems like a lovely option for softer cotton projects. It seems a similar size to 8/4 cotton but with a different number of plies (2ply instead of 4) - meaning how many strands of the yarn are plied together to make the yarn. I'm not sure how it would be for kitchen towels, it may depend on the brand as to how they would work out. Is your 3/2 mercerised or unmercerised?

@audreyburman3023 2 года назад

Hi, Mary Ann. I too have 3/2 cotton and made a simple towel with it, but it didn't seem to be absorbent enough compared to store bought towels. I don't know why it is not absorbent as it is organic unmercerized cotton.

@marvinrust6478 Год назад

hello, we don't have a rigid loom but would like to loom some of the towels and such, does it matter whether you weave it on a rigid loom or a floor loom . We also have a Strucco table loom, it was make in the sevenities. thank you for your time, Marv and Kathy

@KellyCasanova Год назад

It does matter because the set ups are different. You can take a 4 shaft draft and weave it on either a rigid heddle or a table/floor loom but you need to know how to set each of the looms up to do that.

@maureenconnolly6415 2 года назад

Hi Kelly, what size reed do you recommend for tea towels in 8/2 please?

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

I like to weave tea towels with 8/2 cotton at 20-25 ends per inch. If you're using a rigid heddle, you could double your yarn in either a 10 or 12-12.5 dent heddle.

@jackiecauthron-schafer9554 2 года назад

Wool absorbs approximately 30% of its weight. It's very absorbent. That doesn't mean it is the best fiber for towels, but it's not the reason we don't weave it to make them.

@louannssewingroom7172 Год назад

What projects do you prefer to do on a rigid heddle loom and what projects do you prefer to do on a table loom? I'm thinking about a table loom, I have the 24" rigid heddle. Thank you.

@KellyCasanova Год назад

That's a good question, I don't know that anyone has asked me that before! It's purely personal preference, but I like the rigid heddle loom for scarves, shawls etc, especially for wool that has some elasticity and for thicker threads. I prefer the table loom for using finer threads and more rigid threads like cotton, as I can get better tension. And I will always opt for a multi shaft loom when I want to weave something like twill, overshot, etc that needs more shafts because it's more straightforward than setting up extra shafts on a RH.

@louannssewingroom7172 Год назад

Thank you. I've been doing towels on my rigid heddle but warping 8/2 cotton is a problem for me. So I warp with Suger and Cream and use 8/2 for the weft. I'm going to be saving up for that table top loom 😊.

@dorgana68 2 месяца назад

I'm currently weaving a towel at 8/2 too and the yarn just looks thicker to me. I'm using 7.5 dent header, so the sett is automatically wider. Should I use a 10 dent and still 8/2? Because it's definitely not the tightly woven thinner yarn type towels.

@KellyCasanova 2 месяца назад

8/2 usually needs to be woven at 20 epi or higher for towels. 20-25 is usually ideal. That would mean using a 10 or 12-12.5 dent heddle with doubled 8/2.

@kathleengerwien845 2 года назад

one question though re: the 8/2 cotton for kitchen towels. Can you use a clothes dryer when the sunshine is not cooperating?

Yes, many weavers do that Kathleen, I never have because I don't have a dryer.

@winterwoodcottage3657 2 года назад

Question. As a new weaver with a heddle loom, I foolishly broke the bank buying 16/2 mercerized cotton in many colors. I thought I would make dish towels with it but it seems a bit challenging at such a fine thread. Any advice on what to do with all of this thread/yarn? It's quite discouragingly for my skill level.

@KellyCasanova 2 года назад

You could save it for a little while. Get some practice on your loom with some other yarns first. You can use your 16/2 later for towels, scarves etc.

With 8/4 cotton waffle weave after washing the towel is so wrinkled. I can iron it but I won’t want to iron them every time nor would I give them away. What happened?

@KellyCasanova 6 месяцев назад

I was under the impression that all Sugar n Cream yarn is the same size, but perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway, the one I have in the video is known as a size 4 in the US, crochet hook size H/8 hook (from a Sugar n Cream sales page). Hope that helps!
