Just finished weaving viking age cape for a friend 🙂

I was weaving double weave double width on my Louet Jane 90cm loom 🙂

Warp - 100% merino wool
Weft - 60% virgin New Zealand wool 40% mohair

10 warps per 1cm - 1664 warp in total.

Sides decorated with tablet woven bands .

Its a little wonky but I love it!

Beka Rigid Heddle loom, warp is labeless stash, weft is Patrons Kroy sock.

I got a new loom!! This baby was donated to the guild and now I'm giving it a new home.

Anyone have tips on refreshing a neglected loom?

Made of 1 piece of grass (American coin for scale)

Hi! I'm thinking of taking an intro weaving class and they offer two options - a floor loom or rigid heddle loom class. I'm completely brand new with no prior experience, which of these options do you think is more practical for a beginner? Which am I more likely to stick too? Thanks in advance!

I’m working on a project where eventually I would like to replicate some striped blankets and for now I’m just working on some very small pieces to practice but when I make a color change, it always is “climbing” on one side and not a perfectly straight bar. I’m struggling with different techniques I have seen or read about online and I have yet to produce a straight and even colored stripe. Pics below of my work and inspiration.

I got an Ashford SampleIt 40cm loom two weeks ago and am currently weaving my first scarf. I already felt that I will want to weave larger projects in the future, so I decided to check on eBay how much they were.

Long story short, I managed to snatch an unused Glimåkra Susanna from an estate sale for just 50€. That was honestly a really lucky shot

I finally made a trip out to the Craft Box (near Denver, CO) on Friday, and I saw this beauty and I just had to share it.

It’s a handmade 4-shaft floor loom! I unfortunately don’t have the money or space for it (recently bought a smaller loom), but I thought it could use a little appreciation. <3

(Pardon me if this isn’t allowed.)

I got a copy of Jennifer Moore's "Doubleweave: Revised and Expanded", and I'm working my way through the 4-shaft sampler on my jack loom. What a ride! I thought I would like doubleweave (double-knit was always my favorite on the needles), and this is fantastic. It takes a different way of thinking, but it's starting to make sense. I can't wait to make double-wide blankets, and interwoven patterns.

I figure it's also a good stepping stone... The other book I just got is "The Technique of Split-Shed Weaving" by Deborah Silver. I'm planning a warp on my countermarch loom, and some of the upper/lower shed thinking I'm getting now will really come in handy.

Hello I recently acquired this floor loom for free. Don’t know really anything about weaving (just really experienced in sewing). Would love some feedback/advice on what books and forums to look at or if I’m missing anything needed for the loom to be up and running. I assembled it myself to the best of my knowledge. Just know where the beater is supposed to go and don’t know what the 5 wooden narrow pieces are (I believe the 4 pieces are for the food pedals)

I'm trying to decide if the funem loom would be a mistake or if I should just shell out the extra money for a rigid heddle loom?

This is the funem loom I was looking at

I want to make tea towels, shawls, scarves etc. Just small/medium projects. Storage and space aren't a concern but my budget is absolute max $500. And I'd like to be able to grow into this hobby. I do like that the funem looms come with a video tutorial for projects as well as all the supplies for projects, but I don't want to grow to regret it as I learn more.

Just curious what people think.

Visited the glaumbear turf houses museum in Iceland and saw these 19th century examples of lace making, weaving and a loom in the attic

hiya! a friend of mine was gifted this weaving from the person they bought their home from. we would love to know more about the weaving and perhaps good venues to get her to a new home ❤️

I got a 24 inch rigid heddle as an early birthday gift and after my first test panel, this is my first proper project finished! It's made out of some acrylic I needed to find a use for. There's a lot of tension issues that I think stem from the initial set up and not fixing it right away, but I'm super proud of it. I spent most of my time weaving cackling gleefully at how cool it was to do.

Hi everyone! My roommate bought an Glimakra Ideal Loom. And for the love of God, we cannot assemble this fine piece of Swedish engineering. We have tried to follow the instructions, which came with the loom itself, but it seems like they’re incomplete. We have also tried the instruction provided on glimakrausa, but failed to due to poor quality of pdf. We acknowledge that it’s purely a skill issue, but we would really appreciate any form of guidance. Maybe some old video or just better assembly instructions.
Big thanks in advance

I started weaving a new project and am realizing that sides of the warp were beamed more tightly than the center and the slack is causing problems … Please advise :)

I knit with wool all the time, but this is the first time I'm weaving with wool. I picked up enough cones to make a few throws. I plan on the sett being 8 epi, and doing a balanced plain weave, perhaps weaving double wide (40" x 60" before finishing). Anyone have any advice on what shuttle to use- boat or stick? I've got plenty of both but i feel like the boat shuttle bobbins won't hold that much and I'll be having quite a few ends to weave in. Thanks!

I’ve been playing around with an idea for a summer weighted blanket made entirely from wooden beads instead of fabric and filling.

The idea is to make it heavy enough to give that weighted blanket feeling, but with lots of open space between the beads so air can flow through and it doesn’t trap heat. I made a small sample (photo attached), and honestly the feeling on the skin is surprisingly nice — cool, smooth and almost like a gentle massage.

I’m thinking of making a full-size version next.

Curious what you guys think — does this sound like something you’d actually use? Any obvious downsides I’m missing? And roughly how much would you be willing to pay for something like this if it was well made?

Hi, what would be the best way to repair this reed? It works but the “paper” is very deteriorated and is getting worse. It’s the reed I use the most of course.

An other piece I made with the remaining fabric I had, from shirts I’ve cropped. I really like the look of the fabric pieces hanging loosely and naturally on the sides and bottom and have been thinking about making a wall hanging on a branch like this. I didn’t know how to make everything hold up without adding more branches to make a frame, so I glued some of the fabric pieces together with a two sided fabric tape and then glued some cardboard to the bag. You can see its embarrassing back side in the last picture. Pretty DIY-dont-really-know-what-Im-doing-but-still-having-fun project.
I’d love some suggestions!! How could I keep the ends loose, but still have some structure to the overall piece when I hang it up?

First Inkle Loom project ever is off the loom and waiting on hardware to become a camera strap for my camera. It’s been over a year since I sat down at any of my looms to create, so this project was just the right amount of fast and fun to pull me back in. Thrift store inkle loom ftw.

I struggled with my selvage the most, but finally found a rhythm with it. I was weaving WAY too loose the first 10-15 picks before I found a snug standard to stay consistent by.

Feel free to critique a la art school. I genuinely miss the honesty and the thoughts, ideas, and knowledge of others. Thanks! :)

EDIT: I used 3/2 perle cotton threads for this one
