Thank you so much for this information. I've just finished a "horn sock" for a powder horn my husband made. Next, I'll make a baby blankie for my children's friend (double wide).

i really LOVE all your videos. just had to tell you! I don't know if i can ever do this, butI do have two ten dent heddles, in case my brain is trained. Thank you for doing the one on houndstooth, I hope to do it soon, blessings, grace in VT

However you want to get the warps on there doesn't matter...as long as the warp is on the loom and it has even tension, then you did it right! :)

Can you do a video on double wide cloth? The tube video was helpful. Thanks for posting the Ashford instructions on your website.

+Penny Wheeler The instructions for double wide are on the web page that has the Ashford instructions. Simply reverse the middle sequence.

Do you have any tips for picking up the threads when they are all the same colour? Watching where you pick all the red threads that are on top. Thx!

What would the sequence be if I wanted to have two selvedges on one side and a fold on the other? Essentially, I want to double the width of the cloth I can weave on my rigid heddle loom

I yam new to rigid heddle, love your videos, ESP this one!! Thank you! If I want to cut open one side of the finished cloth, for sewing, would there be a thick double selvedge edge? Gratefully, grace in vt.

Hello! I have an Ashford 32'' rigid heddle loom, and I have been trying to figure out the threading for using two heddles. The problem I have is this: I don't have a warping board, so I use the direct warping method, and I don't want to use two different colors when warping...all the instruction I can find tell me to use two colors...if I use the direct warping method with a single color, can you give some advice about keeping track of the threads to make sure the heddles are threaded correctly? every time I try it I end up with a under-two-over-one, and I just want to weave double density, thats all...I'm so confused and frustrated

If all you are doing is doubling the sett (double density) then you don't need pick up sticks. Direct warp as usual, except when it comes time to sley the reeds, take 4 groups of threads, like in the video, and simply ensure that no threads going through a hole in the rear heddle is also going through a hole in the front. You can't have threads going through holes in both heddles, they have to be either in a slot or a hole, not both at the same time. Hope that helps.

Also, check my web page for more on double weave. The problem with rigid heddles is just that, they are rigid. The heddles don't slide side to side out of the way like they do on regular looms. You have to "go around" them (note: the pieces with the holes are the heddles, the slots are simply spaces between the heddles). I think it helps a lot to understand the rigid heddle if we understand how a regular shaft loom works first. Check into floor loom weaving, that might shed a lot of light on a lot of things for you.

+Betty Smit-Engelse When set up correctly, the resulting weave structure will be basket weave (2/2 interlacement). There's a way to get a plain weave (1/1 interlacement) but it involves moving one of the rear slot threads way over. I find doing multi-shaft weave structures with a rigid heddle to be too tedious and time consuming so opt to do multi-shaft weave structures with either string heddles on a rod or on a floor loom.

What size/weight yarn would you recommend for a double density cloth using 2 8-dent reeds?
@rigidheddleweaving
8 жыл бұрын
+Allen Mealer Any yarn with a recommended medium density plain balanced weave sett of 8 ends per inch. Doubling it would give you 16 ends and make a dense cloth. See my page on sett for choosing yarn. rigidheddleweaving.com/articles/when-size-matters

+rigidheddleweaving I guess I should have phrased my question differently...I"d like to weave a blanket on my rigid heddle loom with a seam on the left and open on the right in order to make the blanket twice as wide as in the heddle. Do you think worsted weight would work with two 8-dent heddles? Thanks for your response to my previous question!
@rigidheddleweaving

You describe double wide. The fact that there is 2 heddles doesn't change the density if you are doing double wide. All it means is that you are weaving 2 (single) layers at the same time which are joined on one side. If you use two 8 dent heddles, the sett will be 8 ends per inch across the entire warp (for both layers). Use the sett recommended for whatever yarn you're using. See my article. There is links to the Master Yarn Chart and explanation of setts. Hope that helps.

can you make a video to weave a tube with a single reed?
@rigidheddleweaving
8 жыл бұрын
+Elisabeta Pieleanu Tubes require 4 distinct sheds. You can't do that with a single reed. Well, you can but you'd need to either use a pick up stick for every thread on every pick or substitute the missing second reed with string heddles on a rod. I suggest, if possible, if you want to do multi-shaft weaves, to get a multi-shaft loom. Best of luck!

Interesting video. The ashford double heddle pamphlet suggests the back reed is threaded to the right, the front to the left. You do the same, does it really matter?
