Inkle Weaving Basics: Tricks and Tips for Warping and Getting Started
Annie is a dedicated inkle loom weaver with over four decades of experience and loves to share her enthusiasm! Thanks to The Shutter and The Shuttle for filming this video. shutterandshuttle.com/
As a teacher and mentor, she has observed new weavers asking the same set of questions as they first start out. In this video, she demonstrates the basics of warping and answers some of those questions.
Tips include some things that even experienced inkle weavers may not know like:
How to use a quick-release knot to secure the beginning of your threads to the loom while warping
How to change colors as needed with only one knot per color
What is the proper length for heddles and how to test it
What loom makers don't tell you about taking the shortest path and how to prevent the warp from slipping
Also, there is a valuable tip in here for the thing that inkle weavers seem to struggle with the most: getting nice edges! Once you know this, you can eliminate the lumps and bumps forever!
An Inkle Weaving FAQs and Answers page over on Annie’s blog is a great companion to this video. Find it here: aspinnerweaver.blogspot.com/p/inkle-weaving-faqs-and-answers.html

Inkle Weaving With Variegated Yarn
Переглядів 2,9 тис.2 роки тому
This video was made as part of a blog post to demonstrate how I used variegated yarn on the inkle loom, lining up the color changes to create a faux ikat effect. The yarn is a beautiful skein of "Laurel" from Schaefer Yarn.

In September 2014, Rick & Doug drove this Model A 384 miles from Santa Cruz, CA along the Pacific Coast Highway to Santa Monica, picked up Route 66 and followed it as much as possible to Albuquerque, New Mexico, putting on another 1090 miles. Total mileage was 1374, and there was no "chase car", with parts or a trailer. Just build it and drive it. The trip took five days, although the last day ...

Darlene Carman Presents...With Annie MacHale (February 15, 2012)

"Darlene Carman Presents..." Aired on CreaTV San Jose in March of 2012. Darlene Carman and her husband Doug host this show two times a month. In each episode, they interview creative people. After seeing me weaving at several craft fairs they asked if I'd like to be on the show. It was a great experience.I brought 4 inkle looms and many finished works. We talked about the process, the inspirati...
I purchased your pattern on Etsy and the set up doesn't not match this video AT ALL. Could/would you possibly make a new video using the warp with the green threads on the side and brown selvages. thank you
I'm sorry if this seems confusing to you. The video isn't really about color or what's in the border area. It is meant to demonstrate the process of picking and dropping threads to create the letters.
I have to try this!
Thanks a lot for making this video ❤ I had given up on trying to comprehend how to use the pattern generator so this comes as a true game-changer! 😊 Another thing I’ve been looking for but can’t seem to find, is an explanation to how you join the two ends of a handwoven band more or less invisibly to each other, e.g. for decorative use around a naalbound hat or a skirt’s hem. You don’t happen to have any tips, do you?
There are more videos made by Jeff who created the pattern generator. They can be found on his UA-cam channel here: www.youtube.com/@raktres/videos As for joining the two ends of the band, I can't help you with that. I've never done it myself. Good luck!
Thank you for the great beginners video. I am a long time weaver but new to inkle weaving so your instruction was just what I needed. Thanks!
I want to make a nice guitar strap
I'm getting real tired of these clickbait thumbnails! It has nothing to do with the video!
Thank you, I did learn a lot😊😊😊
Hi! I have been playing around with this but can't seem to find how to put the threading draft that you show at the side of the pattern.
Hi. I don't understand your question. The threading draft is show in 2 forms. The first is the two rows at the top of the pattern which are separated by a little space from the "drawdown" or preview of the pattern below. Then, the second threading draft uses a different format of blocks with white space in between. It is alongside the main pattern/drawdown. It may be a little easier to read. You have to give the page a 1/4 turn to read it.
Thank you for the demonstration. I would like to play around with this.
Cool. Thanks for the demonstration. I went to your blog and looked at the final project. Wow! So beautiful. It is worth “wasting” a bit of yarn to get this effect.
Thank you Annie. A very well done explanation of inkle weaving. I love the tip about putting and keeping tension on your weft thread. So helpful. I look forward to more videos.
Thanks so much for intelligent instructions!!!
Thank you! This is so clear and understandable, and I loved your relaxed demeanor. Your explanations are wonderful.
I very much enjoyed your video. Your teaching style is relaxing and easy to follow, and each step is clear as to the how and why. I'm subscribing and looking forward to exploring your channel. Thanks!
Quiero aprender todo el abecedario
Thanks for this.
I’m new to inkle loom weaving and your tips are extremely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊
This makes pattern weaving make so much sense. Thank you!
J'aime ce que vous faites j'en ai fait 2 mais je ne comprends pas l'anglais 😢
Does it matter, when changing colours, to pick up or drop off first?
It doesn't as long as you get them both done in the same row, the order is not important. I think of it as an exchange of two threads, picking and dropping in pairs. Pick one and drop the one next to it. Does that make sense?
it does indeed; thanks for the quick response! love this stuff!!! ♥
Thank you Annie I watch again to freshen up my memory or any time something isn't going just right. Thank you so much for your videos and love love love your book. Plain weave is my thing.
Thank you! This was a HUGE help for me!
It's great to see you on You Tube! I have and love all your books and have been so inspired by your beautiful bands! Thank you for this video, it is very helpful, especially only tying the threads once - now I know I've been doing it correctly!
Thanks for the kind words! There is more than one way to do everything.
Annie, you have been a great inspiration to me in my weaving journey! I have your book "In Celebration of Plainweave" and have created several of your patterns. I now own 2 inkle looms, one is a "monster" floor loom. Thank you for sharing your art!
Great video. Thank you for making it. I found it very helpful.

Hi. Since I speak very little Spanish, I used Google Translate to help me read your comment. You could follow this link to the article on my blog and also use Google Translate or a similar service to read it. I hope that it's helpful. aspinnerweaver.blogspot.com/2015/12/weaving-letters-on-inkle-band.html
@@ASpinnerWeaver hermosa, gracias por contestar 😘
Thank you Annie MacHale for this video. I had almost given up on the pattern editor. Now I'm excited. With it and your book I feel I can definitely move on. Thank you bunches.
And most definitely will leave a "tip" for Jeff
I LOVE this tool! Glad that you found the video helpful. He keeps making it do more things and there is now a newer version. Much of it works the same way, but you may have to spend some time playing with it to find the newest features. His blog here gives tips as he makes changes, so be sure to read it for the latest info: www.raktres.net/blog/
Thank you, Annie!
Buat jelimet gerakit
I tried to do lettering with a 5 pattern Sami heddle. Was hoping that it would work but did not. One day I hope to learn your lettering style. It is so pretty and weaving words can be so meaningful.
I've just started inkle. Not ready for this yet, but I think I can when the time is right. Thank you
Dear Annie, may You tell me where I have to weave the loom I need to know this before start
Hello. Sorry, but I don't understand your question, Mary. It didn't translate to English well.
@@ASpinnerWeaver Hi Annie, I meant that I need to know how to weave the loom first to make the letters then. Thanks!
@@ASpinnerWeaver hi Annie, thanks for the vídeo! I know how to warp in a inkle loom. My question is how to warp to get this kind of "design( letters)" ...do You begin alternately warping, one turquoise, one Brown till finish? I make this question because when You want to make any( other) design no letters for example, this will depend on how many threads of one colour You put together when You warp... the way we put the threads turns different results! to make letters may be is like in the Mapuche loom, we called "peinecillo" l need to warp one colour, then other different colour alternately till finish...to get 15 of each colour ....and 4 of dark colour at each side.... when You warp in this way You form horizontal bars when you make through heddles or Open shed... these horizontal bars we called "peinecillo" in the Mapuche art. Will it be the way of warping to make letters, Annie?
@@maryzamora9426 Please look at my notes below the video. Here I have given a link to my blog. There is a warping draft there that will tell you how to arrange the colors on your loom.
Excelente. Muy bien explicado. Gracias por compartir. 🥀
Great video!
Is there a way we can see how beautiful this looks after you've finished it?
Yes. Click the link in the notes above to go to my blog. There are photos there.
What a treasure! Thank you so much for a wonderful surprise whilst researching weaving videos. So glad these fellers could do this, and share it with us all. Virtual hug!
Wow! I stumbled onto this while looking up weaving videos, and I can't tell you what joy it brought a lonely American expatriate on a sunny afternoon in Europe. It is so wonderful to see beautiful, rural America's forgotten byways. May they remain unspoiled. Thank you.
This is genius. I never would have thought of this! Thank you!
Weaving on an inkling loom
Out of all the pickup/drop pattern weave videos, i found this to be the eureka moment of them all. Not overly technical and pedantic this one just shows you how to do what you came here looking for. Appreciated
Met Rick @ EMCC, neat car, great guy!
Türkçe anlatımı yok mu
Hi. I'm sorry that there is no translation for you. I only speak English. You can learn much by using the tool yourself although this will take some time. I found that the more I used it, the more I understood how it worked. I hope that you give it a try!
@@ASpinnerWeaver Türkçe çeviri
@@fatmakts616 Bunu yazmak için Google Translate'i kullandım. Merhaba. Üzgünüm sizin için bir çeviri yok. Sadece ingilizce konuşuyorum. Bu biraz zaman alacak olsa da, aracı kendiniz kullanarak çok şey öğrenebilirsiniz. Kullandıkça nasıl çalıştığını daha iyi anladım. Umarım denersiniz!
What kind o yarn u r using
I mostly use cotton yarns for my projects. My favorite is Omega Sinfonia. It's made in Mexico and can be purchased in the U.S. from Creative Yarn Source here: creativeyarnsource.com/product/sinfonia/
Thank you for this! I think I'm going to try to make collars for my dogs that have my phone number woven into the collar. :)
That's a great idea! Good luck with your project!
Merci beaucoup Anne, cette vidéo est vraiment super et aide énormément. Je suis débutante en Inkle loom weaving et j'ai presque tout compris de suite. Il n'y avait pas une traduction du loom pattern editeur? Merci encore!
I'm glad that you found it helpful. I didn't understand your question. You can always write to Jeff Bigot who made the Pattern Editor. He is French and can answer any translation issues.
Awesome subbed
Wow! Time flew by. I finally bought an Inkle loom, and downloaded your fabulous eBook and alphabet chart. I just finished the letter A! Thanks again!
Yay, thank you!
