The Weaving Loom The Modern Lap Loom Weaver's Resource

I’m so very excited about today’s post. We’re going to talk about using color in weaves and to help me talk about color, I’ve turned to my favorite weaver of colors Cassie Hull of Wild Plum Co. Cassie mixes colors like a pro, I am truly amazed by the color combos she comes up with. She is also a super nice person and a dream to work with. I’m truly happy to have met her.

Enjoy!

Me: How do you approach selecting colors for a weave? Do you start with just one color and then pick the other colors from there, or do you start with a group of colors? Or maybe something else completely?

Cassie: I will start off with a color that inspires me and then gather a grouping of other colors that I feel compliments/contrasts that main color. I will typically gather 5-6 different yarns and fibers. I like to incorporate a combination of a few different textures in each weaving and then let my imagination go wild!
Me: Do you have a personal guideline for bringing color balance into your weaves? I’ve noticed that a lot of your weaves don’t have a solid colored neutral, but maybe a speckled neutral or a muted tone, and it works so well! Do you have any tips for beginners that want to use a lot of color, but don’t want to overwhelm their weaves?

Cassie: I don’t personally have a particular guideline that I use. For beginners, I would recommend not having a guideline either. If your wanting a more colorful weaving just pick out a few colors that speak to you and just add them in your weaving as you go. You can continue adding colors in until you’re satisfied. Just go for it and have fun! You will pick up what your personal style is and what you like best. I am still fairly new to the weaving game. I’ve only been weaving for a little over a year and within that year I have learned so much! All through trial/error and practice. Using all different fibers, gauges of yarns, hand spun yarns and roving! The best and most fun part is experimenting! There are so many beautiful colors of yarns and fibers to work with out there.

Me: When you’re shopping for yarn are you looking at them based on color or texture or both?

Cassie: Definitely color! I’ll purchase my yarns from local yarn shops but some of my favorites yarns and fibers are online. There are SO many great places on Etsy for beautiful hand spun and hand dyed yarns, which are my absolute favorite to work with! Which is also supports other small shops, which I love. I’ll first look for color and what catches my eye. Most of the time, I am on the hunt for a specific colors because I do so much custom work but If I see something I cant part with I’ll get that too and keep to use for another time.Me: What colors do you gravitate towards?

Cassie: I feel my style is constantly changing but lately I am liking ‘Bright & Light’ sort of feel in my weavings. I would say any colors that catch my eye but I love any and all the shades of pink, pretty mustards, turquoise, purples, and multi colored yarns. My very favorites are hand dyed yarns. Whether that be a solid pretty color or a multi colored, which are so fun! They are all so original and no two are exactly alike because they’re all dyed by hand. With the multi colored yarns, they can make a really colorful weaving when you add a few complimentary or contrasting colors or you can keep it more simple by using the multi colored yarns with neutrals. It’s so much fun!

Me: What are your favorite fibers? Do you use acrylic?

Cassie: When I first began weaving I ONLY used acrylics because I had never used any type of yarn in my entire life. I have no background in fibers what so ever so this has all been such a learning experience for me. In the past year I have learned so much about all the different types of yarns and fibers and am constantly still learning so much. I am truly obsessed. Some of my favorites to work with are merino wool and baby alpaca. They are so beautiful and incredibly soft. I was in the dark about natural fibers and hand dyed yarns and now I am always on the hunt. I had no clue what roving was and now I am always using it. I would recommend working with natural fibers every chance you get. They are such great quality and have such a beautiful look. Now, I mainly use all natural fibers and hand dyed yarns in my weavings but I still will use acrylics from time to time if I love the color enough.

Thank you so much Cassie for your advice! Is it just me, or do you want to pull out all your yarns and start mixing and matching colors now?

You can find Cassie’s work in her shop at Wild Plum Co where she is currently creating a lot of custom weaves (including one I just ordered for myself. I couldn’t help it after looking at all her beautiful weaves!) And if you want some daily eye candy like the pictures featured in this post, follow her on Instagram here!

What colors do you gravitate towards in your weaving? Do you experiment with bold colors or prefer a more muted palate? I usually do a mix of neutral with bold, but now I’m a little inspired to try more bold colors.

Happy Weaving!

Weaving Wishlist

Weaving Wishlist || Roving Textiles Large Loom

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing with you the large loom by Roving Textiles. For those of you looking to upgrade to a large and in-charge loom, Michelle of Roving Textiles just started selling a loom that is 30 inches by 30 inches! That is over 2 feet square!! How crazy awesome is that? I do not yet have the guts to tackle such a large weave, haha. But if you’re like me, you could always warp just a part of this loom and work on smaller weaves until you get your courage up. Or dare I even suggest, you can create a rad diptych. What is a diptych, some of you might be thinking. Well as far as weaving goes, it’s when you create two woven pieces that relate to each other. They can be exact mirror images of each other or a cohesive design that runs across the two pieces. You could also make a triptych, which is a cohesive design across three panels.

Here are a few links to examples of diptychs and triptychs:

@mandismoothhill on Instagram has beautiful examples, diptych 1 and diptych 2
@janelle_pietrzak on Instagram (the artist behind All Roads and one of the reasons I got into weaving) has these amazing examples, diptych and triptych

See how each weave could stand alone, but together they create a cohesive wall hanging. I simply love it, and this large loom would be perfect for making them. You would just warp the whole loom up and then weave both halves at once!

The great thing about this Roving Textiles loom is that it comes with arms, so that it can stand upright on a table or on your floor, which is an amazing back saving feature. You especially would have to bend a lot making something so large if your loom were on the floor, so these arms are a backsaver. It also has screws that will keep it tight in the corners, which is a feature I really love. These looms are handcrafted by Michelle’s dad, and they are simply beautiful!

Michelle also has some smaller handmade lap looms, beautiful weaves, and other fiber creations she has made for sale at her Roving Textiles shop, so check it out! And for those of you who might like to follow along with Michelle’s day-to-day creations you can find her here on Instagram.

I would love to hear, what is your biggest loom size? Are you braver then me and ready to try a large loom? Do you love the look of a diptych as much as I do? Maybe I will get a larger loom, so I can make a diptych (yikes!)

Weaving Techniques

Weaving Techniques || Adding Faux Warp Fringe

As promised I have another weaving concept to share with you from this blue organic weave I made. If you’ve been reading my posts a lot, you may have noticed that I usually weave upside down, or top to bottom. I like working in this way because I feel like it gives me more freedom to decide on what fringe I want after I have completed the main body of my weave.

That doesn’t mean everyone has to weave in this way, if you like to start with the fringe and work your way up, then do it!

While weaving this weave my intention was to have a simple warp thread fringe, which means I would just secure my weave with the hem stitch and then let my warp threads hang long under my weave. However, when I finished my weave, I liked it better with the bottom of the weave remaining the part that was facing me. This was a problem, because as you can see if this picture below I only had maybe 2 inches of warp thread, and I wanted really long warp threads hanging down. Here is how I fixed my issue:

step 1| I wove a hem stitch to secure my weave on top and bottom.

step 2| I figured out the length that I wanted my warp fringe to be, then cut warp threads to twice that length. I then pulled down my hem stitch and rya knotted one warp thread per hem stitch. I made the rya knots on the back of the weave, because the front part of the rya knot shows more and I wanted this to be almost invisible.

step 3| I pulled the rya knot tails down through the hem stitch weave with my tapestry needle, so that they aligned with the true warp threads. And then pushed my hem stitch tight against the rest of the weave, doing my best to hide my warp thread rya knots.

step 4| Next I cut the weave off the loom, you can see how I finished and hung the top here. On the bottom, I took the cut warp threads and pulled them through the back of the weave. Leaving the rya knot fake warp threads hang.

step 5| I then tied the rya knot warp threads in a knot right under the hem stitch to make sure they were secure. This is not a completely necessary step since the weave would have held, but I wanted to tie it off.

step 6| on the back side of the weave, I then tied together four of the true warp threads with a knot and then trimmed the edges. This completely finished off the bottom of my weave.

This technique can work, if you’re weaving on a smaller loom, that wouldn’t leave you with a lot of extra warp threads. This is also useful if you want a warp fringe that is a different color then the warp threads you wove on.

Have you tried a warp fringe on your weaves before? What do you think of the look? Do you prefer a fuller fringe on weaves? I really like a lot of fringe on weaves, but for this weave, it just would have taken away from the design so the simple fringe fits it better.

Happy Weaving!

Weave Experiments

Weave Experiments || Weaving My Feelings

If you’ve been around my blog a lot, then you have seen this weave in more then one tutorial (hem stitch & a new way to hang my weave). And I actually have another tutorial from this weave that I’ll post later this week!A major part of what I love about weaving, is that it relaxes me (well usually). Most of my weaves I make with an idea that is more inspired by the outside world, but for this weave I was very inspired by an internal struggle I was dealing with at the time. My youngest son had turned 2, which is so far away from being a baby. At least during age 1 I can convince myself he is still baby-ish. Then my oldest son was approaching 4. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think change and grow are horrible things, and I’m actually excited by being able to share more and more of the world with my sons as they get older. I think my emotional issue was more in that we are happy staying a family of four, so I was mourning the passing of our family’s baby stage. With my boys growing up, they need me less each day. So my thoughts were very much back on when I was pregnant with my first son. Back then, the future was so exciting and scary all at once as I thought about having my first baby. I did my best to stay relaxed, well at least at the end of the day. I would sit in bed and focus on the little person growing inside and concentrate on relaxing and happy thoughts. When I did this, especially in the first trimester when I couldn’t feel the baby’s movements, I often pictured the forming baby as a light and warmth inside the darkness of my body. This weave is a representation of that bond with my son. It’s the closest we ever were to each other and ever will be and so when I finished this weave I gave it to him. Which in his 4 year old world, he said thank you, and then went about more important things like playing, ha!

I love the organic shape to this weave, and it was very fun to create, since I didn’t force an exact look. I just had a general idea and kept adding colors as I went. I also made sure to add different yarn weights to give this piece more interest.Making this weave really helped me acknowledge and let go of those emotions that were weighing on me and that is such a great thing to be able to do.

Have you ever created something to express how you were feeling at the time? Do you find it harder or easier to create from emotions? I love to hear what inspires others to create!

Happy Weaving!

Weaving Techniques || How to Weave Roving

For those who are curious about weaving with wool roving, but haven’t tried it just yet, this post is for you. Wool roving is a beautiful way to add texture and volume to your weaves and it’s really easy to use too. So what is wool roving? There are a lot of steps to change fleece into yarn (if you want to know more, I recently read a great post about the process here). To give you a general idea, it is wool that has been processed to the point where it is ready to be spun into yarn. So roving is kind of like a very puffy yarn.

I’m going to show you how to plain weave with roving, and also how to soumak with roving. To be technical, what I am using in my weave is called wool top. Wool roving and wool top are visually the same more or less. The difference is wool top is processed by hand and all fibers are going in the same direction. Wool roving is processed by a mill so not all the fibers are going in the same direction and roving tends to be fuzzier. The directions for weaving roving and top are the same.

To start I gently separated an amount of fiber at the width I wanted. I then cut the amount off at the length I desired. For the plain weave, I cut a piece that was about 3 inches longer on both ends then the area I wanted it to cover. This allowed me to fluff the roving and also have enough ends to weave in. For the soumak weave, I cut a piece that was double the area that I wanted to weave, plus the 3 inches extra for both ends.

Roving Plain Weave

step 1| I put some support rows in my weave before adding my roving. The support rows are important because roving is incredibly stretchy and has little structure of it’s own, so it will not stop your warp threads from spreading and trust me you don’t want your warp threads to spread after you take it off the loom. You can put in just two support rows if you don’t want them to show much.

step 2| Next I took the very edge of my roving and plain wove it between a few warp threads. This will be in the back of my weave and will secure my roving.

step 3| I then start weaving my roving just as I would a plain weave, however since it is so thick, I need to pick up the warps and bring the roving through with my fingers. As you can see in the picture, I’m weaving the roving at a diagonal so that I don’t pull it straight.

step 4| Once the roving is woven, I then use my fingers to slide it up the warps into place and also pinch it and pull a little to fluff it. At this point you can really play around with the roving to shape it how you want.

step 5| To finish the roving, take the roving end and weave it in some of the back warps to secure it

Roving Soumak Weave

step 1| I’ve posted the steps for creating the soumak weave here and you can follow those steps to soumak weave your roving. Again I would recommend weaving it with your fingers due to the thickness of it and the fact that too much stress on the roving might pull the fibers apart. For this weave, I’m following these soumak steps (video of process here):

Cut a long piece of yarn
Loop it around the first or last warp thread (first in my case as I am weaving left to right)
Spread the two pieces of yarn, take the cut ends and thread them through the middle and under the next warp thread and out through the middle again (always through the middle!)
Repeat!!!!

This soumak weave technique is much quicker, but also I found that it makes creating the soumak with roving much easier. So pick which soumak technique you want to use and follow it with the roving.

step 2| Once the soumak is woven, take your roving ends and weave them in a few of the back warp threads to secure the roving.

I also wanted to mention that I made my soumak weave with the roving on the warps by itself, and then filled in the regular yarn weaving. This is because it is easier to weave the roving on bare warps that will let me pull them up pretty wide. If I had woven all my warps and then added the roving it would have been harder to pull the warp threads up to fit the roving in.

I was really excited to write this post, because I just love how roving looks in weaves. Have you tried adding wool roving to your weaves yet? Did you run into any issues? I was apprehensive myself before trying it, but it works pretty similarly to regular yarn.

Happy Weaving!

Creative Links

Hi friends! I had a long weekend filled with events for my sister’s wedding! Yay! But I’m kind of feeling like the back of an unfinished weaving (too cheesy? I’m actually ok with that). As I recuperate today from entertaining out of town guests, I wanted to share some creative links that you might like to check out, since you obviously like to create too!

For those who are fiber obsessed like me, check out this post by Amanda that shows how she takes fleece and turns it into yarn! I really would like to try my hand at spinning some day so I found this post to be so interesting.
We’re past my boys’ birthdays for the year, but I’m always looking for a good birthday party idea that would be fun for the kids and hold their interest. The art party that Jen put together for her daughter is the cutest idea! I would love to have my older son do this next year. That cupcake idea is just too cute!
I find Viktorija’s art to be so fun! It always brings a smile to my face. And this DIY to paint a Plant Portrait using watercolor is no exception to her fun style.
I haven’t done this yet, but I love the idea of getting an old piece of furniture and painting it into something new and exciting! When I finally get the time (or will-power) to do this, I’m definitely following this blog post that has great steps on how to properly paint old wood furniture. I LOVE the orange color Deanne picked!

Don’t worry I’ll be back this week with another exciting weaving tutorial. I’d love for you to fill me in with what you’re working on too! Did you spend your weekend weaving? Or maybe you had a completely different project you’ve started (like painting old furniture). Or maybe you had a perfectly low-key weekend of fun (I’m hoping to have one of those soon!)

Happy Weaving!

Weaving Techniques

Weaving Techniques || Double Warping Your Loom

My notched loom has pretty wide gaps and that causes wide gaps between my warp threads. It isn’t a problem as I’ve made some very lovely wall hangings on it. But I was thinking that I would like to try double warping it for this next weave I’m working on.

The more warp threads you have, the more uniform and smooth your weave will become as the warp better holds the weft in place.

In case you also have a loom with larger gaps like me, here is how I double warped my loom. I first started by warping my loom as normal (those directions can be found here). Once I warped it as far as I wanted, I then started bringing my warp thread around the same notches in the opposite direction. This obviously made it so I had two warp threads around each notch (except for that last one which I used as a pivot point for my warp).

Once I got my warp thread back to my starting point on the loom, I then tied it off as I normally would. I next took some cotton worsted weight yarn I had and measured out a piece that would wind around my loom width a little more then three times. After I cut the yarn, I double knotted it around my frame towards the bottom then wove a plain weave across the warp threads. Since my loom was double warped, weaving the first row of the yarn was more like passing it between upper and lower warp threads, which you can see in the picture. When I reached the other side of my loom, I wrapped the yarn around the frame once and wove back in the other direction. This required more attention, as I had to make sure I separated the warp threads in the correct order. After weaving the second row, I then went through each warp thread with my tapestry needle and pushed the warp threads over so that they had a more uniform separation. I then looped my yarn around the loom frame and wove a third row. As my warp threads were more established in an order, this was an easier row to weave. When I reached the side of my frame loom, I double knotted my yarn to the frame.

These three threads will anchor my warp threads into place, which is why I tied them to my loom. They will not be part of my weave, and I will actually be able to re-use the yarn once my weave is complete and I untie it.

As you can see in this picture, even though my whole loom is double warped, the top shows how much of a gap there is when the loom is warped normally and the bottom shows the gap for when the loom is double warped. There is a big difference. I think I won’t separate and anchor my warp threads at the top, because I will be weaving bottom to top, so as I weave my warp threads should separate more. If while I weave, this is not the case then I’ll probably anchor the top too, but we’ll see.

And if you’re wondering about the story behind this loom, as I’ve shared before it is a loom made for children. It’s the Melissa & Doug Loom, but I do not mind weaving on it at all. It works for normal weaving too and I’ve made quite a few weaves on this loom. The back story is, when I started weaving I was using my Frame DIY loom (which I still use!) and my parents told me for my birthday they wanted to buy me a real loom, which I was like um yes please! And they asked me to send them some loom suggestions, which I did. Well my birthday comes and they give me my gift…and it was this Melissa & Doug Loom, which I had not even seen before. Let me tell you, I had to put on my poker face! I was just shocked like, oh my gosh, my parents did this super nice gesture and got me a loom for kids. But honestly, I’m never going to complain about being given a gift by someone, especially if they put a lot of thought into it and the thought of this gift really meant a lot to me! So I was like, I’ll just give it a go, and it actually worked like a loom, haha surprise! Plus it has this cool feature of detachable feet, so you can stand it upright on a table or use it without the feet in your lap. My dad also later explained to me that, he was looking at the loom suggestions I had sent him and noticed that all of them were a fit pieces together loom, which he said would become loose over time with use. He had wanted to get me a loom that screws together, so that they can’t become loose. I really appreciated that he put that much consideration into the gift.

Does anyone else have a loom story that you’re slightly embarrassed by? What was your first loom? Did you make it or buy a loom? Have you upgraded or do you still use the same loom? I’d love to hear from you.

I’ve added some links at the top of the blog to make it more convenient for all you great readers (whoop-whoop!!). There is a link to my shop, so you can treat yourself to something pretty. A quick link resource page that contains all my weaving technique posts. And last, but not least, a link to all the video tutorials I have made. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Weaving!

A Little About Me

Hi everyone! I updated my About page with some more details, a better explanation of The Weaving Loom, and a little more about myself. Since no one regularly looks at the About page, I thought I’d share it in a post also, to help you get to know me better.

About The Weaving Loom

Back when I was interested in weaving, there were many different resources to find out how to do the basics, but at the time there wasn’t any one place to go to. I searched for resources and taught myself how to weave through those resources and also through my own trial and error. As I gained experience weaving, I still would see brand new beginners asking about where to find out how to do different techniques, so I decided to create The Weaving Loom. I’m so happy I did too, because I really enjoy sharing what I’ve have learned, including the ways I’ve done things wrong. My goal for this website is to have a point of access for beginner weavers and also those looking to expand on what they already know, by trying something new.

I’m on my own weaving journey, so I definitely don’t have all the answers, but I love to share what I do know. I also want to encourage you to experiment and learn through many different outlets. There are many books to learn from and if you have the ability to attend a weaving class, then definitely do so. There is much more then one way to do things, so it is very valuable to learn from many different people.

I’m also more then happy to answer questions people have that they may be struggling with. If you have an issue send me an email at kate@theweavingloom.com and if possible, I will help!

About Me

My name is Kate, I live just outside of Chicago with my husband, two sons, and my silly french bulldog, Lou. Follow along with my weaving day-to-day here.

Some things about me:

I’m a long time lover of fiber arts and have dabbled in knitting, crochet, embroidery, but fell hard for weaving
I LOVE books and often I’m reading or listening to audiobooks (I’m always looking for good book recommendations)
I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems and a master’s degree in Finance
I put my career on hold to stay home with my two young boys
Both of my boys were talking at a younger age and I’m pretty sure it’s because I talk to myself… a lot
I’m a secret cat lady. It’s a secret because I haven’t own a cat in about 6 years and it’s not looking like I’ll get one anytime soon. Seriously, I had cat posters all over my bedroom as a tween, and I may or may not have worn shirts with cats on them to school.
I’m a sock person, as in I don’t like walking around barefoot. Is that weird? Never mind, don’t tell me
I often make up little nonsense song ditties, that I sing out loud around the house
I’m a morning person, I used to wake up before my alarm everyday until I had kids, which is coincidentally when I started drinking coffee
I love helping people and solving problems, which if you have sent me an email with a question already, then you know 😉

I’m extremely thankful for all the lovely and talented people I have met through this blog and social media. Thank you for stopping over at my blog, you’re the reason I put all this time and effort into The Weaving Loom and I really hope you enjoy it!

Happy Weaving!

Weaving Techniques || More Soumak Fun

Today I’m going to show you how to use the soumak weave to create a chain look on your weave. You can find my first post on the soumak weave here. The basic pattern for the soumak is over two warps, loop around, over two warps, loop around, etc. In my first soumak post, I created a braid in my weave, but this time I made a chain.

I wove both soumak “stitches” the same way, so how did I get a different look between the two? Well in my first post I was using multiple threads, so when I wove my soumak, the bulk of the threads caused a tight braid. This time I just used one thread, which allowed the thread to space more, allowing gaps to show through the soumak “stitches”. If I didn’t want gaps showing then I would have passed over just one warp and looped around, instead of passing over two warps. Passing over just one warp would have tightened up my soumak and covered the gaps, but for this I wanted the gaps so that my soumak could look more like a chain than a braid. What I like most about making this chain is that there is some space that shows through your weave, adding interest.

It always amazes me the small changes you can make while weaving to get a much different look. What are you working on now? I would love to hear about it, and if you’re on Instagram then tag weaves you created using tutorials from my site (even if it was just a part of the weave) with #TWLtutorial so I can see them and possibly share!

Happy Weaving!

Weave Experiments

Weave Experiments || My Curly Weave

This weave was the 5^th one I have ever made. I mostly played around with this one and let the fibers do what they wanted, which ended up being really fun and taught me about manipulating thread. I was using acrylic threads more when I created this weave, however now I tend to stay away from acrylic. Not because there is anything wrong with it, but over time I have noticed that it has a fake look about it that I just don’t really like. You know, like the difference between real and fake flowers. The white thread I used was an acrylic thread, and while knitting with it, I just kept pulling a really long thread of it through my warp threads and as it tangled I just let it sit there, giving my weave a lot of texture. I really liked how it turned out with all that texture. Sometimes you want your weave to look nice and uniform, but sometimes it’s fun to play with the thread and be much less cautious, letting it do what it wants.

When I want a messier weave, some things I try are twisting my thread and then weaving it through the warp or letting one weft pass be looser and the next be tighter. Even if you just do this on a sample weave piece, it’s good to experiment and see how your threads react. It also can lead to ideas for future weaves.

How do you approach making a new weave? Do you have a set idea that you follow through the whole way, or do you experiment as you go?

Happy Weaving!

Kate
