#WEAVEIT PART 1 HOW TO#

In the next post I’m going to show you how to close up that gap in an interesting way that will make our weave look even nicer, so keep an eye out! Because I made sure to place my rows loosely, my gap doesn’t show too much on my loom. You’ll notice that there is a gap between the stripe and the neutral sides. Note: When filling in the sides of your weave, make sure to keep the yarn on the end warps loose so that your yarn rows don’t pull the warp threads apart and create a large gap between the colored stripe and the neutral sides. When that was finished I did the same thing on the right side warp threads, completing my weave. Step5|| I then continued my neutral string down the left warp threads starting at the top rows, just weaving the plain weave until all warp threads were covered and I reached my bottom rows. These rows will create a foundation for my weave that locks in the warp threads. Next, with the same string, I wove 5 rows of the plain weave across all warp threads and below the stripe. Step4|| after my stripe was finished, I took my neutral colored thread (I’m using a twisted cotton string) and wove 5 rows of the plain weave across all warp threads and above the stripe. My colored ombre stripe is about 9 inches in length and about 2 ¼ inches in width. As you can see it made a really pretty and interesting color stripe, all using the basic over/under plain weave. Step3|| I repeated this process with the other 4 color combinations down the length of my weave. This created a bit of a woven ombre look with my yarn. I wove about ½ an inch with the navy, then wove ½ inch with the navy and the denim threads held together, and finished with a ½ inch of just the denim thread. Step2|| taking my first colored pair of yarns (the navy blue & denim), I found the middle of my warp threads and wove some plain weave rows of navy across 12 warp threads. To give you an idea of the scale of my weave, the weave I made has 34 warp threads across and takes up about 6 inches across the loom width. Step1|| warp up your loom ( more details on how to do that here). And also some looms in The Weaving Loom shop. Loom – If you don’t have one I have a cardboard loom DIY or a DIY on how to make a loom from a frame.My colors were: Navy blue & Denim, white & grey I also used a twisted cotton string as my background neutral. Yarn – The best part! I picked out 5 colored yarns with a second yarn that complimented them, so 10 colored yarns in total.Since we’re all going to be using different yarns & looms, I’m writing up the steps in general sizes so that you can make adjustments as you need to.
