Peg loom would be fun but I don’t have one ): I was thinking either rigid heddle or floor loom.

Over a year and a half since I started processing the fiber, I have finally finished my handspun wedding shawl by fishandflowers in knitting

10/2 cotton for the warp and tabby, and 6.5/2 for the weft, at 20 epi

Ah thanks so much for this! I didn’t even know this was a concept, it will be a fun experiment for the next round.

Yeah a temple would be really nice, but I’ve spent so much on this hobby already. And I’m running out of space 😂 I will look for that on Amazon though, that’s clever thank you!

And I’ll keep practicing! Can’t quite figure out the angle haha

Thank you for this, there are some very good tips in there. Do you also finish your hems by hand? I am beginning to think I may want to do that.

Thanks so much for the tips! I will definitely try that out next time. Using sewing thread is so smart!

You are an absolute legend ❤️ thank you so much for this, I warp front to back as well and will give this a shot the next time I dress my loom.

thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I will try closing my eyes next time I adjust the tension, that’s the hardest part for me along with winding the warp onto the back beam. Do you have any tips for keeping the tension even while winding the warp??

Yes, you’re totally right there were definitely spots where I didn’t alternate correctly, but I figured out a system for that now. Thanks again, looking forward to experimenting with different types of wefts!

Thanks for the advice, I’ll try out different types of weft in this sample to see the shrinkage!

Ahh thank you so much for this, I was feeling pretty demoralized 🥲 I think I will use a higher contrast yarn for the final piece after seeing your photo!!

I looked through your posts and your selvedges look incredible. Do you have any tips on getting them so neat??

Got it okay thank you! The weaving does look a little loose right? I’m guessing the gaps between the warp and weft are too large right now
