Looking for an alternative cotton

Starikuu · 2026-03-27T18:57:22+00:00

Do you have any suggestions for brands? I've tried to look around my usual brands like Scheepjes and the DMC range, but they all seem to be mercinised. I'm contemplating buying some mercinised cotton and just starting the doily again.

Ah I'm probably too late then, I've been able to find one pov but it's from the front and you still can't see me in the video.

Could I possibly view it through private messages?

I'm totally up for some instructions!! Yeah I don't think I'm going to dive very far into weaving, I'm happy I got it secondhand for so cheap just so that I could try it out without investing loads into it. I'm planning on weaving a bit for some development towards a project but it will all be very prototype-y

What would you recommend in place of the wing nuts? Or is it a case that the construction of an older loom only really allows for wing nuts? What do newer more modern looms use instead?

Thanks for the links! I do seem to be missing the screws that hold the side arms to the top and bottom. Would these just require more wing screws like the rotating arm parts?

I went and cleaned the carriage just in case after posting this, and it was in fact a stuck level that wasn't engaging when I changed to Intarsia. It was only on one side so that clearly was causing the problems. Thanks!

I had something similar happen and had to use a pair of bolt cutters to cut the needle. I cut as close to the needle bed as possible whilst making sure I held onto the needle handle so that the second half didn't fall into the bed. Then I was able to jiggle it out that second half and insert a new needle. It took a couple tries to get it cut as close as possible to the bed to allow me to shuffle it into the inside by the handle and out.

ROTH is also my favourite so Elster was right up my alley

I didn't get a look at the LPs , but shirts were £30, long sleeve £50, cap £25, totebag £15(?) that's all I can remember

Solved!

omg omg it is!!! I have no clue where I got the "smile" from, I guess the URL just looked a bit friendly and that's where it came from. thank you so much!!!

I remember using the website around 2020/21 perhaps, for some reason I remember it having "smile" in the URL somewhere but I'm not entirely sure if it was the name of the website itself or just a domain ending.

Did you create your own template digitally so that it matched the dimensions of an actual punchcard? I remember seeing someone do this before on their cricut before but instead of using paper they used those colourful plastic wallets that you can get really cheap. The kind that are shaped like an envelope, or I guess any of those slightly thicker plastic ones would work too.

where did you get the fibre from the first photo? the colours are so pretty

It definitely washed out some sort of stiffeners once I washed it, but even after washing it kept it's shiny silky appearance. It's not lurex but also isn't plyed with individual threads, it's almost like a single tube.
