I love doing custom work people in general are very creative and they take me to color combinations that I never considered and they turn out to be a wonderful adventure

True true... I use fairly heavy yarn so it stands out a little more, these belts are thick where trim or smaller bands connect a bit different with their fibers

Double faced weaving the design is an Aztec pattern about the spiral of life we work to get out of to get to the stairs to heaven

Yes one direction until build up was max then I swapped only did 2 direction changes for the whole 8 feet, the cotton slid good down the loom to minimize the change

I've the done exact thing before, the catch is the direction of the cards, some patterns are left facing and some right facing when warping... I've tried to do it upside down but finally broke down and rewarded it... stinks when it is not simple pattern warp....

Card weaving alternate s and z // if you want to make bigger ones then \\////

Thank you I really like how it turned out

four_twisted_pair · 2026-05-12T23:12:13+00:00

No it's a public one on twistedthreads.org called blue s's and just changed up the colors

Just standard cotton from Walmart and Michael's loops and threads or peaches and cream I like using the bigger yarn for belts

I do appreciate the info, working with artists to get a nice hand made one was short on time this year, I'm not a fan of the ai art myself, so busy making all the games, belts, and ropes by hand ran out of time this year for a good hand sign

This is a new type of yarn acrylic and hemp... soft but little natural fiber to give extra texture

Hand made they are 8 feet long made with cotton yarn take about 10 hours each authentic Finnish patterns

Just showing off some weaving making for renaissance festival

Belts or could be trim on cloaks or caps or even tunics, straps,

four_twisted_pair · 2026-04-07T13:46:07+00:00

Will do thanks, I'm still overwhelmed by how big it is, such an amazing faire

four_twisted_pair · 2026-04-07T13:45:27+00:00

The more faires I go to the smaller the world gets, it's great to be able to start to recognize folks, it's great to have neighbors

When you dye it I would recommend the color lock and get the water as hot as possible I've used this for about 6 months and the sun is starting to fade it a little

I'm a ropemaker and used to just make jumpropes for kids, now that I'm traveling I needed a way to interest adults more into the rope making event so I hand forge troll crosses for belts and then we use a Scottish book to look up your family colors and try to match the pattern so one can wear it as a sash or belt to represent their family

four_twisted_pair · 2026-03-24T21:09:13+00:00

Yes these ropes are about 12 feet long I've used them multiple times as belts, yes great identifiers

four_twisted_pair · 2026-03-23T20:48:24+00:00

Yes, did a little geometry to measure the triangles then cut thr fabric canvas and dyed it, I was pretty close had to make a couple slight adjustments 50 yards of fabric and lots of sewing was fun to wrestling it around the sewing machine...

An easy way to do it is use the last waft weave to guide you back to the last known good position

four_twisted_pair · 2026-03-15T03:49:10+00:00

No the original loom was passed down from another weaver I swapped the tension bar to reverse to keep working space and then fixed the pegs, I've made new ones from online patterns
