@icekat83 Yeah, I was using hemp yarn, it had a nasty habit of sticking to itself. Very tough, but pretty rough, didn't weave well. Sliding the cards back and forth separated out the lines.
What inkle loom are you using? Is it an Ashford? Do you have an opinion on the Gilmore inkle loom with the heddle tower for card weaving? I'm puzzling over which loom to buy, primarily for card weaving. Any advice would be much appreciated.
The smaller, upper group alternates. The lower packs of cards always turn the same direction, but the upper packs switch from forward to backward rotation every four turns. The video portion shown just happens to be during a period where all the packs turn forward.I keep them separate at all times, because I'd rather not dig out the alternating packs every time it's due for a reversal.
The pattern was found in Candace Crockett's book 'Card Weaving', which is an excellent buy.
Thanks for this video - i had no idea how to picture this from online tutorials that didn't have pictures! I want to try weaving cord ties for an amautiq ;)
Nice. I think everyone who cardweaves wants to use the ram's horn pattern.

Why do you slide the cards down and then up again? Does it smooth the threads or something?

That is wonderful. Seems easy for you maybe, but this is tons of confusing. Impressive you got it figured it out. Thanks for sharing.

Can you tell me why you separate the 2 groups of cards since you turn them the same way. Where can I get this pattern? Thanks
