She uses crochet cotton. It's a number 10 weight, but as long as all the threads are the same weight it will be fine. You can get it at most Walmart stores but some of the colors are strange.
What Do you use to string the scarfs like what string? I. Really need to know because I'm starting to card weave and I really want to know what you use
Glad you like the videos. There's a new one coming soon! I've changed the Link to Linda Henderickson's video. It now appears on her website and it looks like she has a DVD out!
I do, indeed have two colors in each of the pattern cards. They are beside each other, not diagonally across from each other. That is A and B holes have the same color and C and B holes have the same color. One color becomes the background color one one side and the pattern color on the other. Thanks for writing.
Your How the Cards Turns videos are fabulous. Thanks for posting them. The link to Linda's video in your video description here has changed, it has been removed by her [I think she posted a better one]. Also, can you say in your video description what colors go in what holes? I'd like to try this. Thanks again.
Great videos! They are very helpful for me. I tried tablet weaving before, but it was kinda difficult to put the threads into the wholes- lots of work, mess and knots. Is there any easy and fast way to do it? Could you recommend some videos or websites?

Linda Hendrikson has a great video out on how to thread all the cards at once. If you type her name into the YouTube site it should be easy to find. I can't seem to get the link to post here. Linda is a forerunner in the card weaving field and an inspiration to card weavers everywhere.
Marni, totally new to card weaving but knew I wanted free control over the pattern. Cool ... you did it for me! But with the selvedge: how do you resolve the twists that build up?

@coriolinum: The twist issue is probably the best reason there is for using heddles. But that wouldn't be card weaving, would it?
Some weavers tie the threads for each of the selvedge cards to a fishing swivel. I've found the tension is not as tight as I like that way so I don't use it. I just keep the selvedge card threads tied separately from the pack so I can undo and untwist them when the twist builds to an unworkable level. I've convinced myself that combing out threads is meditative.
@mustelidmama Breaking it down into single moves helps a lot, doesn't it? Once I understood WHAT and WHY everything needed to happen a certain way it clicked into place quite nicely. Now I want to learn Pickup!
@Inisfail82 well without a scheme is still difficult to me to get into the "zen" of double-face card weaving (but it happens with the normal way of card weaving! XD ).
My next step will be the understanding of the 3- colours method. I sow Guntram's work and...aahhh...I'd like to get familiar with all the thecniques he uses.
Have fun!

@rigidheddleweaving Looks like you have 2 green and 2 white in each of the pattern cards, is this correct?

Glad it helped! I'm working on more videos but they'll have to wait until the spring gardening is done. There's always something, isn't there? ;)

Even since I got to give this a try last summer I have been wanting to do this. This was a great video that was very clear! Thank you for posting it!
