  • what kind of loom are you using? how much is it?

  • @stefannhika

    The loom is a Schacht 46" eight harness loom made of cherry wood. Pricing can be found on the internet.

  • Hi, What book did you find that cool pattern for the dishcloth, I am also a beginner and would love to learn how to make them.

  • The pattern, "Keep it Simple Towels," is from Best of Handwoven - Top Ten Towels on Four Shafts. It's an eBook available for download through Interweave.

  • wow, I have 2 floor looms but need to buy a video to understand how to warp it. Do you sell your dvd's.

  • Hello Crafty Bear - I do not have a DVD, but there are a number of excellent videos here on YouTube. Are you looking to warp front to back or back to front. If you want to warp front to back (which I do), I would recommend you get Tom Knisely's DVD. It is excellent. Available through The Mannings in Pennsylvania. Well worth it.

  • Loved your video!! I am also a beginner and you are great at making videos! What is the device that is holding your project?

  • Wow! Thanks for putting your videos online. I'm getting a floor loam soon and I'm a rank beginner.

  • how long does it take to weave 18" x 36"?

  • Thanks for being so distinct and such a good teacher. Your video helped tons, thanks.

  • I'm an aspiring weaver and found this video to be very helpful. Thank you!

  • I has just listed my loom for sale online because I couldn't "get it". But after seeing your video I'm so inspired to try again that I'm pulling my listing down now! Thanks so much :)

  • Hi Great to watch your simple clear explanations of the basics of weaving. I am a beginner having just obtained a rigid heddle loom. I feel inspired by your film, thanks.

  • Thank you for this very informative video. I am not familiar with the 8 system, mine are all 4s. I am especially interested in how you get the warp on. I will definitely look into getting the book and magazine you suggest and keep learning and weaving.
