A whole new way of thinking about your textiles.

I...Debbie, thank you for leaving me your thoughts. I very nearly bought a knitters loom as I already have a SampleIt loom that I am enjoying using. My hands and fingers are becoming increasingly painful with arthritis and the Saori loom attracted me for its reported ease of use. I will definitely be making my own warps as well as sometimes using the pre-wound warps. I probably made the issues with the first warping look worse than they were as my inexperience made me scared to take the steps that I thought I needed to take to sort it all out. I've watched videos and read books about the warping and I get the impression you can be quite tough on the warp when getting it under tension so I shall be looking to my husband to exert his strength for future warpings. I'm definitely not going to be doing formal weaving with set patterns, I love the freedom of following my own path. I'm hoping too to use some tapestry weaving techniques in my work so I will be following you with interest now that I know where you are :-) I'll drop by soon.

When you come to making your own warp, just let me know if you'd like some help. I'm still not a fan of these looms as they offer very limited weaving capability and are very overpriced, but each to his own! I'm sure you will produce some lovely cloth that pleases you and that's what matters. xxPenellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998257405038464746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632847120981731957.post-82890464428321918492016-01-31T12:16:04.681+00:002016-01-31T12:16:04.681+00:00Its that sort of thing that has put me off buying ...Its that sort of thing that has put me off buying a loom like yours but you obviously got it sorted. Having a ready to use warp must help hugely. Being a tapestry/freeform weaver I haven't the equipment or expertise to start winding a warp from scratch though I do have an Ashford knitting loom which is quite easy to warp. Happy weaving, looking forward to seeing the resultsDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300029654181323351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632847120981731957.post-11318516678167821742016-01-31T11:09:38.245+00:002016-01-31T11:09:38.245+00:00It all sounds terribly complicated but I am glad y...It all sounds terribly complicated but I am glad you didn't give up and have actually produced your first piece of weaving.
