Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques
Hello! I was recently able to purchase a used Heritage Looms card weaving
loom/frame with a set of 100 cards. I have no experience whatsoever with
tablet weaving but I couldn't resist.
(Is it acceptable to use the card weaving and tablet weaving terms
interchangeably?)
However, the frame did not come with instructions. It has a warp and cloth
"beams," both tensioned with ratchets and pawls. I am assuming that I will
thread the cards one at a time, tie the overhand knot for those four
threads, then when all the cards are threaded I will tie onto the warp beam
and wind on the length, moving the cards forward along the warp as needed.
If anybody has a better idea, please advise.
Are there any pro's and con's I should consider regarding using or not using
a loom frame?
I have also been thinking about ordering Candace Crockett's video on
cardweaving. For other techniques, I have found it often more helpful to
own a video that I can play and replay, than it is to attend a short
workshop. I am not entirely sure I need it, since the instructions in
Crockett's book seem pretty straightforward. But often watching the process
being done sheds light on tips and techniques that are hard to learn from
print alone. Anyone have any comments to share about this video?
Thanks in advance.
