Can you combine the Kircher loom and Ashford comb?
Hello, my dears, I have discovered a new hobby for myself and am therefore still a bit ignorant. My parents still have a Kircher System W loom (60x80cm), but unfortunately no longer have a weaving comb. My question is, has anyone had any experience combining the much cheaper Ashford weaving combs (for rigid heddle) with…
Is this a good idea (woven cell phone sock for a birthday)?
I wove a cell phone sock for my former caregiver's birthday. Do you think that's a good decision? Because it's hard to find something suitable for her. I don't think she eats chocolates. I once gave her some chocolates. She wanted me to keep them. A lot of people probably give her flowers. So I…
Handicrafts – weaving, knitting, crocheting and sewing – to all young people, are you interested in this too?
Hi everyone, I wanted to know if this is primarily of interest to young people. Families with children are also welcome to get in touch and ask if their children are interested in this sort of thing. Teenagers and young adults up to their early 30s are also welcome to get in touch. Everyone else…
Do you think I could sell something?
So, assuming I were to produce unique items, like sewing and weaving pieces that no one else has, could I start an online business with them, and would it even be profitable, since many women are skilled at handcrafting? I assume many are. A friend of mine had the idea for me. She suggested I…
Throw away the scarf?
I invested a lot of time in weaving a scarf. But finally, I noticed that there was a loose thread—which also seemed to have broken (I suspect). That makes me kind of sad. All my work would have been for nothing. The woven piece is also quite distorted. Of all the several pieces, I didn't…
Can you weave a colorful tablecloth with the looms ((experiences, opinions) loom size: 28 cm wide, 38 cm long)?
I wanted to weave a tablecloth that was as colorful as possible. But is that possible with a loom? You could sew the pieces together, but would that look good?
Are there different strength threads for stringing looms?
I went to a specialty store and picked up some thread for stringing looms. I think the thread is okay for some projects, but I'm wondering if it's really that tear-resistant if you want to weave something sturdier, for example. The salesperson said yes, but I'm still worried that's not true. Are there different types…
Weaving a sweatband?
It probably works for summer too, right? Is polyester wool also suitable for this?
What do you think of the self-woven and sewn cell phone sock with a string instead of a button?
I made it myself. My first time ever weaving
Can you also weave with thick wool?
I wanted to weave a shopper, the kind of bag that women and girls usually or always carry. I don't have a clue about weaving yet. The bag should still have some stability, even if I wouldn't be putting anything heavy in it. Thick wool = more stability, I'm just assuming. I didn't buy the…
Weaving a shopper (bag), which wool do you use and in what thickness (or whatever you call it)?
I have never been involved with weaving before, except perhaps in elementary school. Hence the question
