Some weaving looms allow you to take the weave of without having to cut the warp threads. Just like before, you can also use the hem stitch to take care of the warp threads. If the loose ends are very long, you can trim them after weaving them in a few stitches.Ĭontinue this process for every single warp thread on both sides. To do this, start off by knotting two adjacent warp threads into a knot and then weave them back in together using a tapestry needle. Just like the loose end of the weft thread, you can take care of the loose warp threads by weaving them back in. If you removed the weave from the loom as shown below, you are left with a bunch of dangling warp threads.Īs usual, there are several ways to take care of these. Frances Laursen 2016년 12월 7일 What to Do With Loose Warp Threads? My 1st mostly completed project: a 4″ x 6″ coaster! Still need to weave in the loose ends. So keep that in mind next time you start weaving. Tying the knots is much easier if you have plenty of space between the loops and the start of your weave. To safely secure the two side strands, you can either weave them back in or simply knot them around the adjacent loop.Do the same process on the other side of your weave.The loops in the middle can be knot individually. You can use an overhand knot or any other knot you prefer. At the two edges, you want to take the loose strand and the adjacent loop and knot them together.Cut the warp thread at the beginning of the weave where the warp is attached to the loom with a knot.Carefully take off all the loop from the nails without tugging or pulling the threads too much.However, to prevent your weave from falling apart and unraveling, it’s important to learn how to finish a weaving loom project the right way. Join my mailing list to receive regular post updates and a free weaving pattern.The last step of any weaving project is always to remove the weave from the loom.įortunately, learning this isn’t as difficult as learning how to warp a loom. Or if you haven’t tried it and aren’t really interested, let me know what you’re working on in the comments below. Have you tried circle weaving yet? I’d love to hear what you think about it compared to normal weaving. I’ll keep sharing more of the circle weaving as I go. You can see an example of both threads below. This worked really well in the center of my weave, it is so thin that it got very close to the center and I really liked how it turned out. But for this circle weaving, I used just one piece of sock yarn thread. ![]() When I normally weave with sock yarn, I will use multiple threads of it at once or combine it with another thread that compliments it, like a worsted weight. The second thread I used was a sock yarn, so it’s super thin. It worked really well and added visual interest. ![]() I started with the thin part of the yarn and wove that around, while the yarn became thicker as I went. The first was a thick and thin, hand-spun thread. I ended up trying two different threads and found I like the outcome. When I wove with worsted weight thread, I didn’t like how much the warp threads were showing in the middle, the worsted weight didn’t get as deep into the center as I had wanted. This way I wouldn’t get confused as to which warp thread was next.Ī second discovery I made was that if I started with a thin thread, it wove much better in the middle. I also noticed that because the warp threads are dis-organized, it was much better if I wove higher up on the warp threads and then pushed my weft down to the center. This is because the warp threads are a bit dis-organized in the center and a plain weave helps align them. I tried some other weave techniques, but didn’t like how they turned out. The first thing I found is, I like a few rounds of plain weave in the center. And actually I like the look of the middle, but I don’t want it to be so apparent. So the thing I found myself doing was wondering how can I weave to take away from the clump and make it less noticeable. As you know, with a normally warped lap loom, there is no over lapping of warp threads. One thing I’ve found to be interesting is the large warp clump in the middle. Since then I’ve been working at it and trying to figure out what works best for me. In a previous post, I showed how to warp a loom for circular weaving ( post 1 and post 2).
