Round Doodle Weaving - ARTBAR - Fatpierecords-Art

My mind is constantly seeking to in shape in time to weave. I am these kinds of a amateur, and never definitely have a model, but I adore enjoying all around with color and form. This time I tried using a round doodle weaving employing an embroidery hoop! I didn’t follow anybody’s directions, I just designed it up as I went along. I am confident there are superior techniques to do this, but I just applied tape, yarn, and a glue gun.

making the warp from yarn for a round weaving

How to make a round doodle weaving:

1. Established up the warp (these are the vertical threads). I did this by cutting a entire bunch of threads and then taping them to the side of the hoop. I did not evaluate, just eye-balled. I also loosely taped the hanging threads up to the facet which is why it appears like there is so significantly tape.

2. Start out weaving. Just about anything goes, in this article. Refer back to my 1st doodle weaving submit for far more specific directions. Just start out and end underneath. And use a fork to drive down the weft (individuals are the horizontal threads).

3. I use a “shoelace” approach when weaving whereby I wrap the end of the yarn with a piece of tape so that it is less difficult to weave with. This is simply because I cannot discover my plastic weaving needles. But it’s also since I just cannot see very well more than enough to thread the needle. This system operates definitely nicely for me. It is speedy and easy.

4. You really do not have to go from base to prime when doodle weaving. You can start off wherever and shift around until it is all loaded up. I at some point want to weave like I would attract, but for now I instinctively go bottom to best. You can also go back again in and fill spaces if there are gaps. The fork genuinely allows to make it all tight.

5. When finished, I pulled off the blue tape that I made use of to loosely hold the finishes, but I left the tape that holds the warp. I produced absolutely sure you couldn’t see it when placing the outer hoop more than the internal hoop. Tighten the outer hoop as limited as you can.
