This is a work in progress as I try to extract all the useful links to resources – products, sites, articles etc that I have included in my posts for the last two years or so and gather them all here in one place. Hopefully I will be able to add three or four new links to this page each week. I hope that you find it useful!

Hi Ingrid,
I hear that your braiding workshop is coming up soon and you will be having some of our gang there. I hope it all goes well. It is bound to be a lot of fun.

Laverne,
Do you have any documentation on how to wrap your heddle strings while making your warp chain? I know that the Montagnard peoples do it this way and it seems very sensible to me. I wanted to give it a try but am having a hard time figuring out the steps of the process from the pictures I found online. Any help you can offer is much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi Burleigh, I put a video on Youtube showing and explaining the process. It is here:
If you also Google “Rhade warping” you will find the video I took of Montagnard weaver Ju Nie warping. You can watch my explanation first and then watch her doing it. She is so fast!

hello Lavern, thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us. Could you show how to tighten a warp after you have started weaving? I am using homespun cotton and I think some of it stretches more than others. I am half way through a 6 ft leash and now the warp is very uneven.

The best thing Paula is to have a stick of appropriate girth up at the far loom bar which you can slip under the warps that have stretched too much and take up their slack. The stick can be tied to the far loom bar to keep it in place.

Hello Laverne,
I would be interested in purchasing one of the hard copies of your new book
“Warped Faced Pick-Up Patterns if you have any left. Have been following your website when I get time. Have been weaving for about a year and have tried back strap weaving a couple of times. Still trying to get the hang of it.
Thank you.
