1. Welcome!: I want to live in lines. A beginner's guide to friendly leaving My name is Attari Salva on the river Worker kind will be craft Today I'm going to show you all the basic moving techniques to get you started leaving your own how women tapestries have included a class project for you to practice. Although the techniques that I'm going to be showing today I hope you enjoy the class. 2. What You'll Need: what you'll need. Basic living tools and materials. Here's the lease of basic living tools materials. You'll meet a frame loom. This is what holds the warp threads in leaving a weaving come. This is a tool we use to push the wolfed in place. I will explain what left is in just a few minutes. A Living in a tapestry needle. These are common tools used for carrying the weft across the lawn. The tapestry needle is great for at in small and intricate details to your tapestry, especially when you're working in tight spaces. A pair of craft Caesar's every weaver and is a good pair of craft. Caesar's in their toolbox. You'll need them to cut your yarn and to help you cut off the tapestry after loom. Once it's finished yarn to weave the first set of yarn I have here is what I'm going to be using as my weft. The left is the horizontal tread that passes over and under alternating warp threats. This is the body of my tapestry I have selected of already of wool and alpaca yarns for this piece. This cotton yarn is what I'm going to be using as my warp. The warp is the internal structure or skeleton of our we've. And because is usually under tension, it is recommended to use a law stretching cotton yarn to prevent breakage. During leaving, you will also need at the same sketch off the tapestry you want to create and a wooden dowel for hanging. You're finished piece. 3. Setting Up The Loom: setting up the loom Work in the room before we can begin weaving We must first set up the room This part of the process is known as warping the loom I started making a slip knot at the end of my yarn can loop it around the top left back off my loom Pulling the warp down and around the bottom left peg and up again to the next top one Making sure I keep some tension in the warp As I go I continue repeating the steps until I've reached the last bag of my loom Or until I reached the desire with of my tapestry. Once I reached the last bag, I make another nod and loop it around it, making sure I tied my warp on and off the same warping more. Now my Loomis already for me to begin with 4. Starting Your Tapestry: starting your tapestry sumac technique. I like to start my tapestries with a single row of sumac. There's secures my work and prevents it from becoming undone when I'm removing it from the loom. So Mac is an old weaving technique in which they weft in circles each warp thread. This is also a great technique for adding texture to your pieces. Let's start by loading some left into a weaving needle. I'm using around two yards here. We want to have enough left to complete our row, but not too much. That is difficult to work with. Starting on the left side of my loom, I am securing the wife by tying it to the first warp thread with my weaving needle. I'm going to go over the next warp thread. Think coming back around it, pulling the weft as I do. So one more time I'm going over the next warp threat than coming back around it, pulling the worth as I do so using my weaving calm, I'm going to align the road, making sure it is straight. Now we're ready to move on to the next technique 5. Creating Lines: creating lines playing. We've technique playing. We've is the most basic of weaving techniques where the weft this woman over and under the warp threads, using the plane with technique. Let's talking the two inch tail left over from our so Mac road to the back of the loom. I'm just going to weave it under and over the warp threats. This will assure me a clean finish and eliminate the need for me to go back and live it in later, always making sure to use my weaving come to push it down in place. I'm going to be getting adding my plane. We have using my weaving needle in an over under under over sequence. Carry my west through. I'm creating a bubble with it. This will prevent me from pulling the wolf too tight, and it's commonly known as bubbling, always pushed the wolfed in place. Using the weaving comb, I'm going to continue repeating the same steps to add a total of four rows of plain weave to my tapestry 6. Creating Texture: creating texture right and not take me. Ryan. Nuts is a technique that produces a shaggy light texture on the surface of the weaving and can be placed anywhere within the tapestry. I'm going to use this technique to at the three layers of French I have here in my design sketch. First, I need to start out by cutting some yarn. The easiest and quickest way to cut enough pieces of yarn of the same length is to use a template. I've decided to use a piece of carver for my template. The length of the carport will depend on how long I want my friend just to be taking my template and wrapping the yarn around it until I have enough. Then, with my craft, Caesar's, I will cut them into half the number of pieces of yarn you're using. Your IA will depend on how thick or full you want to make your Ryan nuts amusing 45 Bunches of five here in this piece. Now I will gather my first bunch of yarn and place them on top of the first to work threats . Then look the ends down and around and up to the center of the war pits. Then I'm going to pull down on the end slightly to place the Ryan nuts. I'm going to repeat the steps until I've reached the end of the road. I'm going to loving my Ryan nuts by adding two rows of plain leave, making sure I use my weeding comb to push them down in place. I will repeat the steps to add the other two rows of French A having my design sketch. 7. Creating Shapes: creating shapes, diamonds. I added a few more rows of plain weave to up high to my tapestry. Now I can begin weaving my diamond shapes before I can place my first diamond. I need to find the center of my tapestry by counting the number of warp threats to determine the center. I have 46 warping threats here, which means I will start my first diamond on threats 23 24. Using the plane with technique, I am leaving six rows of plain weave before I increased one warp thread on each side. I do this for a total of eight times. - This will be the middle off my diamond shape. Now I am going to deduct one warp thread on each side to make the tough part of my shape. - I am going to continue living the remaining of my diamonds. You seem different collar left. I need to start filling in the blank spaces in between the diamonds. I will use my tapestry needle to interlock my west and finish my sign 8. Finishing Techniques: finishing techniques, Taking your tapestry off the loom. I'm going to finish my tapestry the same way I started it with a row of So Mac. This will help secure the peace while taking it off. When I reached the end of the road, I'm going to weed in my left under my so make and using my craft. Caesar's cut off the yarn using my weaving calm. I am going to push the soon back into place. Now I am going to cut off the tapestry off my loom, cutting us close to the pegs as possible. Then, very carefully, I am going to turn my tapestry around and remove it completely off the room to start cleaning the back of my piece. I'm going to cut the excess yarn with my craft. Caesar's Then I'm going to tight in all my work threats ends with the square knot to give my tapestry a clean finish. Look, I am going to weave in my war friends using a tapestry. Finally, I am going to cut the exes yarn off my warp threats. Now we're ready to start hanging our peace 9. Hanging Your Tapestry: hanging your tapestry, setting up your tapestry and a dowel using my tapestry needle on Songyuan. I'm going to set up my tapestry, and I wouldn't doubt for hanging start by tying and not to secure the yarn around the dowel Then. So the tapestry to the Dow, by adding 17 speeches securing the arm would not before cutting it off from moving on to the other end to do the same. - I'm going to Tyson Yard to the dowel for hanging it. I always like to use a laser contact with my brand name and added to all of my tapestries the's tapestries now ready to be display. 10.
