Weave Krokbragd on a Rigid Heddle (Tidy Edges!)

This video shows a simple way to weave krokbragd on a rigid heddle loom with just a pickup stick. I also demonstrate a technique for achieving neat edges in Krokbragd without floating selvedges, which can also be used on a floor loom (or any other kind of loom). Note: The wrapping method takes the pattern edge-to-edge for a very pretty front face of the fabric, but it is not reversible. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– CONTENTS 00:56 Tools & Equipment 03:38 How to get the 3 Sheds 06:10 Why wrap your edges? 07:07 Weave a block (colors ABC) 14:27 Cut off a color 15:29 Weave a block (colors ABB) 17:53 Weave a block (colors AAB) 21:35 Avoid bulge at the edge 22:59 Add a color 27:49 Finished mug rug –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– QUICK VERSION Shed 1: Heddle UP, over-under with pickup stick Shed 2: Heddle DOWN Shed 3: Heddle UP, under-over with pickup stick ABC or ABB color blocks: Start every Shed 1 by wrapping the weft twice over the selvedge thread. No wrapping for weft picks in Shed 2 or 3. AAB or ABA color blocks: No wrapping. Just make sure that the very first pick of the block in Shed 1 goes all the way around the selvedge thread. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– HELPFUL LINKS Notes on Warping: Krokbragd Introduction: Finishing your mug rug: Written pattern available: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– TOOLS & MATERIALS Ashford 10“ SampleIt loom, 7.5 DPI rigid heddle Schacht Tapestry Beater Warp: 8/4 cotton carpet warp (natural) Weft: Lily Sugar ’n Cream cotton yarn (Dazzle Blue, Mod Blue, Hot Lime) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– MUSIC Track: Ikson - Horizon [Official] Music provided by Ikson® Listen:
