- I kind of wish I had the chance to get some really beautiful footage of this item, it's certainly one of my favourite projects and one I feel most proud of! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, with joy,

Wow Kat!!! Amazing! You should be super proud of this achievement. The fabric looks gorgeous. And a cloak, yes!!
Your joy makes me so happy, both for you and gives me more joy about my own projects ✨ the magic of community 😊
What a beautiful soul you are Katt and a wonderful story teller. I don't spin but I was fascinated watching this episode. I get the same joy from my knitting but I'm still not going to ever steek haha 🤩 and probably not brioche either 🤩
Such a beautiful project! Everything about the process was just a joy to watch 😊I recently bought a rigid heddle loom, but I've not unpacked it yet because I'm concerned that it'll be overwhelming, and it'll just sit gathering dust while I overthink about attempting my first project. But hearing you talk about how you approached this project with an open and experimental mindset, and hearing you say that you actually enjoyed the process of sorting things out when the warping went a bit wrong to begin with - that actually makes me feel kind of liberated and less overwhelmed. Thank you for showing us stressed out overthinkers that there is a better way 😊
Thank you so much for sharing all the steps to create your shawl and also sharing the joy it genuinely brings you !!! ❤❤❤
I love everything about this! Your fearlessness, enthusiasm, and embracing "mistakes" is so refreshing and inspiring! I really have to psyche myself up to weave with my handspun, but you've got me inspired to go for it and just see what happens. I can be hyper-critical at the loom, but I'm always amazed by the way the fabric transforms after washing. Its just magic!
The color is stunning. I love natural colors the most. Your woven fabric is beautiful and I also like the pin used on the shawl. Take care.
Weaving is soo much fun! Especially with handspun. What a lovely road and video, thank you for sharing ❤ i started warping up my loom, this morning, with the help of my daughter (home for a night and day from uni). Because my loom is smaller width than yours ( because of my disability, I cannot stretch my arms wide), we had to warp a 7 meter long warp. The yarn I spun made me really proud. I made a muslin trouser from the link I sent you on the last video and it fits fine, so I am going for it. Love!
Your excitement is palpable - I am very happy for you to be on this path! ❤🐏❤️
Thank you soooo much! I can't believe we made it here, this path certainly feels so right to me 💚
What a wonderful episode! As a new weaver myself, I totally understand how gratifying it is to make fabric!! Now I wish I knew how to spin…🙃 Sooooo many things to learn….it was nice seeing your excitement, and what a gorgeous result!
There are so many things to learn and as we all seem to know, the more you know...the more you want to know and try 🤭 It's so gorgeous seeing the yarn turn to fabric! I'm hoping to try some fabric with my spindle spun yarn soon - I think that's a great way into spinning if you are tempted 🤭💚
Thank you so much for sharing your joy! I love seeing someone so happy and excited about a new adventure ✨ I got really exciting about spinning myself 🤭 I remember having made myself a cardboard loom in primary school and making tiny rugs ☺️
How wonderful to see the start of your journey into weaving. Particularly as I plan to buy a loom myself very soon!
I love there are so many ways to use our fibers. And thank goodness to you and other CZcamsrs out there who inspire us endlessly!
Ohh that's wonderfully exciting, what type of loom are you hoping to invest in? I can't believe honestly how versatile the rigid heddle is and yet so simple!
@@kattweaver It will be a rigid heddle as well but I’m waiting until we go on a trip to Tennessee in a couple of months as there is a big weaving/spinning store there. I need a wheel too! And a carder! but can’t decide between hand carders or drum. I’ve been working with a drop spindle which tbh I love and am not overly motivated to get the wheel just yet but I’m only spinning enough for small projects.
Right now I’m trying to spin some roughly carded Nutiden fiber and it’s a hot mess so I really do need a carder lol
Oh my...what an inspirational video. Thank you. The fabric you made is beautiful and my first thought was I would love them as slacks. Well done!
This is a gorgeous piece of woven fabric.🥰 It was super obvious that you truly enjoyed everything about this project. I love how you tested accepted knowledge to understand why.
Thank you, it felt really nice to have a real handle on these learnings, especially since the first few items really seemed...almost like riding a bike! A little experimenting went a really long way!
Such joy. Your shawl is so beautiful. A truly amazing project. Thank you ❤
so cool to see you experimenting with a new craft. And your shawl looks outstanding!! I myself got a spinning wheel for christmas and have been having a brilliant time learning to spin. I've been doing lots of mini spins as I try different things out and experiment learning the limits of a new craft is so much fun!
What a joyful and cozy video to have on while I finish some sweater fixing for my husband. That fabric turned out gorgeous!
I LOVE how happy you get from talking about your project! And this video truly felt special. The result is beautiful and I get why you say it’s like wearing a hug, you can see all the love and care that went into it! ❤
I LOOOVE this video! You are such a talented crafter - whatever you touch your magic turns it into something beautiful! Congrats on your first loom project, and looking forward to seeing more! Sending love from Cali!
Ohhh thank you so much! It feels so good to learn and be able to understand just how much work goes into cloth, so excited to see where this craft leads 💚
The joy and intenionality imbued into your projects is so inspiring to me. This might be a weird thing to say but... I can't tell you how many of the adjectives you use to describe the fiber, yarn and garments are now part of my vocabulary and mindset. You show us a different way to approach these crafts and it speaks to me on a way i can't even describe. Thank you. Also The shawl is very very beautiful👌. Thank you for sharing this with us ♥️
Ohhh thank you so much, that means so much to hear, I do apologise for not having a wider vocabulary 🤭😅 but I am so glad that we can share joy and inspiration through this platform, I get to learn and hopefully inspire but in turn the reflections you provide do help guide me so much 💚
What an achievement !!! I'd love to be able to finish a project on that kind of scale :)
We’re looking for corny in our lives! 😅 how beautiful is your newest shawl?! You are so talented, katt!! Thank you for such a wonderful episode. You totally wowed me again! 😍
We really are! 🤭💚 I can't believe how gorgeous it came out, I really wanted to learn but also, to have something that is going to be useable, I did not expect it would be as truly gorgeous as I feel it is! Thank you for cheering me on 💚
It's lovely to watch this, it reminds me of when I was first introduced to fiber arts so many years ago. Continue to enjoy your creating it is a wonderful journey.
Thank you so much, it's so connected and joyful to make useful things in ways that generations upon generations would have ✨
This was delightful to watch! I’m so pleased for you. It’s just beautiful! ❤
Ohhh thank you so much! I can't believe I was able to make it! 💚
Oh I am so inspired to do more weaving now!! Thanks so much for taking us on your learning journey!
Fiber really is amazing! ❤
I absolutely adored this video! Your excitement reallly seeps through.. in the editing and flow of the whole thing. Here's to more projects akin to this!
Thank you so so so much, it feels so special when something that brings me so much joy shows in the final project, I really hope there will be more projects akin to this, my little heart is buzzing with excitment ✨
Such a lovely project! and glad you are enjoying the candle :)
What an amazing video! I loved every step of this project and felt the same excitement that you were describing! I hope that I can do something similar in the future. I've been spinning on a wheel since December and can't get enough of that whole process. Next step will be to give weaving a try. Thank you so much for the time that you put into this video.
eeee, that's so happy, I am so glad you felt it too and that you are aiming towards such a project. I totally feel you with the spinning, there's something so magical about the slowness and the connection to so many past lives, such a joy to be able to share this with other makers!
Absolutely love this, the shawl is so beautiful 🤎🤎🤎
Thank you so much, I truly don't know if I could be happier with the outcome!💚
Beautiful work and loved seeing your process. Have you ever tried steaming your singles? It is magic to see the twist even out and the singles plump up using this method. Also love the colors in your cardigan- curious about the yarn you used? Thanks for sharing your creativity and passion for all things fiber!
What a beautiful shawl! Loved this episode!
Thank you so so much!
Really like the single black yarn.
Thank you, I've left some of it as singles, I do think I might put it into a woven project ✨
Wow you are so inspiring and lovely
💗🐑🐏💗
Ohhh thank you so much
So, so lovely to her more about this project. I'm really happy that you're having so much fun with the weaving (and all the other steps too!). 🥰
Honestly your blend is almost dangerously fun to spin 🤭 THANK YOU for the inspiration, insight and confidence to try the thing!
