![]() I still manage to mess up like first 5cm of every other work i start. ![]() It usualy solves the problem (all that forward/backward can be a bit tricky and mirroring motions/patterns/card orientation can be confusing at first seemingly messing all your work even though you are doing everything right technicaly, just in opposite order/direction). When you start weaving and pattern looks like a total mess, try turning cards in opposite directions. These are mine 2 decks, minus cards i am using atm. Cardboard, thicker plastic sheet, literal cards cut into squares with holes punched through them, whatever. Cards could be made out of anything as long as they have smooth edges and rounded corners. Taping each card threads together or using weights (check pictures below) is another way (good only for shorter stuff though). Streching/knotting them to something is one way. Secure lose ends after threading through cards so you won’t end with a bundled mess. Since you need some lenghts to secure ends and to turn cards, use about 40 cm more than wished lenght of your final product. Streching and threading all that yarn can take anything between 20 minutes and 3 hours depending on how big is the pattern and how skilled you are. Start with some easy pattern like simple wave or diamonds above, 6 - 10 cards are good for your first project. S and Z threading are there for a reason, so mind your card orientation. Google tablet weaving or card weaving (same thing, different names) patterns and some basic explanations and yt vids for how to turn and weave the stuff. Honestly, i don’t remember where i started since it has been so long ago and now i just browse pinterest for patterns alone. It’s surprisingly easy since all the info is available on the net. What did you use it speaking for myself, i just decided to learn it one day a few years ago (i had a viking phase ok) and simply started with it. What kind of sorcery is this?! I can never turn more than 10 cards in sequence because they just refuse to cooperate and you have like, what, 35? 40?! HOW?!?!Ĥ0 in the tree strap above! The most I ever tried was 44 for this ramshorn strap below - that was tough, but also ok because the groups turned separately? I think my hands would murder me if I tried to go any higher on my backstrap setup though ) I think the trick is maintaining appropriate tension! Just a short video of my card weaving in progress
