]]> Here’s your intro to the weaving raddle! You see, because of my method for dressing a loom, I don’t need to use a weaving raddle. However, it’s a very interesting tool and I want to bring awareness of it to my audience (who may be curious about what it is and what it can do).

So, I brought in the lovely and talented Ellen Grenier Bevill to show us the ropes! In today’s episode, she will walk us through this unique tool and show us how she uses it in her process. Then, you can decide if it’s a tool that will help you with yours!

Show Notes –

How to make a raddle – I found a great post from Yarny Curtain that walks you through the process of creating your own weaving raddle. Being a not-so-handy weaver, I would simply call up our family friend, Carl, and ask him to make one for me. But if you are brave and knowledgeable, dive right in, my friend! Here’s the link to show you how. 

Speaking of tools – Recently, I invited another friend, Caryl Bohn, to show us the weaving temple and how it works. (You’re sensing a theme here, right?) She gave us the ins and outs of why you may want to incorporate a temple into your future projects. Check it out here.
