In this video, I'm sharing with you three different techniques that I use for changing yarns while weaving on my rigid heddle loom. Those techniques can be used when you want to change color in your weft because you are weaving stripes. They can also be used when you simply ran out of yarn on your shuttle and need to tie on a new shuttle of yarn. Each technique works better with a specific kind of yarns. #weaving #loom #yarn

THE YARN
For this towel project, I’m using 8/2 cotton from Maurice Brassard in four different colors. If you are in the US, they are all available through The Woolery's website here : https://woolery.com/maurice-brassard-cotton-yarn-8-2.html?aff=214
Here are the exact color names of the yarn I used:
-Naturel (LEC-Y100)
-Sapin (light green) (LEC-Y5536)
-Plum (purple) (LEC-Y1732)
-Teal (LEC-Y5068)
Then, the second technique is shown on my most recent beginner's scarf project. Here's the link to the video: https://youtu.be/XiILHUI8Yvk
