This time I experimented with a spherical doodle weaving utilizing an embroidery hoop! I did not follow anybody’s directions, I just produced it up as I went alongside. I am absolutely sure there are much better techniques to do this, but I just utilised tape, yarn, and a glue gun.

How to make a spherical doodle weaving:

1. Set up the warp (these are the vertical threads). I did this by slicing a complete bunch of threads and then taping them to the side of the hoop. I did not evaluate, just eye-balled. I also loosely taped the hanging threads up to the facet which is why it seems to be like there is so a great deal tape.

2. Get started weaving. Something goes, here. Refer again to my first doodle weaving write-up for extra explicit guidance. Just begin and end underneath. And use a fork to force down the weft (all those are the horizontal threads).

3. I use a “shoelace” approach when weaving whereby I wrap the close of the yarn with a piece of tape so that it is a lot easier to weave with. This is because I can’t find my plastic weaving needles. But it’s also because I simply cannot see nicely adequate to thread the needle. This technique works really properly for me. It is fast and simple.

4. You never have to go from base to best when doodle weaving. You can start out wherever and move all around till it is all filled up. I finally want to weave like I would attract, but for now I instinctively go bottom to leading. You can also go back in and fill areas if there are gaps. The fork seriously helps to make it all tight.

5. When finished, I pulled off the blue tape that I utilised to loosely maintain the ends, but I still left the tape that holds the warp. I designed positive you couldn’t see it when placing the outer hoop over the internal hoop. Tighten the outer hoop as restricted as you can.
