I built myself a rigid heddle loom and I've been having a blast making scarves and shawls, but somehow all my attempts at tablet weaving end up a mess. Any good resources for learning? I need a new strap for my bass guitar lol.

Hi! Thanks for thinking of me. ☺️

tablet weaving how-to:

Beginner's instructions for tablet weaving

another how-to:

Card Weaving – Jumaka

personal favorite site for designing tablet weaving drafts:

Twisted Threads

and the "bible" of techniques, (GNU Peter Collingwood):

Collingwood, Peter When Techniques of Tablet Weaving was first published in 1982 it sold out almost immediately. Weaver Echo Point Books &

also consider RHL might be tool for the job if you pull the weft TIGHT for a warp-faced weave and use appropriate materials (something smooth with no stretch, like cotton/linen)

favorite site for designing plainweave warp-faced bands:

Dear god why does no one just republish Peter Collingwood? I can at least get the tablet weaving book new now, and I knew the sprang was the really horribly expensive rare one, but I’d be interested in his rug weaving books too, but not £75ea interested.

After finding that gem called "shadow huck", I thought I was done - successfully - with trying to find a way to like shadow weave.  Moving on, I started weaving some samples from Peter Collingwood's The Techniques of Rug Weaving, starting with the 2/2 straight draw twill and all its color-and-weave combinations.  But then I started "reading ahead" and what did I find but shadow weave!
