New Scarves!

I haven't had room to put a warp on my table loom so I've been experimenting with fashion scarves on my rigid heddle loom instead. My intention is to learn as much as possible about the ways different yarns behave when woven while also using up a large amount of my oddball stash.

:-)

Here are the latest 3.

Scarf from Ashford's Wheel Magazine #17 (page 29), made with stash yarns. I used Patons Feathers and a plain 8 ply (dk weight) wool for the warp and a mohair boucle for the weft. I like this one a lot more than the purple Opal scarf so this one is going to be my daughter's art teacher's Christmas present instead.

A shorter scarf this time, with black boucle for the warp and brushed alpaca plied with rainbow thick n thin novelty for the weft.

A simple 3 colour check in 8 ply (dk weight) wools. This one still needs a good steam iron I think.

Next I'm going to weave some yardage for cushion covers and a backpack. The cushion fabric is a secret, but the backpack idea was inspired by this pikkie from the Ashford website.
