New Lace Scarf
January 6th, 2007 by Matt
I am working on a new scarf. This is my first scarf on my new loom
I am using a lace pattern from Handwoven.
I warped on a lace pattern and am just starting it you can see my progress below. The warping went much faster this time then my first YEA!!! I am getting better at this. I also found out what the 2 pins in the top of my loom are for. They are beater pins and they are used to fix your beater so it will not move. You can fix it into 2 different positions.
- First is all the way extended for warping
- Is half way and works great for sleying
So after warping I was able to start weaving and this is how far I have gotten. The colors of the Mountain Colors Hand painted yarn does not show as much as I wanted since I used it as the warp. So next time I do something like this I will make sure I use it for the weft
Wow, love it! How do you set your loom up for lace as opposed to ordinary weaving, I’m not clear? I have a weaving attachment for my knitting machine, I really should dig it out and get playing with it!
To weaving lace on a loom you just pick a lace pattern. Lace normally has holes in it and interesting texture so its just a pattern its the way I threaded the heddles.
[…] I have been working with my new loom and I have finished my first scarf. It looks great. Really great. This is my first loom that has more than 2 shafts. So I decided to make one of the hardest looking things I could find a lace scarf and it was FUN and I am done. […]
