A week or so ago, a couple of my designs were featured in an article that I wrote for Weavezine.

I designed a couple of scarves
that show several techniques.
One thing that they illustrate
is how to weave a narrow band
of fabric and then to use
my ‘mitered loop’ technique
to make a piece that is twice
as wide, but 1/2 as long as the
original woven fabric.
I also show how to work with
a clasped weft, which is one of
my most favorite techniques.
The scarves, which work really well as table runners, also feature a keyhole, so that one end can be pulled through a small opening to hold and shape the scarf.

I used sock yarn (Patons Kroy Socks and Patons Stretch Socks) and for both scarves.
I wove the multicolor scarf on my Saori floor loom,

I wove the blue scarf on my Schacht Cricket rigid heddle loom:

I feel like I covered a lot of ground with 2 little scarves!
My mom sent me the link to the scarf article… fascinating technique! I requested one, and I believe I will get it!
Hi Diane
How neat! I hope that your mom has a blast weaving it and that you’ll enjoy wearing it! Win win!
