Blueberry Scarf Rigid Heddle Project
Luxury meets function in this Blueberry Scarf Rigid Heddle Project! Using three different colors, this plaid scarf is as eye-catching as it is soft with the merino yarn we used for this project.
**Golden Fleece Merino Prato yarn has since been discontinued. We recommend Dyeing House Gallery Rain or Shine as a substitution**
We utilized a technique for carrying your weft which cuts down on ends and gives your project edges an overall cleaner look.
Equipment Needed
- Rigid heddle loom, at least 10" weaving width. We used the Schacht Cricket Loom
- 3 stick shuttles
- 10 Dent Rigid Heddle
- Scissors
- Paper for Warp Separation
- Fringe Twister
Yarns
Warp: 1 ball each of Golden Fleece Merino Prato in Pure White, Aqua Blue, and Navy Blue. (Note: Golden Fleece Merino has been discontinued from our shop. We suggest DHG Rain or Shine as an alternative in the colors Deep Blue, Jeans, and Natural White)
Weft: 1 ball each of Golden Fleece Merino Prato in Pure White, Aqua Blue, and Navy Blue. (Note: Golden Fleece Merino has been discontinued from our shop. We suggest DHG Rain or Shine as an alternative in the colors Deep Blue, Jeans, and Natural White)
Setts
Warp: 10 epi
Weft: 10 ppi
Dimensions (approximate)
Width in heddle: 8"
Woven length: 70" (not including 5" of fringe on each side)
Weave Structure: Plain Weave
Warp
We created a 100" long warp with 80 ends.
Warp Color Order
Note: Adding an extra warp thread at the beginning or end of your warp will ensure that your threading starts and ends in a hole which makes for neater selvedges. If you do this you will have 81 ends.
Weft
Repeat this sequence for 70" or your desired length.
Carrying Up Your Weft
Here's a video tutorial on how to use the weft technique we mentioned earlier. This step by step video walks you through that process.
Finishing
Leave some unwoven warp for fringe and you're finished!
