Directions

Threading the Slots

1. Set up the warping peg 84” from the back apron bar.
2. Tie both color A and color B to the back apron bar and place the yarn sources behind the loom.
3. Centering the warp in the reed, thread the first slot with color A.
4. Thread the next slot with color B.
5. Thread across the width of the warp alternating color A and color B.
6. End with color A in the final slot, and cut at the peg so that the final warp end is a single end through the slot. Tie around the warping peg.
7. Wind the warp onto the back beam.

Threading the Holes

1. Place color A in all slots and color B in all holes.

   

Tie on to the Front of the Loom

1. Tie on to the front apron rod ensuring the tension is consistent across the warp.

Weaving

1. Spread the warp with scrap yarn.
2. Leave enough unwoven warp for the fringe you’d like. My fringe is approximately 6” long.
3. Weave plain weave with color A for about an inch, leaving a tail 5 times the width of the weaving at the beginning for hemstitching.
4. Hemstitch the beginning of the weaving in groups of 2 warps and 2 wefts.
5. Weave the length of the scarf, approximately 60”, ensuring there is enough length for fringe at the end.
6. Trim the tail to 5 times the width of the weaving.
7. Hemstitch in groups of 2 warps and 2 wefts.

Finishing

1. Cut the weaving off the loom, ensuring you leave enough length for the fringe.
2. Trim the fringe to your desired length.
3. Handwash with mild soap and room temperature water, avoiding agitation.
4. Lay flat to dry.
5. Trim the fringe to your desired length.
6. Wear your handwoven scarf with pride!
