- This project uses handspun yarn and an old gradient yarn from my stash, turned into a scarf on the Ashford 40cm Rigid Heddle loom - peep the visits from Theo, my ever-present helper!
This is beautiful! And also dangerous 😂 I do NOT need another hobby, but oh my goodness this is such a wonderful combination of beautiful and useful and satisfying in both the process and end result! Thank you for sharing!
I feel the exact same way!! I have been shopping for a pashmina but why buy one for $40 when I can spend 3 days and $400 weaving one? Resist the urge, resist the urge…
@@bonnie1303But surely it will have paid for itself when you’ve made a couple of dozen pashminas for wardrobe? 😂
I recently returned to sewing (clothing) after many decades and am finding it very satisfying. RUclips has been a great help with stuff I've forgotten. But just yesterday I was asking myself why I hadn't seen any videos about spinning, dyeing and weaving. I own a 40" floor loom (It folds so it doesn't take up too much space) and a spinning wheel that I haven't used in even longer.
Maybe next year! (Sigh)
Oop you've done it NOW! Now you'll be calculating and planning weaving projects FOREVER! xD
Just be aware that "loom math" exists LOL. Glad you mentioned hemstitching. I hemstitch the leading en once I have about three inches done - just before I advance the warp the first time. I find the hemstitch goes easier when the fabric is under tension. Your scarf looks great.
It's an old tradition in Scotland. I hope you continue help keep it going no matter where you are in the world.
I miss weaving so much. It was my major in college but because of how expensive floor looms are (because i want to make blankets) it will be a long time until I can do that.
Your scarf is absolutely gorgeous! Well done and thanks for sharing this with me
Oooh, weaving is addicting! I jumped in the deep end when i started, got myself a floor loom right off😅
Oh I’m jealous! I wish I had that much space- hopefully someday!!
Oh, it's beautiful! well done 👍
It always amazes me when i see artist go through so much details to create.
Every extended family needs a loom and a sewing machine. The world is changing folks.
This looks like my next hobby to master and put aside 😧
It’s a useful skill 😊 might come in handy sometime
I just took my first rh loom weaving class today and ❤❤❤ it!
So beautiful!
I really love your color choices!

WOMAN! STOP SHOWING ME NEW HOBBIES IN EVERY SHORT!
LOVE the colors!
Oooooo, I need to get one of these.
TOTALLY JEALOUS !!!

That is gorgeous!! 😍
This is SO COOL
Whenever I feel a project is going slow I bust out the gradient yarn because then it becomes a game of "oh I'll stop when the colours change" and it makes it less monotonous
Muy bonito gracias

Thank you so much!!
The manager was checking in on you 😂😂
I want to do this but I know myself and I know I will only use it once and forget about it for month.
Can you link materials ?
This is the loom I used: ashfordcraftshop.co.nz/product/rigid-heddle-loom/ - the kit comes with everything you need except the reed, I used a 10 dent for this project.
I used a skein of my own handspun yarn for the warp and one of these in a discontinued colourway for the weft: www.knitpicks.com/yarn/chroma-fingering/c/5420203
Happy weaving!
@@katmakesWow! I'd be afraid to use my handspun for a WARP! 😮 You must be very skilled to produce so much yarn that's strong and smooth enough for a WARP. Any problems with breakage?
❤love the Lap Warmer, oh and the looming & scarf 🧣 are amazing too!
