Penelope's Wollmeise Scarf

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Rigid Heddle Weaving »

Instructions

2.5 yard warp
80 ends
10 dent heddle

Hem stitched both ends of the scarf. Wove plain weave for 74.25”. I had 18 grams of yarn leftover. I did a twisted fringe for the ends.

After washing and blocking, the scarf measured 6.5” wide and 68” long without fringe. 78” long with fringe.
Difficulty:

Category: Weaving

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Cute, Traditional, Funky, Classic, Casual

Materials

1 skein of Wollmeise 100% Merino Superwash 575.0 yards (525.8m): Saami, Kromski Harp 24" Loom

What was your inspiration?

My friend, Penelope, commissioned me to weave her a scarf with her yarn because this colorway had a tendency to pool in the most unattractive way when knitted. I am pleased to see that when I began weaving, the colors pooled together uniformly and it made a nice pattern for the scarf.

For some reason the project instructions didn't appear when I opened this the other day - just the photo and the comments area. Thanks for including all of the detail and it does look like I'm on the right track. I love my Cricket :-)

OK, I'm warped - used sized 10 heddle. I used the worksheet and hopefully will have enough yarn for the length that I want. Will post photos when done!

Looks like Saami colors! I'm getting ready to start a scarf of this same yarn! Can you tell me what size heddle you used (I'm tentatively planning on a 10, weaving with Wollmeise 'Twin') and how approximately how long and wide you made it, with approximately how much yarn you had left over? I want to use my yarn up as much as possible but still don't have the skills to do the figuring as to how much of a scarf this will actually make (I have the full skein of 510 yds, fingering weight). Thanks for any help you can give! Lisa
