Open-Weave Felted Scarf: Weaving & Felting
28:12
Follow along as Deborah completes the warping onto the front beam and begins weaving the open-weave felted scarf.

Deborah shows you how!
Crammed & Spaced Windowpane Scarf

Varying the density of weaving creates beautiful texture in the Windowpane scarf. Deborah weaves fine thread through a warp of variable thicknesses, then packs the picks densely or loosely according to the supplied pattern.

Thick & Thin Scarf

Play with a variety of fibers along with Deborah as you weave the Thick & Thin scarf. Deborah explains how the warp is set up and how the different thicknesses of yarns interact with each other. You'll also learn how to finish your ends with decorative knotted fringe or a smooth hem.
Differential Shrinkage Scarf

Get your wool to work for you and create a highly textured work of art simply by combining felting and non-felting fibers. Deborah weaves the Differential Shrinkage scarf with two shuttles and shows how to keep your selvages smooth. Learn how to take your weaving off the loom and how to add twisted fringe and beads.
Sampling for Success
23:49
Before committing a lot of time and fiber to a project, you'll want to sample, sample, sample. Deborah shows how to make a small sample woven with a tapestry needle on cardboard, and discusses the variables to consider when sampling on your loom. You'll explore differences in warp fibers, weft fibers and dent numbers and see Deborah's examples that highlight these differences. Finally, get a glimpse of some of the design samples Deborah has used to create gorgeous garments and scarves.
