Tidy up the fringe if necessary and wear or gift with pride! Come and see my houndstooth scarf in-store at FibreHut Evesham. Lie flat until almost dry and then press with a steam iron. Wash in warm soapy water and rinse (I used a little Fibre Rinse). Of course it can be viewed on all Kindle readers and on most smart phones, tablets, and computers if you install the free Kindle reading app on your device. It is available for download on Amazon for 2.99. I hem-stitch at the other end before I remove the work. It is an enhanced version of the tip plus a gallery of hemstitching variations. I prefer hem-stitching to knots at the top and bottom of my scarf and find it is easiest to do this under tension so before I wind the work on for the first time, I do the hem. You can keep the edges neat by passing the yarn being used for the next pick under the yarn you have just used. Start the second block with colour A and carry on alternating colours with each block having 5 rows of colour A and 4 of colour B. Continue alternating until you have woven a block of 5 picks of colour A and 4 picks of colour B. Weave one pick of colour A and the second pick in colour B. You'll see that when colour A is on top, colour B is on the bottom and vice versa. Thread the next 4 eyes with colour B and the next 5 slots with colour A. Thread the first 5 eyes with colour A and the first 4 slots with colour B. This bit can be a little tricky because you are having to alter the sequence of the colours so just follow the instructions - it will become clear! I took each group separately, one by one and cut through, removed the choke and threaded each in turn. Decorated with a photo of an Antique Loom strung with wool fiber thread in a rustic log cabin, this would be a wonderful gift for someone who loves weaving. Wind on and start threading the first group of 18 ends. Tie this group of ends in a choke and repeat the whole process starting with colour A another 4 times so that you have 5 groups and 90 ends in total. Continue alternating the colours until you have 5 double ends of colour A and 4 double ends of colour B (18 ends total). Tie colour A on the back warp stick and pull it through the slot to the warp peg (2 ends) and repeat with colour B. The jumbo char dog is the proper choice here. There’s a certain joy driving down Peterson and seeing that iconic Wolfy’s sign with the fork and lights. I used a width of 12" - a total of 90 holes and slots. Wolfy’s is located on Peterson near California. I like the direct warping method using a warping peg as it so quick and easy. I was weaving on my 40cm Rigid Heddle Loom but you can use any sampleit loom, knitters loom or rigid heddle loom.
