The suede warp in the silk sari scarf is 1 skein of Berroco black suede yarn, came out nice, not hard to use as warp, but I found it hard to knit with -- hence another usage. The warp floats are made with a pick up stick, see Betty Linn Davenport's book, Textures and Patterns for the Rigid Heddle Loom. Great fun creating patterns, I've just experimented with a few in some samplers, unlimited options with the pick up stick creating patterns like you see made on "big looms". I love the rigid heddle, it is portable, easy to use, and a great place to start with in weaving. Thanks again.Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538311496003349009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543497504528457514.post-23705771462585524072009-03-27T22:43:00.000-03:002009-03-27T22:43:00.000-03:00Looks like you are having fun playing with yarns. ...Looks like you are having fun playing with yarns. They are all so different. I tried a few scarves on the rigid heddle loom and they came out rather, um, rigid. I have some things to learn about creating drape.Annie MacHalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664018382440495900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543497504528457514.post-83978844594322476842009-03-27T18:35:00.000-03:002009-03-27T18:35:00.000-03:00Love the scarf in Blue Wools!
