Weaving a Plain Weave Scarf on the Rigid Heddle Loom

In this video I demonstrate weaving a plain weave scarf on the rigid heddle loom from start to finish. The yarn I'm using is Cascade Yarn's Eco-Duo, a 70% baby alpaca/30% merino singles that isn't typically a weaving yarn. The result is a soft scarf that is light and airy.

Thank you! 😊

Lovely scarf. The colour variations make it so interesting. I've never heard of yarn cakes "barfing"...made me smile 😁

Thank you! 😊 I love using varagated yarns in plain weave. Yarn "barf" is an apt description don't you think? 🤣

Great video. I've never called them "cakes"....like you I call them "balls'. Beautiful colors.

I use two nylon loopers made for children's looper looms to hold both the back rod and the heddle securely while I direct warp. They stay on the back rod all of the time so I never have to look for one and I simply pull the loop over the end of the little extension on the top of the heddle when I'm ready to wind another warp. Rubber bands will work but sometimes they break and the nylon loops have been in use for more than 15 years through many warps.

What a great idea! I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching ❤️
