Love the scarf! How do you keep the tension on the warp once you remove the piece from the front beam?

[@JeneratedDesigns]

Might be hard to explain......When you remove the warp from the beam you will "reattach" the warp by sandwiching your finished cloth between the apron rod and front beam. So you will have the middle of the scarf still rolled up and under tension with just enough loose to reach around for weaving the ends in. Hope that helps.

Does it matter which end/side you start to weave your warp ends in? Thank you 🙏

[@JeneratedDesigns]

Depends...on this scarf I made sure that there was no twist in the fabric, so if I lay it out flat it's one continuous circle. Or do you mean could you weave the ends in from the right side of the loom? I did it on the left side of the loom, that part doesn't matter, whichever is more comfortable for you. Hope that helps.

Hi there...looks beautiful...what are the blue clips you use to stop the end weft becoming loose as you take off the waste yarn at start of project please?

[@JeneratedDesigns]

That is painters tape, its on the bottom but on the ends I folded a bit over to hold it in place. This keeps my weft yarn from coming loose.

[@rainylee59]

How many ends did you have ? What size heddle and how long of a warp ? Thanks a bunch 😃

[@JeneratedDesigns]

The warp is roughly 3 yards in length, 12.5 dent heddle and I threaded 60 slots and 60 holes. Measure your with on the loom and be sure to leave enough length at the end of your weaving to weave in the strands from the begining (forming the V). Hope that helps.

Your welcome

I get it!!!😁😁😁😁😁Thanks!!!! I'm a new subscriber!!! I'm gonna add a hemstitch 😁😁😁😁Maybe???!!!🤔🤔🤔😊😊

[@JeneratedDesigns]

A hem stitch will create a gap where you want the fabric to join together and it won't be seamless. Try it on a small scrap project to see how it works first.

What yarn are you using?

[@JeneratedDesigns]

This project used 3 different yarns from Expression Fiber Arts, all fingering weight.
