Weaving an EASY and BEAUTIFUL Scarf on a Rigid Heddle Loom | A Perfect Beginner Project

[@maggiereese1053]

I have been having a terrible time with tension and sheds on my 24" Ashford rigid heddle loom. I watched this video last night so today I went to Wal-Mart and bought the exact same yarn you used here (love the denim look it has). Thank you, thank you, thank you! Came home, warped my loom and have already woven a good 18" of perfect fabric. Thanks to you I am actually enjoying weaving on my loom!

This project is outstanding for a beginner. Thank you😃, Its been an inspiration for me and I will make it as soon as I get a Rigid Heddle Loom and finish my present project on a bigger loom.

How many skeins of yarn did you purchase for this? @Curly-n-Yarny

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

I used two balls!

Lovely scarf and, as usual, great explanations.

Another great video. Thanks for your time and help!

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

Thanks to you for your comment ! :)

I have made several scarves with this exact yarn but only using it for the weft and white cotton 8/2 for the warp. I see you are using it for both weft and warp and it looks absolutely fab! Lili, Kasa Bianca

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

That is so interesting! It's surely very pretty. I will have to try it out 😄 Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@annieem5693]

Lilliam, did you double thread the warp? What dpi was your heddle? Thanks!

[@lilliamschaad2338]

@@annieem5693 Hi there, no I didn't double thread the warp and the heddle I used was 7.5 😊

[@IceWeirdo]

J'ai reçu ma laine! Je commence ce projet ce soir 😁

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

C'est génial! Bonne chance 😊

You mentioned wet finishing after the scarf is off the loom. Can you recommend a video on how to wet finish? I just started making your scarf and am only 1 inch into the project. I love your enthusiasm. Thanks for all the help.

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

It's funny you might ask, I'm currently working on a video about wet finishing. Hopefully I will be able to get it out in a few weeks! I believe that there are as many ways to finish a piece as there are weavers! Myself, when I wet finish a scarf, I soak it for a few hours in cold water. I usually add a bit of vinegar in order to fix the color. Then I rinse it well and let it soak again in cold water with soap! After that I rinse again and I let it dry! To speed the process, I often put the scarf for a spin in the washing machine. Finally, I iron it! I hope this helps you in the meantime that I get my video out 😊

@@Curly_n_Yarny Thanks so much. I am just cutting my gorgeous scarf off my Ashford 20" knitters loom tonight!!

[@knitsatknittylicious8823]

Oh nice. Just a quick question, what heddle size is it please.

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

I used my 7.5 dpi heddle 😊

[@TreeCurtis84]

I'm in the middle of my first project using this yarn. The weft is looking much more dense then I want . I can hardly see the warp. I don't think im beating too hard. What do you think it could be?

[@Curly_n_Yarny]

It's very hard for me to tell without seeing your project. There might be a few things causing that. Are you using a 7.5 or 8 DPI heddle? Also, how is your tension on the loom?
