A Design for Two Looms Kit

left in stock in

Low in store inventory, may be subject to change

Weaving textures into the cloth is a favorite way to make a textile special. Creating warp or weft floats is easy to do on a rigid heddle loom by using pick up sticks to manipulate the warp threads. A multiharness loom can be threaded and treadled to create the textural patterns as well. The beauty of this design is that the fabric comes out looking the same whether it's done on either the Rigid Heddle or Harnessed Looms.

The Rigid Heddle version is fairly straight forward project using pick up sticks. The only difficult part is inserting and reinserting the second pick up stick to weave Block B of the pattern.

The Harness Loom version is a bit more challenging. Threading the 8 shaft loom requires that you pay attention to achieve the correct threading without making any mistakes. The weaving itself is fairly easy as the harnesses make the pattern rather simple by using the levers or treadles. The completed scarves look almost identical no matter which version you choose to do!
