Finished scarf! Very laid back project to get back into the swing of things. I definitely enjoyed doing a complicated twill pattern and will be doing more in the future. It’s very soft and light but should be very warm considering it’s 1/3 alpaca and can be wrapped a whole lot.

Beautiful colors! And i can feel the softness...

Tension peg, yarn and pattern are really fine!

Yesterday i watched a weavers porn:

Thick wool, herbal dyed...fast weaving 😁

Here you see the weavers best friend: A thin weft!

If you want a crisp and clean pattern, use a thin weft. The weft won't show up and hides perfectly.

On my large loom i'm weaving some wires 😵‍💫

100% linen NM20/2...you could easily sew with it. I like the colours, because they look quite naturally.

And i can tell you: The tension, the tension, the tension...nothing for a beginner. 20 years ago i would have freaked out totally!

For @medievaleftea since I commented on your post! Here is my tiny inkle loom next to my full sized Beka inkle, and again by itself.

The mini loom was made by a lady in my SCA barony. She makes these in bulk and brings them to classes she teaches, so everyone goes home with a loom and a set of 12 cards. She just started making left-handed looms and was very excited when I came to class, since she wanted to know if it made a difference (and I did find it a lot easier to use than the Beka loom!) The mini loom makes about a yard at a time.

And I'm working on an interpretation of the Kaupang band, just in dreamy colors!
