Setting Up The Loom (In Pictures)

Sunday was such a productive day for me on the loom, I thought I’d share it with all of you.

These are the steps I went through to get the custom scarf onto the loom on Sunday after I had wound the warp Saturday afternoon.  See that post here.

Step 1:  Pull the warp through the loom.  This colorful pile of yarn is how the warp looks when it is off the board and not yet on the loom.  To prevent tangling or yarn slipping out of place, choke ties are placed every 3 feet or so while it is still on the board.  You can see one here just hanging off the loom.

Step 2: Fill the raddle to spread the warp out on the back beam. I used a counting thread in between each section of 18 threads to facilitate this process and help keep track of how many threads were in the warp.

Step 3:  Wind on the warp using paper between the layers of yarn to ensure even tension. I’m using shipping paper here between the layers.  Thanks, Staples!

Step 4: Thread the heddles according to the pattern.  Check your work as you thread!

Step 5:  Sley the reed pulling the appropriate number of threads through each slot.  This is 18 threads per inch, so it was sleyed 1-2-1-2-1-2 to convert 12 slots per inch into 18 ends per inch (EPI).

Step 6:  Admire your work and check the cross to make sure the threads are straight and not crossed or transposed.  The cross is the X made during winding the warp to keep the threads in order.  On the loom, lease sticks are placed through the X in the yarn. You can see them about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the picture.

Step 7:  Tie onto the loom and ensure all of the threads have even tension.

Step 8:  Start weaving!  I wove 2 pattern repeats to spread the warp evenly on the loom and to confirm the pattern was correct in the heddles. Any issues in the pattern can still be fixed before proceeding.   

Once confirmed that it all looked good, I advanced the warp 12 inches to account for the fringe and began the actual weaving in black.

Now I am ready to weave two scarves on this warp.  One for my customer and another one for Etsy.  (I’ll use a secondary pattern for the Etsy one so that I don’t duplicate the custom scarf)  

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.  I’d love to hear from you.

Now that it’s getting colder in my area, I think I’ll start offering custom scarves for winter! If I start early I can even have them ready for winter holidays for gifts. I don’t think I’ve gotten across how extremely long these scarves are, so here’s an example of me (about 5′ tall) with one loosely wrapped just once. They are 9′ long including tassels.

The only guideline is you can choose up to 4 colors (there are 16 ‘stripes’ on each scarf) and let me know what order the colors should be in. I can do most pride scarves and favorite colors! More colors are available in acrylic yarn, but I can do wool blend in some colors as well. I generally work with subtle color palettes but I can find bright colors too.

I will take up to 5 requests. Each scarf is $30+shipping! (USPS priority flat rate) Please message me or send an email to [email protected] if you’re interested. If I don’t respond to a message in less than 3 days, it probably got eaten and you may need to send it again.

The Final Product - Custom Rainbow Scarf 

Well, at long last, the custom scarf I made for my friend Greg has been been completed and will be shipping to Wisconsin very soon.

It’s been in the works since early January and now in March it has been completed and is ready for him wear.  

The process took a while since I was not working on it full time, wove two scarves before removing from the loom,  and just grab time on the weekends and a few week nights.  I really should track my time during one of these so I know how long it actually takes!

Fortunately, we are still having cold weather, so I hope he can get some wear out of it this season.

Second scarf from this warp coming to my Etsy shop later today!

Recognize the pattern? I used this scarf for my new shop and blog graphics!

Custom Rainbow Scarf Started  

I’ve started work on a custom scarf for my customer, Greg.  He’d bought a smaller scarf from me and loved it so much he now wants one that is a bit wider and longer than the original one.

Since he liked the more subtle gradients in my rainbow scarves, I used 16 colors to create the gradient for the rainbow.  Each color is 9 threads on the warp.  The pattern will be the zig-zag Strickler pattern from this table runner with a couple modifications to adjust for the width of the scarf.

So far, so good.  Now to get it onto the loom!

Custom Scarf Woven To Length!  

This weekend, my first custom ordered scarf was woven to the appropriate length length on the loom.  After hemstitching the end to secure the warp into the bundles needed for twisted fringe, I unrolled it a bit and took this picture. I love how the rainbow pattern in Strickler #728 worked out with the gradient on this scarf.  

The color balances between hot and cool colors lined right up down the middle of the scarf.  I cannot wait to see how the rainbow fringe turns out, but first I have another scarf to weave in a different pattern variation before that can happen.

I’ve sent an update to Greg, my customer, with this photo, but he has not yet seen it.  I hope he likes it.

Two Scarves Off The Loom!  

Well, it took some time but the custom scarf for my friend Greg and the second scarf are now done weaving and have been taken off the loom.

The next step in the process is to cut them apart and twist the fringe.  Then into the wet finishing and ironing and they will be done.

I cannot wait to see what the final sizes of the scarves will be.
