The class starts out getting you familar with weaving by weaving towels and samplers on looms that are already warped. After learning how to throw the shuttle and controlling the pattern through the use of the treadles, you weave a scarf of your own design. This is the project where you learn how to warp a loom.<\/p>\n<p>The warp is a wool and cotton novelty knitting yarn and a Harrisville tweed wool yarn. The Harrisville yarn was added to the warp on Tom&#8217;s recommendation to give some strength to the warp while weaving. The weft used is the same Harrisville tweed weaving yarn.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a close up view of the weave structure. It is a 2-2 twill that comes to a point in the center of the scarf. The pattern requires 4 harnesses, and the sett is 8 e.p.i.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/1scarfx.jpg\" title=\"First scarf close-up\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/1scarfx.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"First scarf close-up\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the very first item that\u00a0I ever wove, start to finish.
