Tuesday's Box

 

Finished Threads

Finishing the Charity scarf this afternoon. Both ends were hemstitched while the scarf was still on the loom. The fringe has been knotted and now it just needs to be trimmed.

Combed the threads till straight and flat.

 

Trimmed with a rotary cutter.

 

 

The scarf is ready for Handmade's donation box but first Show-and-Tell at Little Looms Group next week. It has been awhile since I've shared an item woven on a Rigid Heddle Loom.

 

 

Fancy Threads

Yesterday I decided to make a charity scarf for Handmade with donated yarns,

 

 

woven on the Schacht 10" Cricket Rigid Heddle loom. I warped the loom to the same size as the knitted scarves we donate, 4 to 4.5 inches by 60 inches.

 

 

The skinny scarf did not take any time at all to weave. I even gave it a bath.

 

 

More White Fluff

Carding more California Red sheep wool

 

 

  

 

' 

Later using the drum carder to fluff up mystery white wool (unknown sheep breed) that is a bit compacted.

 

  

 

Beautiful Mind

Into the Whirled March 2026 Club Colorway "Beautiful Mind" Grey Cheviot sheep wool.

 

 

 

Back to Balls

This was my Quaker Yarn Stretcher Boomerang Shawl. I knitted it with handspun yarn.

 

From the pattern: "Barbara Walker lists the stitch as Quaker Ridging - hence the name."

 

 

All well and good, but I didn't care for it much; it was meh.

I didn't even finish it. It still had two tails that needed to be woven in.

I decided to repurpose and frogged (rip it, rip it) the shawl back to yarn.
