Pacific Plaid Scarf

The Pacific Plaid scarf was designed to play with stripes, plaids, and tartan designs all on one warp. Design and choose a stripe pattern you like by creating some yarn windings first.

You are welcome to dress your loom however you prefer. Felicia set up an 8/2 cotton dummy warp with her sectional warping equipment and tied the new warp to the dummy warp. Then she used her DIY warping trapeze to beam the warp myself. The pattern instructions here describe a more conventional back-to-front warping process.

This sampler was woven with Knoll 17/2 Nm Merino Lambswool yarn. As an alternative, you could use the same instructions and weave a sampler with Gist Array wool yarn to create a finer, thinner cloth. Experiment with different colours and yarns to see what you can create!
