Wash in hot water with soap, rinse in cool water with a 1/2 cup of vinegar, and then rinse in clean water for 15 minute each. To secure the weft for washing, knot the warp yarns in groups of 4 on both ends of the weaving. This will ensure that the houndstooth pattern will be balanced warp-wise and weft-wise. Weave a balanced weave which means that you will see a square space (not a rectangle space or lack of space) between the intersection of the warp and weft threads. Weaving:Īlternate 2 ends of Grey and 2 ends of Geranium, repeat, just as you did in the warp. Your color order will be 2 Grey, 2 Geranium, repeat. Wind the warp onto the back beam and then thread the adjacent holes. That is, sley all of the Grey yarns first, threading a slot, skipping a slot and so on. After all of the Grey yarns are threaded, fill in the empty slots with Geranium. ![]() Using the direct, peg warping method, alternate colors in each slot while warping. Houndstooth Pillow Equipment:Ģ skeins of Sheridan in Medium Grey (102 yards per skein) and 2 skeins of Sheridan in Geranium (102 yards per skein) Other Notions: ![]() If you make any of these projects or other woven projects with Mountain Meadow Yarns, tag them on Instagram with the hashtag #MountainMeadowWeaves. The rise of small looms continues, and you can create stunning woven pieces in very little time, with nothing more than plain weave and some stunning yarn. All three of the following projects can be made with the 20″ model of Flip. Their rustic, American grown and milled yarn paired perfectly with the Schacht Flip Loom. For this month’s yarn collaboration, we worked with Mountain Meadow Yarns.
