My first handspun on my floor loom! (eek, I’m not nervous, really!)
113 ends, warp 3.5 yards
Floating selvedges, hanging separate from warp.
4 shaft straight twill threading and treadling.
12-dent reed

Originally 10-dent reed with point-twill threading.
4/13/18, lashed on and starting weaving!

Sett felt too loose, impossible for me to achieve 10 ppi and the pattern looked very messy with the multi-colored warp and weft along with the point twill.

I un-wove what I had and re-threaded to straight twill and re-sleyed in 12-dent reed.
Hemstitch 4x3.

NB: Be very gentle placing weft!

Completed and cut off the loom 4/15/18, along with a 20” sample at the end (tencel weft, point treadling).

Cut the fringe to 5”, used leClerc fringe twister 15 twists.

The sample piece used ‘hummingbird’ and ‘eggplant’(?) 8/2 tencel. 20 1/2” x 8 1/2” before wet finishing, with 2” fringe(!! -- don’t do that again!)

Wet finishing: First I just soaked in Euclan like I do knitwear. But I could poke holes in it with my fingers and it didn’t ‘feel’ like a scarf. So, per Laura Fry’s Wet Finishing instructions: agitate by hand in warm water with Eucalan to begin fulling process. Then whacked on a table-top for a while to get to the fullness I wanted (not fully felted, but definitely fulled). Drying on towels. Trimmed the fuzzies beyond the knotted fringe. What a difference!
Lessons learned:
Weave a longer scarf. At least 10%, 15% if fulling.
Less weight on floating selvedges. One broke but was easily repaired.
Leave 6” for fringes. I forgot to leave enough between the end of the scarf and the sample bit so had to cut them to 5”, which gave a short 3” fringe after fulling.

~80” on the loom, 9.5” in the reed.
74” x 8.5” off the loom.
Finished: 69”x7.5”, w/3” fringe
