Painted
Silk Rayon
Weaving Warps by Heritage Yarns
Heritage Yarns silk/rayon
scarf warps have a beautiful drape and hand and will save you time by
warping once and weaving two scarves.
The fiber
content of 20% silk/80% rayon is a wonderful combination for nice drape
and slight sheen that I think you will enjoy.
Pop this warp on the
loom with no painting, no winding. Just beam and weave! This
could almost be called a weekend project if you are a fast weaver.
This warp is 6 meters long (6-1/2 yds.). So, there's plenty of room for 2 scarves and an
evening bag. Weave a scarf for yourself and one for a
friend.
What are the options?
-
You may purchase
painted warps, wefts and pattern separately.
-
Already have a
pattern in mind? Just purchase a warp and weft.
-
8 ounces Heritage Yarns mill dyed 8/2
tencel for weft.
Optionally, select from
5/2 Perle Cotton
or
Jaggerspun Zephyr 2/18 silk/merino.
Finished size of the scarves: approximately
8-1/2" - 12” wide X 65” long, depending on
structure chosen, plus a 6” fringe on each end. Weave longer scarves
or save enough for an evening bag on the end of the warp.
Equipment
needed: four
to eight shaft loom, shuttle and bobbins.
Suggested
sett: 14 EPI
for plain weave, 18 EPI for twill and 20 EPI for advancing twill

Silk/Rayon Painted Warp
Scarf Weaving Pattern
Follow one of the six easy plans to weave two beautiful
scarves or two shorter scarves and a bag. For completely different scarves, treadle differently or
rethread for the second scarf and use a different weft.
Optional
structures given are plain weave and four, four-shaft twills, including an
expanded, advancing broken twill in two treadling options.
Below is a close-up of one of the
options in the pattern, the Three-Karat Diamond. The painted warp is
Atlantic Moonglow
silk/rayon woven with
Black 8/2 Tencel.
