Double Weave
Project Status: 
Finished
Yarn
Yarn: Minerva Sparkletone
Color:
Type: warp
Loom
Number of Shafts: 
4
Sett: 
10.00 EPI
Length on Loom: 
9.00 ft
Width on Loom: 
31.00 in
Finished Length: 
7.00 ft
Finished Width: 
5.00 ft
Notes: 

This blanket used pickup sticks to create a double weave that could be unfolded when finished to create a blanket twice the width of the loom. I had a few problems with the shed not opening cleanly so I have some floating threads here and there, but considering the yarn was leftover moth-eaten rug yarn I am really pleased with the results. The fold is still pretty obvious; but I expect it will disappear with some use and washing.

Wow! I love it! Here I am

Wow! I love it! Here I am agonizing over putting a double weave project on my 4 shaft floor loom! That is beautiful! I love the warm colors and that tiny blue stripe makes it perfect to me!

Okay, this is one of a few absolutely amazing projects I have seen completed on a RH loom.
