Me and my mum went to an weaving course over 2 days. On the first day we get to calculate and choose yarn and do math! It was not that fun (but it was good, because I learned something). And we did the warping of our looms. On the second day (a week apart) we get to weave.
The course was to make a scarf. The course was held in a yarn store, so that we could choose yarn there, but we could also bring our own. I had yarn with me, but looked in the store, and fell for this color combination.
The warp is Sarah by Permin, 50% shetland wool /50% merino. And for the weaving yarn (not sure what its called in english, woof perhaps?), I chose a soft llama silk (70% baby llama/ 30% mulberry silk).
Now its finished, and I have washed it and its ready to be a present! Its my first weave on a Cricket loom (or the likes), so I see lots of potential to get better! But Im so happy with how it turned out and now I want to make more scarfs!
My goodness, that is gorgeous! I love the dark, moody color combination and the description of the yards makes it sound so cozy and soft. What a lovely gift this will be!
Maybe the word is “weft” in English? We have some folks here who will know for sure!

Love that you were able to make something so lovely after a few lessons! I love the look of woven scarves and shawls. Can’t wait to see your future projects…and those of your mom’s!
