Weaving instructions

Weave the scarf with the light green Veera Comb Wool yarn. Weave 13 cm plain weave at the beginning and the end of the scarf. Weave in the middle of the scarf 143 cm according to the treadling instructions. The density of the weave is 6 picks/cm. Join the weft only on the edge, taper the end of the thread (cut off one strand). The woven length is approx. 170 cm. Measures when taken off the loom 61 x 160 cm. After washing and steaming 59 x 154 cm.

Finishing

Sew the scarf ends with 3-step zigzag stitches and cut the pieces apart. Make sure the end doesn´t unravel. Wet the fabric in lukewarm water, put in a few drops washing detergent (wool). Move carefully. Rinse and dry as straight as possible. Press or steam carefully from both sides.

Turn the hems and press the folds. The inside allowance is approx. 8 mm and the width of the finished hem is approx. 12 mm. Sew the hems with the same thread used for the warp or for the weft.
