Striped Tea Towel Set Pattern
Tea towels are a great weaving project for weavers in all stages of their adventures.
These tea towels have a bold but simple stripe pattern that is easy to weave on a rigid heddle loom.
This pattern is for 2 tea towels that are woven on the same warp. Set up your loom once for more than one weaving! Learn more about getting multiple weavings with the same warp here.
Just like all of my other rigid heddle patterns, this one can also be woven on any floor loom or multi-shaft loom.

Color Block Scarf Pattern
This scarf is my favorite rigid heddle project for beginner rigid heddle weavers! It is actually the pattern I use the most often in my beginner classes. Find out why this pattern is my favorite for new rigid heddle weavers here.
It features a simple color block pattern and uses a warm wool yarn that will continue to get softer as you wash it.
Even though this is a rigid heddle pattern, it can easily be converted to a floor loom pattern since it is plain weave.
Pattern includes recommended materials with total amounts needed as well as extra tips and aftercare information.

Subtle Striped Lace Scarf Pattern
This lace scarf is lightweight and great for cool weather! It features subtle vertical stripes due to the use of simple alternate threading and an uncomplicated hand-manipulated lace towards each end of the scarf. Woven as plain weave, this scarf shines through the small details, but weaves up fast!
This pattern is designed for a 4 harness floor loom, but can also be woven on 2 harnesses with no issues!
Pattern includes recommended materials with total amounts needed, weaving draft, step-by-step instructions to create the lace, and aftercare information.
Striped Houndstooth Scarf
This scarf has a fun stripe of hounds tooth on the side and features a slubby cotton yarn for subtle texture.
This pattern is designed for a rigid heddle loom but can also be woven on a floor loom!
Pattern includes recommended materials with total amounts needed, step-by-step instructions on how to interlock your discontinuous weft, and aftercare information.

Weaving Organization Spreadsheet
When it comes to organization it also pays to take a little bit of time to compile a list of all of your weavings and their info in one place. I created a spreadsheet that I keep in my Google Drive so that I can access it anytime, even on my phone!
This may not seem like a big deal, but if you’re ever talking to anyone about your work and you’re away from a computer – all you have to do is look at your phone to see how much you priced your weaving at!
When I first started my studio practice I didn’t have this and I would constantly be re-measuring artwork and trying to remember how many hours I spent on each piece…. etc. The spreadsheet has helped immensely whenever I apply for a show. I NEVER remember prices or sizes. Sometimes I don’t even remember the year it was finished….
I want you to be organized too, so I’ve made the same spreadsheet I use available to you!
