Hi Weavers!
One of the best rigid heddle weaving beginner projects, in my opinion, is scarves.
You get a manageable “canvas” where you can practice your rhythm, master your beat and learn how different yarns behave on the loom.
The narrow warp of a scarf project is optimal for first time warping too – a consistent warp tension is so much easier to achieve when there is less of it to manage!
Here are 5 ideas to get you started:

DAILY CREATIVE PRACTICE
Sharing a "Daily Creative Check In" on Substack has been the most brilliant motivator for me lately.
Some of my recent projects have included spinning, weaving (of course!!), painting, knitting, slow stitching, machine knitting, nålbidning and crochet.
To see and hear more about these exciting things I'm working on, come on over and subscribe to my Substack.

LOJAN IN STOCK
I'm happy to say that I currently have a fairly healthy stock of Lojan inkle looms and accessories. I even have a couple of the most popular Complete Edition Inkle Looms!
I have been informed by Lojan that price rises will be taking effect shortly, so it's a great time to secure your loom before that happens.
This week I have been getting to know my new Lojan Buddy Double Treadle Spinning Wheel and I can't wait to share more about that with you all.
Reply to this email if you're in Australia and wish to enquire about any Lojan products.
In the US, I recommend Revolution Fibers or the Woolery for Lojan products.
