I finally did it! I set a goal to weave a scarf with my very own handspun yarn, and I'm thrilled to share the journey with you. You see, I rarely get the chance to use my own yarn creations because I usually can't resist listing them in my Etsy store as soon as they're ready. But this time, I made an exception and dove into a creative adventure.
The star of this weaving project is a (corespun) yarn that I crafted from a vast array of fibers: wool, merino, mohair, alpaca, viscose, angelina, and wool locks. The result? A scarf that's wonderfully fluffy, sparkly, and just a tad Hagrid-y (any fellow Harry Potter fans out there?).
For this hand-spun art yarn scarf, I turned to my trusty 6-foot-long frame loom, a DIY creation I put together about a year ago. Initially, I wasn't entirely satisfied with what was on the loom, so I decided to start fresh. In one inspired night of weaving, I crafted this chunky scarf that I couldn't be happier with. Okay, full disclosure, I may have thrown out my back in the process, but trust me, the end result was worth it!
Curious about the making of this whimsical scarf and the artistry behind it? Dive into the behind-the-scenes documentation below, where you can watch the magic of the yarn and scarf come to life.
I'm so excited to share this creative journey with you, and I hope it inspires you to embark on your own crafting adventures. Stay tuned for more yarny delights and handmade wonders coming your way!
