Basic Skills Necessary:

Beginning spinning skills
Ability to warp a rigid-heddle loom

Pattern Description:

Weaving with singles—a single strand of handspun yarn—is one of the best reasons to weave. By spacing the yarns loosely and weaving with a light beat you allow room for the energy in the singles to move in the finished cloth.

More than a pattern, this is a workbook that gives you all the tools you need to adapt the pattern to your yarn's specification.

This cute cowl is a great project to use your first handspun and you will become addicted to making--and wearing--cowl after cowl.
