Weaving A Triangular Shawl




A wooden frame works the same way as a loom. Roll the White Angora yarn from bottom to top then back to the bottom, ... and so on.




Cut one line of the yarn from the top and weave to the side using the diagonal wire as a guide.






More lines of yarn at the top have been cut and weave to the right side. The ends of the cut yarn are parked on the Velcro strip that is attached to the frame.


It's getting close to completion.









View from the other side.





Done. Cut the bottom yarns.






Tie a knot on every four strands of yarn as tassels and to secure the edges. Trim the tassels to approximately even length.


Now just needs a person to model the shawl.

    That's pretty neat. Did Albert make the frame for you? It's a beautiful shawl.
