Duet Favorites: Set of Two Patterns

Designed by Mariah Gaar and Emma Rhodes

Weave two of our favorite Duet patterns with just three cones of yarn: The Minimalist Scarf by Mariah Gaar and Citrus Towels by Emma Rhodes. The Citrus Towels is a straight-forward, beginner-friendly project with a striped warp and solid color weft. The Minimalist Scarf incorporates a unique skip-dent detail when sleying the reed and utilizes two shuttles in some areas of the pattern. As these are plain weave projects, they can be woven on either a rigid heddle or multi-shaft loom. Order a kit.

Beautiful yarn, but better for towels than scarf

I love the duet fiber, and it was easy and satisfying to work with. I made the minimalist scarf, and loved how it looked when finished. However, it was as stiff as tree bark, even after washing—not a nice drape as one would want in a scarf. I tried again, using a more open weave, and even took more warp threads out of the pattern to open and soften. This helped a bit, but it is still too stiff to comfortably wear as a scarf. I am a new weaver, so maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I think the towels would be a much better use for this fiber. Any suggestions would be welcome. Love the yarn and want to use it in other projects.

Great pattern; remember to adjust for loom waste

Beautiful pattern that's super easy to weave. I found that this is the first pattern I've woven that the loom waste was off; I didn't get to the last 7" before I ran out of warp (not including what was behind my beater). I would add another 10" next time to account for the waste. 6" of tassel also seemed a bit long.
