This week’s weaving project, woven with Noro Tsubame yarn (worsted weight; 50% Silk/ 25% Wool/ 25% polyamide). This scarf only took 50g (roughly 165 yds) of the 200g ball. I used the spaced warp method, but you can’t really tell that in the finished scarf after it’s finished.

Finished Object: “Nuuk” Pullover by Jonna Hietala
I finally finished my “Nuuk” pullover by Jonna Hietala yesterday and it fits really well, so I’m glad I decided to go down a size for this particular project. (Yarn used was Noro Tennen in Alpine colorway).
I have two other sweaters on the needles now…the new “Soundtrack” pattern being one of them (more on that later).
This week’s project #2: More Noro Tennen Yarn on the loom
Since I had such good luck with the Alpine colorway of Noro Tennen yarn I picked up from Hook A Frog (Madison,AL) a few weeks ago, I decided to weave another scarf from it…just in a different colorway (Smoky #2). I spaced the warp a little differently because I wanted a net like effect and a lot of drape. I’m pleased with the results and plan to weave a few more of these since I have so much of this yarn.
Fiber Content: Noro Tennen (50% Wool/25% Silk/25% Alpaca)
Weekend Scarf Weaving:November 16-17, 2019
This past Friday, I spent all day on the road (7:45 am-8:15pm) participating in the Deep South Yarn Hop. My yarn shop co-worker and I visited all three Nashville area shops and then barely made it south to the Gadsden shop before it closed at 6pm. When I got home after 8pm (with my hands filled with new yarn and fiber), I was ready to go to bed. Saturday, I taught two classes at the yarn shop (an intermediate weaving class and a Yarn 101 class), which meant I didn’t get home until after 6pm when it was all said and done.
Some friends were coming over at 6:30, so I had just enough time to warp my loom before they pulled into the driveway. I ended up in bed before 10pm, so the loom would have to wait until the next morning.
Sunday, I wove off and on all day long and ended up weaving two finished scarves. The first was woven from Berroco Sesame yarn (7430 “pickled ginger” colorway), and the second was from Noro Tennen (“Alpine” colorway #25). I’ve never woven the warp and weft with only Noro before (it’s single ply and notorious for breaking), but I was successful in this attempt and I’m pleased with the results.
Fiber Content: Berroco Sesame (43% Wool/ 39% Acrylic/ 9% Cotton/ 9% Nylon); Noro Tennen (50% Wool/25% Silk/25% Alpaca)
