Boxed Lace Wrap

Don’t let superfine merino singles scare you. In this case, it makes a fabulous warp on a rigid-heddle loom. With a Tencel weft in the same tone as the warp, this shawl has a subtle glow and delicate lace pattern. Two pick-up sticks that slide over each other in the warp, eliminating the need to reinsert them, make it an easier-than-expected process to create such an elegant piece.

This year, Tammy discovered Malabrigo Lace, a superfine singles yarn. Rather than be intimidated by it, she decided to jump right in and use it for warp and was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked. She paired the Malabrigo with Tencel in the same tone to produce a wrap with a subtle glow and a delicate lace design. The pattern is created using two pick-up sticks that slide over each other, eliminating the need to continually reinsert them; the result is a simple yet elegant project.
