Goldenrod Scarf

Mix it up a bit on your rigid-heddle loom by combining plain weave with handworked Danish medallions that flow both horizontally and vertically. The textures and patterns created add a wow factor to this single-color scarf.

Making Danish medallions on the loom is one of Christine’s favorite hand-manipulated weaving techniques. Typically, Danish medallions serve as a horizontal element, woven from selvedge to selvedge, with a thick weft to emphasize the outlines. Christine tweaked those “rules” a bit, using the same weft to weave the medallions both horizontally and vertically. This made for easier weaving and fewer ends to work in. The sheer scale of the scarf and medallions really amps up the wow factor for this single-color project.
