Having not used the rigid heddle loom for a bit, I decided to put a warp on it and make a scarf. Now that I am proficient at warping my floor loom, this seems much easier to do.
I used three yarns for the warp. For the "background" color I used a gray. Then I added small sections of a variegated teal/aqua that has shiny silver threads running through it. And there is a similar red/burgundy with the same silver in it.
I love the sparkle of silver in the red and aqua stripes.
If you are curious to learn how to weave on a rigid heddle loom, you can learn it in the Craftsy Class - Rigid Heddle Weaving.

I always love sparkle! Very pretty scarf!
Lovely colors Gene. When I first learned how to weave back in '78 I went right to the 4 harness loom I still use it-was a 30" table loom but the company sold a conversion kit to make into a floor loom. I need to play on that little 4 harness loom soon I think it is only around 6 to 8" wide was a sample loom. we have had a rough winter health wise so I am anxious to get creative again.
That is going to be a nice scarf. We love the ones you made for us. The black and gold ones got a lot of use when we went to Philly over the holidays.
