A friend who just learned to weave last Fall, drug me to the Little Loom House, close to home here in Louisville, KY, and demanded I give it a try. I started with an empty loom and wove two scarves over vacation this Spring. I recently bought a used, rigid heddle loom. Watching me warp the thing could cause some of you to literally roll on the floor laughing. The Dazzle yarn would have done it for sure! That was language unbecoming of a lady. For those too young to have ever seen it, Dazzle or Dazzleaire was an incredibly soft, poor man's mohair.

What I'm wondering is what weight yarn do you reccommend to use to warp the loom for a scarf? I bought some Paton's Ci Ci (black/white/gray) and am going to warp the loom in black/white/gray. My question is which would be a more appropriate weight to use for warp for a scarf Red Heart Sport or Caron Simply Soft? I expect to have to use some sports weight yarn on the shuttle with the Ci Ci.

I've been crocheting since Jan., 1977, and knitting since December, 2005. My yarn stash might eventually get a dent in it. For the record, I'm not one of those beginners who goes out and buys expensive yarn and the best equipment because nothing else will do. I know the rigid heddle loom is limiting, but if I want lace, I'll crochet it. (Sorry, that's my knitting attitude.) I'll leave the four harness looms to those with more time and floor space.
