Weaving Design Plans
Alice Starmore’s Weaving Design Collection gives the warp and weft layout instructions, sizes and yarn amount guidelines for 16 woven pieces. All the example designs were woven on a rigid heddle loom in a plain weave using Hebridean 2 or 3 Ply yarn for both warp and weft. The loom used was 25 inches with an 8 e.p.i heddle, but many of the examples shown here are narrower than the full width of the loom. Plan instructions are given in repeats so that you can easily make the designs narrower or wider, shorter or longer to suit your own requirements and the width of your own loom.
This collection is entirely digital and contains no physical content. All content is accessed online via our steek dot scot website so a computer and internet connection are essential to access and use the design plans. The design plans are viewed online and are displayed on online pages. They are not designed to be printed out. Full colour illustrations and photographs are used to illustrate each woven piece.
This collection is designed for use on a rigid heddle loom using Hebridean 2 or 3 Ply yarn, no responsibilty can be taken if other yarns are used unsuccessfuly.
This collection does not contain any video tutorials. If you are a beginner and do not know how to set up and weave using a rigid heddle loom, a beginners tutorial class for the rigid heddle loom can be purchased here.

What yarn will I need for these designs?
Alice Starmore™ Hebridean 2 Ply pure new wool yarn has been used for all the woven pieces in this collection. No other yarns have been used for the example pieces and no responsibilty can be taken if other yarns are used unsuccessfuly. Please note that highly processed yarns, superwash yarns, worsted yarns and any yarns containing fibre other than pure new wool will not full successfully. Some woollen spun yarns may full but the results can be coarse and unpleasant to the touch and there is no guarantee that the correct sizes, shapes and effects can be achieved. Not all yarns are suitable for weaving. All yarns behave differently when woven and will give different results and final effects.
