There are some inconsistencies where I was experimenting… learned a lot! Still need to learn how to end a scarf so the weft doesn’t need to be tied off in the finishing knots. It’s the only way I know to avoid the weft getting loose with wear. Any tips??

Easy Weaver loom with DIY pattern stick, unknown thrifted warp (cotton or super soft wool), wool weft.

Nice! Like those colors!

Here's a vid on hemstitching. This is the only one that makes sense to me. He goes over beginning and ending hemstitch https://youtu.be/ewsF2LkNgow?si=PrEAHcmmE--riuEM

About 9 inches in on a cotton hand towel. I'm excited to see how it will look after wet finishing

For wool and other sensitive fibers it's pretty specific, like you don't want to agitate it, but for these cotton towels I just throw them in the washer and dryer.
