Figured out to weave a waffle-like pattern on the heddle-loom. Pickup-sticks for the win.

Glam-rock scarf finished on my 3D printed rigid heddle loom. Used some rainbow yarn for the warp and some black with metallic glitter for the weft. #weaving #handweaving #handwoven

Finished another scarf on the 3D printed rigid heddle loom, maybe not the best color choices as it looks a little like crayon on burlap 🤪 #weaving #handweaving #handwoven

3-D printed connectors and heddles + wooden dowels for the frame + tensioners. Main thing I would change would be to replace the 3D-printed ratchet & dog with something a bit more sturdy, that's the main thing that doesn't always work right.

New scarf finished - figured out how to weave a simple plaid. 3D printed rigid heddle loom is still holding up.

New scarf finished. Tried a very simple color&weave pattern this time. The 3D printed loom holding up pretty well, although I'll likely replace the ratchet dog as that seems to be the main point of failure/frustration.

Yesterday our STEM Ambassadors class did a number of chemistry demos for a local high school class. Of course there was fire :)
