Originally published in the Fall 2024 issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, Annabelle Johnstone’s Queenslander Scarf has a subtle mock waffle weave texture. While true waffle weave is a twill structure requiring more than two shafts or the use of pick-up sticks, the Queenslander Scarf is a breeze to weave because it’s all plain weave. The texture comes about mostly because the alternating warp and weft threads are different diameters. Try it with your own handspun!
Another feature of the Queenslander Scarf is that the yarns have different fiber compositions. In the wet-finishing process, this can result in an effect known as differential shrinkage. Learn all about this cool effect and how to choose fibers for it in Pamela K. Schultz’s article about Differential Shrinkage, first published in Easy Weaving with Little Looms Holiday 2021.
