Boxed Lace Wrap

Don’t let superfine merino singles scare you. In this case, it makes a fabulous warp on a rigid-heddle loom. With a Tencel weft in the same tone as the warp, this shawl has a subtle glow and delicate lace pattern. Two pick-up sticks that slide over each other in the warp, eliminating the need to reinsert them, make it an easier-than-expected process to create such an elegant piece.
