Once the Brooks bouquet sequence is complete,
weave 2" of plain weave before beginning the huck
lace sequence.6
Beginning on the left side, weave 1 complete huck lace
sequence as shown in the draft.7
On the fi rst pick of the second huck lace sequence,
work a single Brooks bouquet on an open shed in the
center section of plain weave: Raise shafts 1 and 3 (treadle
2) and pass the shuttle through the shed until you reach the
center section of the crammed and empty dents. Exit the
shed in the space created by the empty dent on the left of
that section and reenter the shed in the space on the right
of that section. Pass the shuttle through the remainder of
the open shed. Continue to weave the huck lace sequence
until pick 15, where you will create a single Brooks bouquet
in each of the side plain-weave sections as you did for the
center section. Complete the second huck lace sequence.8
Repeat steps 6 and 7 twice more. Repeat step 6 once
more.9
Weave 2" of plain weave before repeating steps 4 and 5.10
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for a total of 7 times. Weave
step 6 once more.11
Weave 2" of plain weave before repeating step- Weave 2" of plain weave. Finish by weaving a
few picks with scrap yarn to protect the weft.

Leaving at least 3–4" for fringe on both ends, cut the
fabric from the loom. Prepare a twisted fringe using
multiples of 3 threads (6 in each twist), removing the scrap
yarn as you work. Trim the fringe ends.13
Wet-fi nish in warm water by gently agitating and
then leaving the scarf to soak for 20 minutes. Line-
dry. Press with a warm iron.14
Seam the cloth together as shown in Figure 2. Being
careful not to twist the fabric, match points d and c
on end A (the starting end) to points a and b on the left edge
of end B. Overlap end A on this edge just enough to sew the
two pieces together. Pin. Sew by hand using matching sewing
thread. Be mindful of the fringe: keep it out of the stitching
and keep it on the outside front face of the fabric.RACHEL SIMMONS is an enthusiast of fiber in all its forms. She maintains
