Swedish Lace Napkin Pattern for the Rigid Heddle

CA$8.99

Yes, you can weave lace on a rigid heddle! These napkins have everything…colour, size and texture. Woven with cotolin they feel great, and you can weave each one a little different so everyone can recognize their own napkin!

This pattern will require a little extra patience and good eyesight! It uses a 15-dent reed and requires * a lot * of cutting and tying during the warping process. While weaving, you can weave all one colour for simplicity or weave each one differently. If you choose to weave the gingham pattern, be prepared for lots of colour changes.

To weave this pattern, you will need to use 2 pick-up sticks (one which needs to be reinserted each time it is used, string heddles, or a combination of the 2. I recommend using 1 pick-up stick and 1 set of string heddles. But don’t let the complexity of this pattern scare you away, the pattern is packed with video links to help you succeed.

A 4-shaft weaving draft is included at the end of the pattern. (Thank you @stitchenscraps)

Equipment: min. 15” rigid heddle and a 15-dent reed, 2 pick-up sticks or 1 pick-up stick and a heddle rod (I use a spare shuttle), up to 4 shuttles for weaving, and all the usual weaving paraphernalia.

Makes 4 - 10” x 10” napkins. ** instructions for a 12x12 variation is included at the end of the pattern.
