Finnish crafter weaves wool scarf on rigid heddle loom

Original: Opettelin kutomaan pirtakangaspuilla. Tein noin 2,5 metrisen villahuivin. Ihan yllätyin, miten hyvä tuli vaikka puissa n

A Finnish hobbyist has taught herself to weave on pirtakangaspuu, a traditional rigid heddle loom, and finished a wool scarf of roughly 2.5 metres. She says she was surprised by how well it turned out, since the threads on the loom looked uneven and sparse, and notes the technique can be done without a shed stick. The post has drawn warm engagement from the Finnish handcraft community.

Why now: Traditional Finnish handcrafts and DIY weaving are having a moment, and finished beginner projects resonate with the crafting community.
