Enkel coverlet, choose your colors

This satisfying coverlet is fairly quick and easy to weave, as far as sheepskin-backed coverlets go. Purchase this warp all ready to beam onto your loom at home. No need to worry about the math, simply choose your colors and let us do the rest.

How to choose your colors:

1. Find our Blanket wool and 16/1 linen colors via the Related Items below.
2. Use this handy PDF chart to keep track of your color names and numbers.
3. Email your color choices to orders@vavstuga.com at the time you place your order.

Project details:
The enkel ("single" or "simple") skillbragd uses a "single harness" of 6 shafts rather than the "double harness" (2 sets of shafts) that skillbragd (or smålandsväv) uses. One way to think of this structure is as a kind of 3-block monksbelt.

• This warp is wound with 4 ends in hand ready for beaming, as described in our "Flippy" book. Having 4 ends together on the lease sticks makes the threading more foolproof.
