Deborah Jarchow’s stunning woven CinCin & Silkhair Poncho combines two yarns to create a cloth with vibrant color and interesting texture. Both yarns feature subtle tonal color changes. The Cin Cin also features textural changes within the yarn itself. Areas of the yarn are smooth and slightly thinner, morphing into a thicker, bumpy structure that creates wonderful variety in the finished woven cloth. The loom is warped with alternate areas of the two yarns which gives the finished garment a subtle stripe.
The Cin Cin & Silkhair Poncho is designed to be woven on a 24" rigid heddle loom and requires 3 balls of Trendsetters' Cin Cin yarn and 1 ball of Lana Grossa's Silkhair Print yarn.
This pattern assumes you are familiar with direct warping and hemstitching.
A few color combinations are suggested below, or feel free to create your own.
Sold as a printed pattern or downloadable PDF.

Celebrate color and texture with Trendsetter's worsted-weight Cin Cin yarn. Made in Italy, this fun slub yarn’s name means “Cheers!” or “to your health!”. It’s constructed of a blend of viscose, cotton, acrylic, and polyester and is one of the two yarns featured in Deborah Jarchow’s beautiful woven CinCin and Silkhair Poncho (available as a Pattern & Kit in our Pattern section).
Slub yarns are yarns with thick and thin sections alternating regularly or irregularly to create varied texture. Combine that with this yarn’s vibrant, eclectic colors, and Cin Cin is as much fun to work with as it is to wear! Great choice for knitting and crochet, as well as weaving.

This beautiful Phoenix Top is designed by Deborah Jarchow. Says Deborah, “The Trendsetter Phoenix yarn I chose for this project drapes beautifully and creates interesting texture and color-play in the fabric. This top is flattering and easy to wear."
The Phoenix Top is designed to be woven on a 24" rigid heddle loom and requires 17 balls (50g each) of Trendsetters' Phoenix or Phoenix Print yarn.
Deborah's tip: "To make the most of the yarn design, it works best to mix two (2) balls of yarn in both the warp and the weft so the thin & thick and the color differences mix randomly. This makes the texture and color more evenly distributed for a more unified cloth.”
