The pinwheel is a color-and-weave design that is usually done on four or more harnesses. If you have a rigid heddle loom, a pick-up stick, and a little time, you can do pinwheel, too. We've used 3/2 Perle Cotton in contrasting colors and sett it at 12 or 12.5 ends per inch. Stripes of color in both the warp and the weft, worked using a pick-up technique, create the look of spinning pinwheels.
