Kit - Weaving - "A Winter Confection" Scarves by Sandra Hutton
LIMITED EDITION 8-Shaft, 2-Scarves Weaving Kit in **FOUR** color options:
Sandra Hutton's wonderful 8-shaft advancing point twill is featured in Handwoven January/February 2019 issue (p32-34).
Sandy's design makes me think of dripping icicles. For added interest, Sandy selected a pale, sophisticated peach color in the warp to create a subtle stripe.
Resilience yarn is a unique blend of fibers--bamboo has become common, but this is RETTED bamboo, which is processed like linen and other bast fibers.
The retted bamboo gives the yarn a little more body, or "crispness" compared to 100% silk. Sandy also noticed less static electricity than the typical extruded or "rayon" bamboo yarns.
Your Limited Edition "A Winter Confection" Scarves Kit makes two scarves, each about 9" wide and 62" long (including 6" fringe each end, before twisting)
