LIMITED EDITION Rigid Heddle Weaving Kit Collaboration between Susan Du Bois and Robin Wilton (featured in Little Looms magazine 2026 spring issue, page 33

note: Stars of Hope was originally named "White Rose Star Cluster"

The “up in the air” theme of Little Looms Spring 2026 issue spoke to us of distant galaxies and inspired the deep blue palette of the scarf. 

Today, it is still science fiction to visit those galaxies.  A cure for cystic fibrosis is also still science fiction—although science has developed new medications to extend the life of many with CF.

The centerpiece of the scarf is the variegated blue silk yarn in 65 Roses color “Rose Lake.” It's called "65 Roses" color because young children often say “65 Roses” when pronouncing the name of their disease. Treenway Silks donates a minimum of 10% of 65 Roses Kit sales in honor of Andrea's angels to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis

In the scarf, the pops of gold, yellow and white represent the brightest stars in that distant galaxy and the hope for a cure. Hence the name "Stars of Hope".
