LIMITED EDITION 8-Shaft, "Mariner's Compass" Silk-Blends Scarf Weaving Kit  

Featured in WEFT Summer 2026 "Twill" issue is our"Mariner's Compass" scarf, a collaboration between Robin Wilton & Susan Du Bois.

This is an original network-drafted Twill on 8 shafts.  The yarns used are skinny, so the design's motifs are a nice size.

Your Limited Edition "Mariner's Compass Scarf Kit includes your choice of yarn colors below (Make color selection in drop down box). 
Please note, WEFT magazine uses a 3.5yard warp, which includes 27" of sampling/loom waste (above an beyond the 18" needed for fringe). You can make your warp shorter if you need less loom waste.  Or you can weave your scarf longer.
