Braspberry Scarves
This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave these Braspberry Scarves that were designed by Sarah Jackson and featured on the cover of Handwoven, May/June 2019.
Weave two scarves on a single warp!
Inspired by the rich hues of blueberries and raspberries, these scarves feature a lively palette of blue-purples and red-violets.
The first scarf is woven with a turned taqueté treadling, using one color at a time to create a bold, graphic design. The second scarf blends two weft colors in each pick, producing a softer, more understated pattern that gently shifts in color from end to end.
For an added touch, you can embellish the second scarf with beads—placing one bead at the first pick of each new color change—for a delicate sparkle at every transition. (Beads are optional and not included in the kit.)
