Bumpy Bamboo Scarves

This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave these Bumpy Bamboo Scarves that were designed by Barbara Layton Rucker for Handwoven, Jan/Feb 2010, pages 52–54.

Create surprising color and texture contrast in M's & O's.

While the weave structure appears to be complex, it's quite easy to manipulate this M's & O's technique using any 4 or 6 shaft loom. You'll love the results!

You can choose to make scarf #1 in Desert Sunrise (scarf on left) or make both scarf #1 and scarf #2 in the Seaside (scarf in upper right).
