We sample all the kits we offer on our Etsy site and we have received requests for a scarf kit. I began work on this new kit with a project plan and measured the yarn for the warp, threaded my Schacht FLIP rigid heddle loom with the warp and started weaving with a measured amount of weft. The scarf was quick to weave, I used variegated washable sock yarn for the weft and cotton for the warp. I finished the weaving today and will tie the fringe and wet finish it tonight.
Looks like a new kit is on its way to our Etsy shop along with several new table runner/towel/placemat kits. Last step is to write the instructions which we include with every kit.
I am pleased with the scarf and will take better photos when it's done. We have purchased several different colorways in the sock yarn and will offer the new scarf kit in each.
For the past few weeks I have focused on the long warp on the Glimakra Standard that will be 4 baby wraps. There is a lot more going on in the studio. I've put together a quick video tour of the some other projects.
The warps are all designed and wound by Janet who has a fabulous eye for color. The Sedona wraps that are currently on the big loom was designed by Janet using a painting of Sedona, AZ. We were visiting Sedona in September and walked into an art and sculpture gallery where they featured the painting Janet used for this warp. She is very talented and has a great feel for color which can be seen in this and all the warps we produce.
BTW, Janet is the other half of Lotsaknots. She is a knitter, spinner and occasional weaver.
