For this scarf, Judith used a resist-dyed skein of yarn. Before the skein was dipped into a black dyebath, sections of it were tightly wrapped to prevent the dye from penetrating the yarn. Those wrapped sections created areas of undyed yarn that were left as white in the middle of the skein; the pivot points at the ends were dyed gold and pink, creating a skein that is symmetrical.
When choosing colors for this shimmering scarf, Shilpa knew exactly what she was looking for: maroon to represent bravery and strength, and yellow for competence. Detailed borders created with pick-up and Brooks bouquet add elegance to the calm weft-float patterns of the scarf’s body.

Is stash-busting real or a weaver’s myth? Either way, this large scarf in a freewheeling plaid is a great way to reduce your stash to make room for, well, more yarn.

Reach for the stars with this beautiful scarf. Beaded weft loops combine with a simple clasped-warp design to create a meteor shower in miniature along the length of the scarf.
