The texture of this elegant scarf comes both from the varied weft yarns and the surface design techniques at the ends.
With a background in multi-shaft weaving, Kate found the prospect of a basic plain weave daunting, so she took a step back and let the yarn be the focus. Mixing gauges of two yarns with very different textures, she created a base pattern that was subtle yet textural. The design was inspired by classic border prints. The end result is subtle, but using vibrant complementary colors would create an effect like embroidered Mexican blouses.
The colorful yarn of the weft does all the work in making this piece a standout. Quick and easy to weave, this all-season scarf can be made in an afternoon from start to finish.

Plain natural-colored cotton on the loom, these towels reveal a hidden pattern when dyed. DyeLishus cotton accepts food-safe dyes, making this a perfect family project.

These scarves use the same yarns but switch them up, placing a self-striping yarn in the weft, above left, and the warp, above right. The result is a subtle horizontal color change in the first and a bold vertical stripe in the second.
Don’t let the heat deter you from summer weaving. Combine a fresh linen blend with silk/stainless steel yarn for a cool scarf.

You never know how colors will look until you weave them, so plaid is a fun way to experiment with color. For this scarf, choose bright eye-catching hues that evoke summer.
