Chameleon Ombre Scarf Kit
Blend three colors of yarn across the warp and weft to make a lovely scarf that gently shifts color from one edge to the other. These scarves are designed to give you this fun color experience on either your Rigid Heddle or 4-shaft Loom! Have fun and change color!
This kit has three 1 ½ ounce cones of each of three analogous colors from our own Tubular Spectrum color wheel in 10/2 Mercerized Cotton.
Gradients for Your Table
We had so much fun with the Discover Gradients Weave Along, that we created Napkin and Placemat instructions using the gradient lessons in the class as a launching pad for our design. The napkins are woven with 10/2 Tubular Spectrum™ mercerized cotton yarn, and the placemats are woven with 3/2 Tubular Spectrum™ mercerized cotton yarn. Each kit contains enough yarn for warp and weft and has multiple color options. Both the napkin and placemats have instructions for either shaft looms or rigid heddle looms.
These are the same colorways from the Discover Gradients class. Add to your collection of colors at a great price.
