Scarves that Go Bump Kit
$86.00
These scarves should be just the beginning of your love affair with things that go bump in the night! Woven in deflected double weave with soft merino wool and 10/2 mercerized cotton. Warm enough for a cold winter day and bright and cheerful to elevate your mood! This kit contains enough yarn to weave 2 delightfully textured scarves (approximately 8” x 59” after washing). The combination of merino wool and mercerized cotton yarns in both warp and weft produce a fabric that has a bumpy 3-dimensional texture. These scarves look fabulous with a braided or twisted fringe edge, and adding a beaded edge can make these scarves twinkle!
Listen to the Loon! Difficulty level for this kit is Intermediate to Advanced (Two fish). This is a Four or Eight harness kit.
Superfine merino wool combines with our own Tubular Spectrum™ Mercerized cotton yarn to create these wonderful, deflected double weave scarves. The wool shrinks more than the cotton and creates a bumpy fabric.
Kit contains enough yarn for 2 long scarves. Finished scarves are approximately 8” x 59” after washing.
