OK, I finally caved. But considering the cost of variegated yarn from Silk City Fibers, minimum of a pound plus each cone, assuming you have a wholesale account with them, the idea of creating a kit from the five yarns needed to create the project I featured in the current issue of Handwoven Magazine, you could have a new loom! Irene Schmoller from Cotton Clouds has created a kit form, in her words:
| You’ll save by ordering this kit, because we’ve wound just the right amount (plus some) of the yarns you’ll need to complete this project; without having to purchase full cones of each yarn! |
Anyway, for just under $40, Irene has wound enough yarn for one scarf (four or eight shaft), and for $70, you can purchase enough yarn to make two. Additional options include the magazine (necessary for the directions) if you don’t already own a copy. Considering the yarn in this scarf, which is mostly warp face, that’s a great price.
Here is the link for the page for ordering kits… Click here…
And for those of you who haven’t seen the scarves, here are detail photos, there is a four shaft version, without the twill, and an eight shaft version with additional twill. There is a supplemental ribbon in both versions.
That scarf is absolutely beautiful!!! I just can’t imagine how you create such gorgeous things. You are “talent” personified.
Daryl, stunning work, as usual. Your work is eye candy and always inspires. But, your greatest gift to us is your generosity – teaching us the skills and building our confidence so we can aspire to such creativity and beauty.
Thank you so much for sharing all you share.
Wonderful! Thank you so very much. :>) Jennifer
So I caved, too, and bought a kit. It’s just too inspiring not to!
Oh, I’m so glad you made this into a kit, I love, love, love the design and the vibrant yet subdued colors….so much texture it’s absolutely beautiful…guess I’ll be visiting the store….and putting this in my shopping cart.
