Colour Field Scarf
A Weaving Pattern for Rigid Heddle Looms // Design by Felicia Lo
Weave a beautifully elegant and silky scarf that can be customized through colour. Choose a range of hand-dyed semi-solid sock yarns for the warp and bring them all together with a single hand-dyed lace yarn.
Your choice of warp and weft colours will make all the difference! For this scarf, Felicia chose to use six different colours for the warp, but you could choose just two or three colours, or hold a few different colours together to make fine stripes. It’s up to you!
The pattern is free for School of SweetGeorgia members.
