Autumn Lights Scarf

Designed by Jane Patrick; woven by Betty Paepke


We’ve used dreamy La Boheme from Fiesta Yarns for this fall-ish scarf, perfect for the first crisp September evening. Though the yarn is somewhat heavy, the scarf has a lovely soft drape, due in part by skipping dents in the reed to create longer weft floats along the length of the scarf.
