Easy Ombre Scarf - Voolenvine Yarns Collaboration

Designed by Benjamin Krudwig


When we decided to bring back yarn company collaborations for 2018, I immediately put Voolenvine Yarns on my list. Three years ago, I worked with her yarns in the Density Plaid Wrap. I loved the doubled threads that created the crammed/spaced plaid effect, however the speckled nature of the yarn didn't highlight this difference in texture. I wanted to revisit that textural motif in this collaboration. For this scarf I'm using two colors to create an easy fade or ombre-effect in the warp.

    blank

    • 15” Cricket rigid heddle loom

    Directions

    1. Warp in the following color order: 4" S held double, 4" DC + S held together, 4" DC held double. By holding the two colors together in the center portion, you get an even mixing of the two colors.

    2. Hemstitch at beginning.

    3. Weave with Solstice doubled in plain-weave for just over 2/3rds of the warp, then finish by weaving with Dead Calm doubled.

    4. Hemstitch at end.
