Party of Five Scarf - SweetGeorgia Yarns Collaboration

Designed by Judy Pagels


SweetGeorgia’s stunning, warm colors and soft fibers make this scarf a perfect companion on the coldest of days, yet it is light enough for more temperate weather. It is woven on a 4-shaft loom in a balanced twill pattern which allows the colors to blend beautifully.

    Directions

    1. Warping: Using a warping board, measure 20 ends of each of the Party of Five in the sequence of Saffron, Dutch, Pumpkin, Cayenne, and Cherry, for a total of 100 ends. A floating selvedge (included in the total warp ends) is used at either selvedge.

    2. Weaving: Begin the piece with hemstitching (see The Weaver’s Idea Book by Jane Patrick for instructions). Use CashSilk and weave a 2/2 twill for 74”. The weave structure will look too open and may be a bit distorted when advancing the warp. This will be corrected in the finishing. End the weaving with hemstitching.
