photo above: 65 Roses Rigid Heddle silk scarf designed and woven by Peg MacMorris
We wanted to add a 65 Roses Rigid Heddle scarf to our array of 65 Roses silk weaving kits. I asked the fabulous Peg MacMorris to design something special for us. And, as usual, Peg has knocked this one out of the park!
This scarf uses a limited edition dyed 65 Roses "Guiding Spirit" yarn--the variegated stripes. Guiding Spirit is a rose that inspired this colorway.
Plus, Peg added some "roses" ("rose fashion" is a treadling order most often used with overshot) in the stripes, using pick-up technique.
There are 6 Roses in one stripe, and 5 Roses in the other stripe, weaving "65 Roses" (get it?! Peg's so clever!)
This is a nice-sized scarf: finished is 6-7/8 inches wide 68 inches woven, plus 5-1/4 inch twisted fringe on each end.
This weaving kit includes the instructions and all the silk to weave the scarf:
Kazoku, color #215 Eucalyptus
Jorie II, Limited Edition "Guiding Spirit"
Margaret, natural white
Margaret, color #215 Eucalyptus for the weft
