Kit - Rigid Heddle Weaving - "Ribbed Stripes" Silk Scarf
LIMITED EDITION Rigid Heddle Weaving Kit designed and woven by Peg MacMorris
Peg’s design inspiration was a technique by Jane Patrick using bundles of warp threads grouped in one slot, producing a vertical “rib”.
Peg used 6-thread bundles of Jorie II silk to make a lustrous rib in this silk scarf--no special reed needed--you'll use your 10-dent reed.
Peg’s ribs are interspersed with areas containing Noil Silk, creating a subtle color and weave effect. Noil is an economical silk with a lovely, “rustic” feel.
COLORS:
Peg used a relatively light-value color #215 Eucalyptus (green, left scarf) and #401 Blue Slate to weave the middle scarf.
Joy wove it #958 Gypsy Passion (right) for all you passionate red-violet people!
All are fabulous!
We have dyed eight of our favorite colors for you to choose from...if you don't see the color (seven are pictured left) in the drop down box, it's sold out. *Call us toll free 1.888.233.7455 (silk) and ask to be put on the dye list.
