What’s the Stitch About Knitting Machines?
Let's talk about knitting machines! What are they, how do they work, and does it count as hand crafting if you use one? Why choose a knitting machine vs knitting by hand?
This weaving kit is designed to create a colorful and soft scarf made of 100% wool and mohair boucle in no time. You can use any Ashford rigid heddle loom to craft this luxurious scarf for yourself or as a gift. This kit is good for both experienced and beginner weavers.
What’s included in each kit?
• Complete, clear warping and weaving instructions for an easy, stress-free process
• 1 x 100g ball of Ashford DK Yarn (100% pure New Zealand wool) for the warp
• 1 x 60g ball of Mohair Looped Boucle (80% Mohair, 10% Wool, 10% Nylon binder) for the weft
• Finished scarf size: 22cm (8 11/16”) wide x 180cm (70 7/8”) long, excluding fringes
No additional equipment is needed, except a rigid heddle loom with a 7.5dpi reed, which is included with all Ashford rigid heddle looms. The weft is gently woven at 5 to 6 rows per inch, and can be completed in 1.5 to 3 hours, or more so if you wish to spend more time on this project.
