Lighthouse Faux Ikat Scarf Kit

Let’s weave a scarf that uses handpainted fingering weight yarn in a way that makes it look like a handpainted warp! Use two skeins of handpainted sock yarn and a floor loom, table loom, or rigid heddle loom for this project. The kit includes 2 skeins of Tough Love Sock and 1 skein of Lupine plus the 4-page PDF pattern. See the School of SweetGeorgia Handwoven Colour Episode 4 for more details on how to weave this scarf (School membership is not included in this kit).

Weft — SweetGeorgia Merino Silk Lace (765 yd / 700 m per 3.5 oz / 100g skein; 50% fine merino wool, 50% cultivated silk) in Lupine.
