Colorful skeins of hand-dyed yarn that look so lovely can be difficult to weave with, but not for Gladys We. In this design, a bit of advanced planning yields a riotously beautiful scarf.
By planning ahead, you can pool the colors in your hand-dyed skein so that the colors stay together and have a greater impact. Also known as “faux ikat,” this technique relies on hand-painted skeins of yarn to create unique works of art.
The colorful yarn of the weft does all the work in making this piece a standout. Quick and easy to weave, this all-season scarf can be made in an afternoon from start to finish.

Plain natural-colored cotton on the loom, these towels reveal a hidden pattern when dyed. DyeLishus cotton accepts food-safe dyes, making this a perfect family project.

These scarves use the same yarns but switch them up, placing a self-striping yarn in the weft, above left, and the warp, above right. The result is a subtle horizontal color change in the first and a bold vertical stripe in the second.
Don’t let the heat deter you from summer weaving. Combine a fresh linen blend with silk/stainless steel yarn for a cool scarf.

The texture of this elegant scarf comes both from the varied weft yarns and the surface design techniques at the ends.

You never know how colors will look until you weave them, so plaid is a fun way to experiment with color. For this scarf, choose bright eye-catching hues that evoke summer.
