Linda Knowles from Vancouver took a pattern from a scarf woven by Kate McKibbon (that was on display in the studio).  She changed the block pattern just a smidge and interpreted it with 2 different yarns.  This scarf is woven with a 12 gauge Bambu warp and a Zephyr weft.  So beautifully done!  It has a lovely hand and drape.

When you have a beautiful block profile you can interpret it in many different yarns to achieve completely different fabrics.  Linda then took this profile and  wove it in 2/8 cotton and cotton boucle to create beautifully absorbent kitchen towels.  Also check out Linda’s Tea Towel kit.
