This handwoven scarf is made with a natural brown Navajo-Churro wool accented with a column of indigo-dyed Navajo-Churro. The weave structure is Huck Lace, which gives us a checkerboard of large-scale warp/weft interlacements alternating with our favorite structure, plain weave.

You might be wondering why an industrial weaving studio would release a collection of handwoven scarves (apart from the fact that there are some things you can do on a handloom that just don’t translate to the powerloom)… Well, you know how sometimes you are winding a 60” wide blanket warp on your 1919 Davis & Furber pin warper and you get a little overexcited and wind an extra section?

No? Just us? Hmm. Well, that did happen over here recently and instead of scrapping that extra section, we said hold the phone: this extra bundle of warp yarns would work quite well on a floor loom, it’s just the right number of ends for a scarf. Here at TWM, we delight in mussing up the boundaries between hand and industrial production. This collection of scarves is just the most recent iteration of that tendency.

On top of that, one thing about running an industrial weaving studio is that sometimes months can go by without actually sitting down at a floor loom and throwing the shuttle. And it’s good to remember why you got in the game in the first place.
