Handwoven Loom Theory: 8-Shaft Scarf Collection is not just a celebration of weaving and complex designs, but also of fine yarns—silk, wool, lyocell, and linen—from well-loved yarn companies. For this lookbook, I asked 5 designers to design 2 scarves: an 8-shaft version and a 9- to 16-shaft version using the same high-end luxury yarns in both scarves. Now, each pattern is available individually as well as in the complete set.
