Hankering for Yarn

Narrow scarf made on the Butterfly loom

For the longest time, I have been planning a scarf on the Butterfly Loom.  I have  handspun 2 shades of  yarn for the scarf .

I have been spool knitting variegated handspun for the edging, so I posted a tutorial about how to spool knit a sturdy cord on 2 pegs with thin yarn.  Tutorial

Here’s a pic of the 2 shades of yarn that I spun for it, as well as the Butterfly loom, a spool knitter, my Nostepinne, and a flower loom (I think I will add flowers soon….)

The instructions that come with the loom show how to stitch the layers of yarn together with a blunt craft needle. I use a different  technique to  interlock the layers of yarn:

I really like to use spool knitting for the edges of ButterflyLoom pieces.  This is how I attach the spool knitting to the fabric:

Make several rectangles on the Butterfly loom and join them, to create a very spiffy narrow scarf :
