We love Matita for its bright colors and gradual color change that runs the entire length of the skein. What better way to use it in a weaving project than to combine it with the aptly named Happy Cotton and natural perle cotton? These three yarns are striped in the warp and sett at 12 epi. Then you weave it with Queen Anne's Lace, a yarn that is just the natural color of cotton but has a fun texture that mixes spiral contruction with thick-and-thin sections. Together, they make a fun, summery wrap that you can throw around your shoulders on a cool evening or sit on for an improptu beach picnic! The kit makes a wrap measuring approximately 30" x 63" plus twisted fringe. It can be hand washed and dried flat.

You will need:

• 36" weaving width
• 2 harnesses
• 12 dent reed
• 432 heddles
• one 15" boat shuttle and bobbin
• temple for 36" weaving width (optional)

All kits come with 3/2 Perle Cotton in Natural and Queen Anne's Lace, but the Matita and Happy Cotton colors vary.  We wove our sample wrap in colorway Fiesta.  If you would like your kit to be in one of our color combinations, simply order the kit above using the pull-down menu to select the colorway. If you would like to choose your own colors, please see our Matita and Happy Cotton pages to see the colors available. Then order the kit here and tell us your color choices in the box above.
