Use the clasped-warp technique on your rigid-heddle loom to create a scarf that shifts between greens and blues. Add floral touches as you weave with supplementary warp and weft techniques, and inlay using rich, colorful hues of Tencel.

A vacation in the Valley of Flowers in the Himalayas tops Shilpa’s bucket list and was her inspiration for this brightly hued Tencel scarf. Shilpa used the clasped-warp technique to achieve the seamless transition of colors from blues to greens as seen in nature and supplementary warp/weft and inlay techniques to represent the flora in the valley. She named the scarf Prakruti, which means nature in Sanskrit.
