Diamond Delight 8-Shaft Weaving Kit PRE-ORDER
This is a PRE-ORDER, which is handmade-to-order. Allow 3 weeks to ship. I only open the cart for pre-orders on the first week of the month. Please sign up to my newsletter to know when the kits are available.
These kits feature the Shiny Dime palette colors as a painted warp by Shiny Dime. The Diamond Delight design is by Deb Essen, designer/owner of dje handwovens.
This 8 shaft twill based design is quick to weave up and the treadling is super easy to remember. The painted warp is wound and ready to go on your loom. There’s enough yardage in the warp to weave two scarves, each about 65” long plus fringe!
The original kit features an exclusive SDF hand-painted warp and Amethyst weft. The warp color slowly shifts, and with the purple or black weft it creates a beautiful iridescent appearance. (The images can be viewed in full if you click on them.)
