Description

Discover the satisfying craft of arm knitting and create your own wonderfully chunky wool scarf without using traditional knitting needles.

This complete craft kit contains 500g of twisted British Romney topped fleece together with written instructions and beautifully illustrated images to guide you through the project.

Instead of knitting needles, the wool is looped and worked using your arms. The substantial wool top creates a bold, textured scarf and makes each stage of your work easy to see.

The instructions have been specially developed for Romney Marsh Wools by Rachel Murrell, making this an enjoyable introduction to a distinctive form of wool craft.

This kit makes a thoughtful gift for a creative friend or family member, or an enjoyable project to complete yourself during a quiet afternoon at home.

Please note that this listing is for a craft kit from which you make the scarf; it does not contain a ready-made scarf.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

The twisted wool top has not been spun into conventional yarn, so the finished scarf should be handled gently.

Hand wash only when necessary using cool water and a suitable wool detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting, wringing or agitating the scarf, as this may cause the wool fibres to felt.

Support the weight of the scarf when wet, gently press out excess water in a towel, reshape and dry flat away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry.
