"Wayward Threads Silk Ribbon Scarf" by Lorri Scott.  Details:  $90.00 fee (includes most materials)

Lorri Scott Class at MHAM

Instructor:  Lorri Scott

Website:  www. Lasfibers.com

Class Title: “wayward threads” silk ribbon scarf

Description: Arashi Shibori (pronounced ah-rah’-she she-boar’-ee) loosely translated means “wind driven rain” or “storm sky”.  This technique involves wrapping the silk ribbon around a pole, binding with string, scrunching it together, and applying dye.  This is the technique we will use to dye silk ribbons and then construct them into a “wayward threads” scarf.  Ribbons will be laid out on a length of water soluble stabilizer and then a grid is sewn using a sewing machine.  The stabilizer gives us something to sew onto but then dissolves when washed after sewing leaving us with a wonderful open weave like scarf!

Supply List to Bring:

  • Rubber gloves
  • 2” diameter PVC pipe cut to 15 – 18” length  (Not ABS pipe)
  • Saran wrap
  • Crochet cotton size 8 or 10 or similar string
  • Masking tape (1/2” to 1”)
  • Paper towels
  • 2 –3 foam brushes
  • Sewing machine for straight stitch – please arrange to have a machine, ask to borrow or rent one from a local source if you can’t travel with one and come with some knowledge of how to thread and operate so we don’t take up valuable class time with that.
  • Scissors
  • Apron (I will have plastic disposables available)

Dyeing can be messy  so wear old clothes and shoes.

Lorri will provide the silk ribbon, yarns, threads, dye and dye equipment
