Ashford Caterpillar Cotton Scarf Weaving Kit | 10 Vivid Colourway

The Magic of the “Caterpillar” Crimp

In 2026, weavers are moving away from flat, industrial textures in favor of organic, highly tactile fabrics. Ashford’s Caterpillar Cotton is a marvel of spinning engineering—it features a wavy, variegated texture that mimics its namesake. When woven in a simple plain-weave structure, these structural crimps nests against one another, creating a scarf that is exceptionally soft, surprisingly lightweight, and full of natural elasticity. It catches the light beautifully and feels incredibly luxurious against the skin.

10 Curated Palettes for Every Mood

The true joy of this kit lies in the masterfully pre-sorted palettes. Splicing bold accent gradients against complementary base tones, the 10 unique colourways include:

• Inferno & Citrus: Warm, sun-drenched layers of fiery oranges, reds, and bright gold.

• Ocean & Paua: Deep, tranquil marine blues and iridescent, jewel-toned coastal teals.

• Berries & Purple Haze: Rich, romantic jewel tones, ranging from deep vineyard plums to soft lavenders.

• Cookies n’ Cream & Sandstone: Elegant, modern neutrals that offer understated, everyday sophistication.

• Monochrome (Black or White bases): Striking, architectural contrasts perfect for high-fashion statements.

A Smooth, Frustration-Free Project

Because the yarn is packaged as one full cone and a mathematically paired 24g accent cake, you never have to worry about running out of yarn mid-weft or messing up your warp layout. The included instructions guide you effortlessly through dressing your loom using the direct warping method. It’s a quick, highly rewarding project that yields a generous, full-length scarf complete with a gorgeous fringe finish.
