Orchid Blossom
Orchid Blossom
This scarf is a great weaving project where the yarn just shines. It’s simple enough for a beginner yet fun for more experienced weavers. The yarn practically does all the work. Pick two colors of Sesame, warp with one and weave with the other, and see the beautiful scarf emerge.
