The Iridescence of Paua 04 The Paua 04 colorway is an absolute showstopper for fiber artists who appreciate rich, enigmatic color depth. Inspired by the shifting colors of native New Zealand abalone shells, this kit masterfully blends deep marine teals, structural purples, and hidden coastal greens that morph beautifully as the warp and weft intersect. The kit splits its yarn supply between a main variegated core cone and a mathematically paired 24g accent yarn cake, giving you the perfect layout to establish clean border frames and striking structural stripes. Organic Volume Without the Weight If you have ever found standard cotton weaving yarns to feel a bit too heavy, stiff, or flat, Caterpillar Cotton will completely revolutionize your perspective. Ashford’s advanced spinning process plies a wavy, crimped texture directly into the cotton strand. As you weave, these unique crimps gently slide into place alongside one another, delivering twice the physical loft and fluff of a standard cotton yarn without any added bulk. This means you can execute a basic up-and-down plain weave while watching an intricate, three-dimensional texture effortlessly construct itself. A Project Free from “Yarn Anxiety” Few things stall a creative breakthrough faster than running out of yarn just inches away from completing your piece. Ashford eliminates the guesswork entirely by pre-measuring and weighing every single yard of yarn to guarantee it perfectly dresses your loom. Paired with a beautifully clear, step-by-step pictorial instruction booklet, the Paua kit delivers an entirely friction-free weaving experience that leaves you with a generous, luxury-length wrap finished with flowing decorative fringes.
