Everything You Need to Weave a Classic Navy & Grey Tartan Scarf - Fully Assembled, Made in the UK
Learn to weave a classic navy and grey tartan scarf with this all-inclusive rigid heddle loom kit. British wool yarn, a fully assembled loom, and all accessories and instructions included - beginner-friendly, made in the UK.
The Navy & Grey Colourway
Navy and grey is one of the most versatile and understated tartan colourways - a cool, sophisticated combination that works with any wardrobe and any season. Unlike the warmer, bolder tartan combinations in the TabbyandTweed range (red/navy, green/mustard), this colourway has a muted, refined quality. The navy provides depth and structure; the grey softens and balances it. The finished tartan is timeless rather than bold.
This kit is also available in a houndstooth version using the same navy and grey yarn - see the TabbyandTweed navy and grey houndstooth kit if you prefer that pattern.

Also Available in Navy & Grey
TabbyandTweed also offers navy and grey in two other configurations:

- Cotton (wool-free): navy and grey in 100% cotton yarn for a lighter, smoother scarf without wool - see the navy and grey cotton scarf kit.
Made in the UK
The loom is designed and made by Gillian Siggers and Emma Baker in TabbyandTweed’s workshop in Salisbury, Wiltshire, using FSC and PEFC certified birch plywood.
FAQ's
What is the difference between the navy and grey tartan kit and the houndstooth kit?
Both use navy and grey British wool yarn on the same loom at the same price. The tartan kit produces a classic tartan check; the houndstooth kit produces a two-colour houndstooth pattern with V-shaped notched checks. The colourway is the same; the weave pattern differs.
Is there a wool-free navy and grey option?
Yes. The TabbyandTweed navy and grey cotton scarf kit uses 100% cotton yarn for a lighter, smoother scarf without wool content.
Is this kit suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. The loom arrives fully assembled and the instruction booklet guides you through warping and weaving step by step.
What size scarf does this kit make?
The kit creates a scarf which is approximately 23cm wide, 150cm long with an additional 13cm fringe at each end.
Can I use the loom for other projects afterwards?
Yes. Once the kit yarn is used, the loom works with any DK yarn. Additional 10epi and 6epi reeds are available separately.
