I love producing rayon scarves. I like their drape and the fact that rayon is made from cellulose. So I went to my stash.<\/p>\n

I had some lovely handpainted rayon boucle from Tammy <\/a>in a colorway she calls Surreal. She’d done some custom dyeing for me, with a coordinating navy-black yarn. So I set the counterbalance loom up to do a point twill.

For the first scarf (on the right in the photo) I used that solid color yarn. Although usually a dark color yarn brings out the richness of its surroundings, in this case it made everything too dark. Especially for a summer scarf.<\/p>\n

So for the second one, I used a solid bright blue rayon (on the left in the photo). I liked it, but not enough to make the third one the same. I chose a light purple for the third and final scarf. I like that one, too. In reality, both the blue & purple scarves are still darker than I’d envisioned, darker than I wanted for summer weight scarves. <\/p>\n

The one made with all boucle is an interesting texture. It doesn’t have rayon’s typical smoothness and sheen, but is rather nubbly, as a boucle should be. The weft on the other two is a smooth rayon, so the overall scarf is much smoother. <\/p>\n

I’m happy with the quality of all three scarves, and with their light weight. I’m sure someone will like them, even if they don’t sell this summer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
