I also wanted to make them be handwoven lace, because that would help with softness and drape.  Lace weaves need to be sett and beat loosely, so I took a gulp and set the neutral 5\/2 pearl cotton at 12 ends per inch.  I threaded the loom for an all over huck, and sat down to weave.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/eggshell-huck.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/eggshell-huck.jpg\" alt=\"handwoven lace scarf, eggshell\" title=\"handwoven-lace-scarf-eggshell\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/eggshell-huck.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/eggshell-huck-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/eggshell-huck-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/eggshell-huck-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I LOVE THESE SCARVES!<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re soft drape really well for cotton.  The color and lace provide a very classic look; the cotton ensures great versatility.  I&#8217;ll be amazed if they don&#8217;t sell at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ralaweb.com\" target=\"_blank\">Roycroft summer show<\/a> this weekend.  I&#8217;m <em>sure<\/em> I&#8217;ll be making more of these.  (Hope I don&#8217;t end up eating those words.)<\/p>\n<p>Like with most of my handwoven lace, I made these scarves on my delightful little counterbalance loom.  It is totally possible to weave with 3 shafts against 1 on a counterbalance.  It just takes a bit more care, since the shed (the opening where you pass the shuttle through) isn&#8217;t as large.<\/p>\n<p>No, once again I didn&#8217;t sample these scarves.  I am much more confident when I&#8217;m working on my  little loom.  We operate on the same mental plane, and I just knew this one would work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My eggshell cashmere silk scarves were a failure, at least as far as being saleable.
