Only in a soft handwoven scarf with gorgeous sheen &#038; drape.  I would have woven another one in these colors, but I didn&#8217;t have enough of the green yarn.<\/p>\n<p>For the second scarf, I used a lavender weft, just a bit lighter than the dark purple warp.  I modified the treadling slightly to make it quicker &#038; easier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/2-purples-rayon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/2-purples-rayon.jpg\" alt=\"handwoven rayon scarves, 2 purples\" title=\"handwoven-scarves-2-purples-rayon\" width=\"450\" height=\"343\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/2-purples-rayon.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/2-purples-rayon-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/2-purples-rayon-150x114.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/2-purples-rayon-400x304.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I like the subtlety of this.  The closeness of these two colors look almost like one color with depth, as opposed to two separate colors.<\/p>\n<p>For the third one, I used a variegated weft in red, pink, &#038; purple.  I used the same modified treadling as for the two purples.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/purple-berries.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/purple-berries.jpg\" alt=\"handwoven rayon scarf, purple &amp; berries\" title=\"handwoven-scarf-purple-&amp;-berries\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/purple-berries.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/purple-berries-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/purple-berries-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/purple-berries-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is my least favorite of the three.  The reds in the weft overpower the purple warp, and muddies the pattern so it&#8217;s difficult to appreciate it. Maybe it&#8217;ll appeal to a red hat lady.  It&#8217;s also the least successful photograph.  I often have difficulty photographing reds, and this wasn&#8217;t an exception. <\/p>\n<p>I got a few of the cones in my stash emptied.
