I’m really happy with my last batch of 4 scarves. I tried some more color blending, and it worked perfectly. Four colors of tencel for the warp – royal purple, lavender, cornflower, & seafoam. Another four colors for weft, one per scarf. The draft was an extended Ms & Ws.<\/p>\n

First I used a navy blue weft with extended Ms & Ws treadling.

I liked the color blending, but wasn’t sure about that extended treadling pattern, so I modified it for the second scarf, which I wove with a red-purple weft.

I wasn’t crazy about the clear squareness of the treadling pattern, so decided I’d go with just a straight treadling for the next scarf, which I wove with a hunter weft.

I really<\/em> liked both the dark green weft and the simplicity of the treadling. So I stuck with the treadling for the 4th scarf and picked a brilliant blue for the weft.

Very bright, but still fetching, to my eye.<\/p>\n

Here are the four of them draped on the loom immediately after weaving and then folded, after wet finishing.

I’m very glad I made the warp long enough for four of these scarves and hope my future color blending works as well as this warp. I must say I am enjoying this color exploration and will continue to do it, which means I will probably have some attempts that are less lovely as I experiment with different colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
