One of the great things about custom weaving is that I get to experience all sorts of color combinations that I wouldn’t necessarily have chosen. I’ve learned a lot while weaving the baby wraps, and this rayon chenille scarf for KW had lots to show me, too.<\/p>\n

First, I had to use a warping paddle. This scarf had 4 colors in the warp – 3 reds and a gray. The only way I knew to measure the warp is with a warping paddle. But I don’t own one, so I made my own temporary paddle out of doubled card stock. Not beautiful, but effective.<\/p>\n

\"card<\/a><\/p>\n

I should say it seemed<\/em> effective. Since I’d never used a warping paddle before I’m not at all sure that I was holding it correctly, and I don’t think I did what I was supposed to at the cross. I measured out enough warp for two scarves, beamed & threaded it without too much trouble, and went to work weaving.<\/p>\n

\"KW's<\/a><\/p>\n

Honestly, I can’t imagine how anyone gets a decent picture of reds. I can’t begin to tell you how many shots of this scarf I took. On the loom I didn’t have many lighting options, but off the loom I tried all sorts of camera settings and all sorts of lighting options. Nothing could come close to looking like the scarf itself. The fact that the rayon chenille has lots of sheen, making light bounce like mad, didn’t help, but that clearly wasn’t the whole problem.<\/p>\n

\"KW's<\/a><\/p>\n

Like all rayon chenille, I just LOVE the way this scarf feels. And I find the 4 colors interesting. The 3 reds certainly provide much more depth of color than 1 alone would, and the gray adds a nice accent.<\/p>\n

Still waiting for some decisions from moms wanting wraps, so I’m going to weave the custom shawl next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
