When I wound that purple to gold rayon warp<\/a> I had a vision in my mind of what it would look like woven. I was going to thread a straight twill and zip through it. Then baby wraps intervened, and by the time I could get back to the rayon I decided to modify the threading slightly. <\/p>\n

I used the darkest purple rayon for weft for the first scarf, treadling a straight 1-2-3-4. It was okay, but didn’t give me what I had in mind. The dark purple made the whole scarf darker than I wanted. So I tried out a bunch of different colors: navy, dark red, white, peacock, pink. <\/p>\n

I liked the red the best, and used a treadling that I didn’t really like doing: 1-2-3-4-1-5-3-6. Sort of a pain for my feet but I liked the weaving pattern. I also liked the red, but it really changed the look, and it, too, was not what I had in my mind’s eye.<\/p>\n

I didn’t like any of the light colors, so went with a navy bamboo for the third with a different tie up. My least favorite, for sure. I sewed a flat fell seam and made it into an infinity.<\/p>\n

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

These colors are reasonably accurate. My new camera does a much better job without natural light than the old one did – quite a benefit.<\/p>\n

The correct size yarn for EL’s wrap arrived in today’s mail. But I didn’t get it till after dinner, and since I have to get up early tomorrow morning I knew it would be a bad idea to start weaving at 7:30PM. So I pressed those rayon scarves and wound a bunch of bobbins. I’m spending all day tomorrow with my family, but come Monday morning I’ll be ready to sit down & weave!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
