I successfully wove, fringed, and wet finished the three scarves on the ‘springtime’ warp. All 3 are commercially dyed 8\/2 tencel for both warp and weft.<\/p>\n

First up has a black weft with a straight treadling. Here’s the full scarf and a closeup so you can see both sides of the finished piece.<\/p>\n

Next I used a cranberry weft. Although I really liked it on the loom, I’m just okay with it finished…the change in treadling doesn’t really show well.<\/p>\n

Last I wove a short cowl with a red-violet weft. The way these colors play together make this is my favorite of the three.<\/p>\n

As planned, while I was waiting for the hand painted warps to dry, I planned, measured, and beamed a warp for the loom. This time it’s 30\/2 silk in a pale greenish-bluish-grayish color. I chose a weave pattern that’s complex both to thread and to treadle. 304 ends. <\/p>\n

I carefully threaded more than 250 ends when I realized something was wrong. I had too many threads left. I looked at the threading guide I printed out and was working from. <\/p>\n

AAAARRRRGGGGG!!!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

I had inadvertently started that printing 11 ends from the beginning edge, and started the threading where the printout told me to. I sat for a few minutes and thought. If I wanted the design to be symmetrical, and I did, I had 2 choices: eliminate the last 11 ends or go back to the beginning and start threading again. I didn’t want to waste 22 ends of silk and make the scarf 3\/4″ narrower to boot, so I went back to the beginning.<\/p>\n

I did make my life a little easier for the second threading…as I unthreaded, I tied my heddles in threading ‘bundles’ so I didn’t have to carefully count out all the heddles the second time around. But still, it took a lot of time to thread again.<\/p>\n

\"304<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally threaded. Hope there aren’t any threading errors!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: No threading errors, but after weaving the first scarf I realize I am working with 20\/2 silk, not 30\/2. Should be sett farther. Not gonna do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
