Once I got that silk from my last post threaded, weaving went smoothly. Although as I noted, it was 20\/2 silk, not the 30\/2 silk I’d planned on. So the sett was closer than I’d have made it; as a result, the motif was substantially elongated instead of square. I figured as long as I was consistent, it was fine.<\/p>\n

First up was a medium blue weft. It is my favorite of the three.<\/p>\n

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

I’d planned on 1 fringed scarf, 1 long cowl, and 1 short cowl. The long cowl was the next up, and I used a red-violet weft.<\/p>\n

\"red-violet<\/a><\/p>\n

For the short cowl I considered several weft options, finally settling on a burgundy weft. The warp color made the overall look much more brown than the burgundy on the cone, but I was okay with that. Because of the elongated design pattern and the fact that this cowl would be short, I changed the treadling. The only way I could show that pattern was with the cowl lying flat.<\/p>\n

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

I used this weaving draft, my modification of a draft from Handweaving.net, last summer, but apparently never posted either the draft or the finished scarves. So here’s the draft; if you have weaving software and would like a .wif file, let me know and I’ll happily email it to you.<\/p>\n

Next up – one of my recently painted warps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
