<\/a><\/p>\nTwo of the scarves have one selvedge with sienna and white stripes of various widths. I wasn’t at all sure of that brown, so for that last I pulled out all of the brown threads and moved the white closer to the fancy yarn. I think I like that one best.<\/p>\n
I think you can actually see the gold in the yarn in this close up of the finished fabric. <\/p>\n Then, after looking at them for literally years, I finally decided to weave a 4-color echo scarf. Not having done it before, I appropriately chose tencel as opposed to the silk I had initially intended. I used four colors of 8\/2 tencel – baby pink, bright blue, bright green, and red-violet. I chose to pick a threading and treadling from Robyn Spady’s May 2018 issue of Heddlecraft. She called it aurora borealis, which works for me. For the first scarf I used 20\/2 mercerized cotton in dark purple.<\/p>\n (Do you like the fact that Dolly came outside for today’s photo shoot?)<\/p>\n Although the recommendation is to use a dark weft in a size substantially smaller than the warp, I ignored both of those recommendations for the second scarf, using a smokey blue 8\/2 rayon. The breeze lifted the long end of the scarf here so you can see the design a bit better than when it was flat. Personally, I prefer the lighter color weft.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
