SHIMMERING SCARF FINISHED!

Image

Do you remember that beautiful shimmering warp I posted about last week?  Well, it just turned into an even more beautiful shimmering scarf !!  This is the finished scarf.

 I thought you might like to see some pictures of the scarf being woven so here are a few.

Image

After I added the warp to the loom then the weaving process began….

…and the twill pattern began to show through the woven threads.

This picture shows the texture of the twill weaving.

I love how this zig zagging textured twill pattern looks intermixed with the bands of plain weave.Image

Time to cut the woven scarf off the loom and start the finishing process.

Image

I wove the scarf about 98 inches long but as expected it did shrink a little in the finishing wash.  But before I washed it I tied the fringe at each end of the scarf.

Image

This is how the scarf looked after it was washed, air dried, then fluffed in the dryer.

It has a very fluid and silky drape.

I love how my shimmering scarf turned out!

Here is a sneak peek at my next project going on the loom.  I will be using these beautiful hand dyed skeins of rayon yarn to make another twill patterned scarf.

 I purchased this beautiful yarn on Etsy from the vendor  –  robinjedmundson.etsy.com

Shimmering Warp

Normally for me, winding a warp for a weaving project is at best,

mostly

yawn“ho-hummm”.

But today the room I was working in was flooded with sunshine,

a plus in itself considering this is the middle of February!

Winding the warp for this scarf has been pure JOY !!

As I turned the warping mill round and round

photo-5

the sun beams caught the metallic threads and seemed to

literally dance like little fairy dust across the warp.

I immediately pictured a little odd figure of a man, Rumplestiltskin,

spinning–spinning–spinning

all night long to make the gleaming golden threads.

The warp is now being added to the loom and I can’t wait to see the finished scarf filled with

Magic Fairy Dust !!
