Sunset stripe scarves – part 1
It all started with a cone of yarn.
I was really inspired by this yarn that I found, but it was a little on the thin side (finer than my usual 20/2 that my mother calls sewing thread, not yarn). So I decided to do a test warp and wound it doubled with a solid rayon and set it at 24 ends to the inch. I wound enough for 3 scarves and wove them up to get a feel for the yarn, check the sett, and test how it interacted with different colors. I really like the finished scarves. I used a light gold, red, and purple for the weft.
