sunset srtipe scarves – part 2
So after the last somewhat solid scarves with the very cool varigated yarn, I got an idea for a set of striped scarves using the same yarn. First I did a warp wrapping around a piece of foam core to help me decide on the colors.
Once I did that I wound on a 24 yard warp 9 inches wide in the reed. It looked very promising once it was all threaded and set up.
I decided to weave the first 5 scarves using the colors from the warp.
They even look cool all wound up on the cloth beam.
I have to take them off after 6 scarves otherwise my knees will hit the cloth beam as I weave. I use the 2 dowel technique to cut off and re-tie on as it is faster and produces less loom waste.
Here are the 1st five scarves off the loom before they are wet finished. You will have to wait to see scarf number 6 as I need to find a model for it. I will show it when it has been wet finished.
