Notes: 

This scarf had only 240 yards of weft and it wasn't nearly enough to make the scarf the length I intended (72"). This scarf also ended up as plainweave because the herringbone twill I originally intended was getting lost and the finished weaving was turning into a weft-faced design.

Notes for next time:

1. Double the weft.

2. Use a wider sett and allow for more "shrinkage" (this is sock yarn--about 25% nylon) and doesn't shrink, but does puff back up to its unblocked state when wet-finished).

I love using sock yarn as a weft and have done a few projects with it.  Is that rayon slub for the warp?
