Notes: 

This was my first real attempt to make a diamond twill scarf using the draft from the WAL in the rigid heddlers group.  The only place the diamond twill is even visible is on the edge.  I believe I did something wrong in the threading of the 2 heddles.

The scarf is very soft but a little too drapey, not really sleazy but it has very little body to it.  I expected the cotton warp to support the rayon better.  The rayon is a beautiful yarn with lovely variegation and that can be seen clearly. 

All in all a nice scarf which will probably sell at the next fiber show we attend.  I definitely want to try again and get the threading correct for the diamond twill.  There are a few other projects that must come first.
