I used Socrates and Mini-Mochi in the warp. I'll put those in the yarn fields when I have a chance to.

This is an incredibly soft scarf, woven for my dad on the occasion of his 85th birthday,

Notes:

3 shaft twill woven on a rigid heddle loom. I used Ella-rae sock yarn in the warp and a grey alpaca for weft-- I decided to use the 3 shaft twill because I really wanted the warp to show be shown off, it's such a pretty yarn, and would have gotten lost in plain weave. As it turns out I'm now enamoured with 3 shaft twills, I love how the two sides are so different, and also that it's such an ancient weave structure. And it wasn't that hard to do with 2 heddles.
