Notes: 

I needed a quick project of at least two different warps to demonstrate warping and dressing a loom for a guild meeting. Shadow weave seemed the perfect structure. I experimented with a variety of weft colors to play against the purple and black warp, including choosing some other dark color to replace the back. The oddest combination I selected was the most successful! It was a variegated yarn from JOY in mauve, a dusty orange-gold, and soft green shade. It made this warp sparkle! In the final analysis, black was the best option for contrast. 

I am twisting the fringe now (using a technique new-to-me posted on Weavo last week) and will provide the finished dimensions once I have washed it. I plan to wash with clear dishwashing liquid in the machine, delicate setting, warm water. Toss in the dryer, monitor until it is nearly dry, but not bone dry, and then give it a steam press to bring out the sheen.

The draft was from the Strickler 8 shaft book.

I had just enough black tencel for the warp on this project.  The plan is to use various bright weft colors, the black will really make them pop!

This is run #2 of this series. This time I’m using brighter colors and a little bit of a heavier beat to test the hand in comparison to the first run. Pictures to come!

About 3/4 of the way through the third scarf my loom's electronic interface stopped working:(  Louet has been fabulous about fixing it so quickly and I should have it back Tuesday!
