Log cabin
I started this scarf as part of the Rigid heddlers WAL on Weavolution.
The first version of the scarf used a taupe yarn rather than the off-white wool in the final version. The taupe yarn was a 100% wool yarn that had a chain effect and was slightly heavier than the navy yarn. This imbalance coupled with a sett that was too large led me to rethink and redesign the project.
DONE! I love the way log cabin looks, but I found this very tedious and finished it before it was done. I usually make scarves at least 60" on the loom so it's at least 55" after finishing. I have done several different shadow weave projects on my Baby Wolf and really enjoyed them. This, for some reason, I did not enjoy. Halfway through I changed from doubling the dark pick between blocks to doubling the light pick. I tried to show the changes in my photos.
I found a few mistakes and I'm fairly certain it's because I had to rethread the loom 3 times and ended up with a threading where some of the warp threads were crossed behind the heddle. This caused some of the slot threads to be held down and when weaving I miseed these warp threads. If you look closely you can see them. I plan to fix these mistakes with thread and sew them into place using either navy or off-white.

The draft was provided by Su Butler because I was struggling to understand the color-and-weave effect formed when using a log cabin draft. This draft uses a one block, 7 thread pattern that repeats across the entire project.
Shepherdess Check
Based on the Shepherd Check found in Wedkenecht's Color-and-weave II
This is a 2/2 twill with a straight twill threading and a 6-pick point twill/herringbone twill (?) treadling.
