Mobius Scarf

Sett:

Finished Length: 
50.00 in
Finished Width:

Notes: 

This was done as a mobius strip: I left a lot of unwoven warp (about 18 inches) before starting to weave the scarf. After weaving about 45 inches, I undid the warp from the front beam, carefully added tension without wrapping the scarf around the beam, added a twist to the fabric, then used the un-woven warp from the start of the scarf as the weft for the final inches of the scarf. The instructions I followed are here: https://plus.google.com/photos/103025470....

Width on Loom:

Notes: 

I have a ton of natural chenille on cones that I don’t quite know where they came from. I’m usually really good about keeping yarn records or knowing exactly where they come from because I take the label or information about the yarn and tape it on the inside of the cone. The warp for these scarves has no info! Which means that it came from a dyers pack most likely from Webs. Awesome! I don’t know if it’s cotton, rayon, or synthetic! Sooooooo I used other chenille that I’ve used in projects before for the weft! I should be binding them and dying tonight (fingers crossed). I’ll post pictures as soon as I have them!
