* Merino* Mohair* Alpaca* Hand Dyed* Hand Woven* Hand spun and plying* 5.75 inches wide * 5 inch fringe on both ends * 67 inches long without the fringe * 77 inches overall length long including fringe (6ft 5in) The weft is 2 ply light fingering weight 100% merino that I hand dyed with an acid dye to be a Black Cherry. It did not come out the dark purple red of Black Cherry but instead came out a lovely Orangey Red that has gone most gloriously with the natural colors of the warp. In fact, when I saw the color that the dye turned out, I specially decided to make and use the yarn for the warp to complement it. The warp is a thick single ply of cream Mohair that I hand spun myself and was later plyed with 1x 2ply light fingering of alpaca mohair blend and a 1x 2 ply light fingering of merino mohair blend yarns. The alpaca used is a red or apricot color and the mohair was a faded red, these colors combined with the white merino gave it various shades of cream, taupe, fawn, and light brown. These colors went just awesome with the bold orange red of the hand dyed merino.This scarf has been sold.

Shockingly bright, this scarf is sure to help you stand out and brighten those grey winter days,

I washed the fabric and then ripped it into 1/2" wide strips.

This project is a variant of the "Fire and Brimstone" cocoon jacket pattern from the Flavian Geis article in Weaver's 32. I hand-dyed 20 skeins of yarn in colors fading from red to golden yellow, and warped up in stripes of color about 1/2" wide - the colors are so close you can't see the transitions!

Then I wove it using Flavian's draft, but changing colors in the weft as I went, from red to yellow and back again.
