Additional Source Info:

I am just learning to enter WIFs with a software that I am unused to so bear with me for the file. The repeats for each section are in the article. I color coded and left blanks to make it easier to see the draft.

I see my first upload was upside down and now this has been fixed.

This is my favorite yarn for knitting and now I love weaving with it too! I have a spool of every color ^-^ I love the weight, feel, and wide variety of colors available. You will see many of my projects woven with this yarn.

Notes:

This is only my second time ever weaving, and my first time using more than one color or using a draft. I'm excited about it, and I hope I don't mess it up! I am using the Boundweave Snowflake 2 draft, but I have added a little bit to it to give it the look I want. I am weaving this as a very thin trim to sew onto a sarafan I am knitting for my porcelain ball-jointed doll, Kisa, to wear for Christmas.

11/23: Just finished it, and am quite happy with the results. I need to make another strip of it though, otherwise I won't have enought to finish the sarafan the way I want. So I will be starting that later today. I can't decide if I like the right side or the wrong side better, though, they are both pretty!

Notes:

I didn't include length because I made two scarfs and a finger towel which was about 196". I was extreamly pleased with this scarf. It turned out soft, silky and delicate. I am now doing one in blue and cream.
