In addition to the yarns listed above, I used some Bambu 16gg from Silk City. This is the single-strand version of Bambu 12. I had lavender and pink in this and I gradually shifted the colors from periwinkle to lavender to pink to salmon to pale orange. The colors reminded me of easter eggs! The threading was a point twill on 16 shafts. The treadling for the first scarf was a 44-thread networked twill that I advanced through 16 shafts, so that one repeat was 704 picks long! Thank goodness that the computer kept track for me! There was some furrowing with this scarf but I mostly pressed that out. I love the way the pattern gets wider and narrower, like a meandering path. For the second scarf I used a tieup similar to one I had used for a towel and it created these lovely little eggs - very appropriate! Both scarves are very drapey and comfortable to wear and both have been given away!
