What kind of brush do you use to the nap the scarf? Was thinking of a throw with fairly open weave and napping after. The mohair look, but not wool hair. I see one in "The Big Book of Weaving". :)

What a superb project.  Nice use of handspun and great mix of colors.  Love the soft brushed look.

Just a soft clothes brush, nothing special.

Notes

I sized the handspun singles with gelatin and with the exception of one weak area, had no problems with it.  The scarf shrunk quite a bit in length with fulling, very little in width with the alpaca silk weft.

I brushed the scarf for a nice soft nap.  I think that a 14 epi sett would  have worked better with the variation in the singles, but I do like the drape.
