Hey Claudia, Sorry I did not get back to your original post in the WAL forum! I haven't looked to see if someonelse addressed your issue or not. Looking at these photos it looks like the diamond twill is there across most of the scarf, but in the middle you don't have a full diamond in the thin purple stripes and in other places it looks like your diamond is much larger than on the edges! I hope this makes sense! If it doesn't and you don't mind me downloading your images, I can outline what I''m talking about in Photoshop and send that to you! I hope you enjoyed this project and your future projects! Cheers, Erica

Notes

This was my first real attempt to make a diamond twill scarf using the draft from the WAL in the rigid heddlers group.  The only place the diamond twill is even visible is on the edge.  I believe I did something wrong in the threading of the 2 heddles.

The scarf is very soft but a little too drapey, not really sleazy but it has very little body to it.  I expected the cotton warp to support the rayon better.  The rayon is a beautiful yarn with lovely variegation and that can be seen clearly. 

All in all a nice scarf which will probably sell at the next fiber show we attend.  I definitely want to try again and get the threading correct for the diamond twill.  There are a few other projects that must come first.
