The texture that you have created is lovely.  Would you be willing to share the draft?

 Beautiful scarf!  Is the stiffer tsumugi silk softening with use?  Does it continue to drape well as you wear it?

Thanks and yes the scarf is softening wonderfully, but is more like a cotton scarf then silk in how it drapes.

 Hi Suzy - thanks for the comment.  I just recently saw it because I didn't have account set to alert me.  I would be happy to share the draft.  I can email a wif to you or I can try my hand at posting - haven't tried that yet.  Let me know if you're still interested (a month later).

Notes

 This scarf is woven using two very different silks.  One is a spun silk, very smooth and light - the other a tsumugi silk which is rough and stiffer. I tied this warp onto the warp for the Polly scarf.  So it is the same threading with a slight treadling variation.  This scarf and all the deflected double weave scarves I have woven were inspired by the article in Handwoven (Jan/Feb 2007) by Madelyn van der Hooght on deflected double weave.
