And please post a finished photo, too! 

Where did you learn the technique? From a book, guildmate, or other source? It's fantastic to see this kind of weaving, as it seems under-represented in the mainstream weaving publications here in America. (Or maybe a lot of weavers just never try it?) It's certainly on my to-do list now!

So did you finish them? They look quite elegant, and more "interesting" than the leno, but nice to see something a llittle "different." Must admit that the turned twill scarves are the ones I like the best, -  such exquisite colours!!! ;-)

 Hi Sally - I learnt the technique at a workshop and also in Betty davenports book on rigid heddle weaving.

It is very easy to do and works up quickly !

I have enough for two on the loom so no finished pictures yet but I won't forget !

Beautiful!  Was this woven on a floor loom?  Love the lacy look.

Notes

 I prefer brooks Bouquet to leno.

On this scarf I did 5 rows of plain weave between the 'bouquets'

Makes a cheap summery scarf !
