Notes

This yarn has been on my shelf for ages - mill ends from WEBS. I had been wanting to try the Pinwheel twill for a very long time. The two came together and as a result I have six nice scarves and more shelf space. The draft is from the book "A Weavers' Book of Eight Shaft Patterns" by Carol Strickler, drafts #59 and #61. Draft #59 was easier to weave but I like the texture of #61 even better. Draft #61 was harder to keep squared up.  These came out of the washer and dryer with a nice bumpy texture.

It was funny because once I started this project, I began to see the draft all over the place; in Handwoven Magazine, here on Weavolution (Sally O.), and in the work of my guild friends. I like the draft very much but it was slow to weave because of the two shuttles. On the bright side, I have a new Schact end feed shuttle and it worked wonderfully. I instantly decided that I will have to have another one of those for my next two color project. Another one at least . . .
