Log cabin scarf

Details on how to "direct warp" for the Log Cabin weave are posted on my blog:

 I used small boat shuttles (Schacht) and attempted to keep the ribbon yarn flat and untwisted throughout the project from un-skeining the ribbon yarn, to winding shuttle bobbins, to the actual weaving.  This was semi-successful and often required hand-placing the weft picks to remove twist.  The struggle also lead to experiments and observations in the twist we introduce through various unwinding operations.  See my blog for details:
