i love the idea of playing around with the variables of plying colors! and i love that you are preserving all those combinations in one finished piece! wonderful!

What a terrific idea!  I've seen the weavettes, but I haven't seen many projects done with them.  Are you using different sized weavette looms?  What is your technique for combining the pieces? Crochet?

I'm using a 4x4, 2x6 and 2x2 looms to create the modules.  I'm using a single crochet stitch to join the squares.  It gives a nice big ridge, and the squares look recessed.

Notes

This is what happens when you combine yarn samples from a Deb Menz Plying with Color workshop and Weavettes.  One day this will be a very colorful modular scarf.  The squares are woven, and now it is onto the joining.  Not my favorite part.  Believe it or not, all of the squares have a single that is shared.  It was from a multicolored painted roving, but believe me, half of the yarn of every square is shared with every other square.  The color variations come from simply plying that shared single with all kinds of wonderful other colors.  Sometimes it accentuated the common single, sometimes it overwhelmed it.  Each time was a great surprise though.  I really love how different each and every square looks.  Even the ones from the same yarn sample can look very different depending on where the roving color variations meshed.
