The first scarf is off the loom, blocked, fringe trimmed and ready to wear. I’m really very pleased with this one!
It has a lovely drape and is incredibly soft.
I love the way the 3-1 twill creates such distinctive sides:
Front and back, post blocking
Best compliment, from Son #4, “You could wear this and people would ask where you bought it.” High praise, indeed!
Details: on loom- 13 1/4″ x 73″, 9.8 PPI
Off loom- 13 3/4″ x 68″
Post blocking- 13″ x 65″, 12 PPI
So, on to the rest of the warp, choosing a different weft and perhaps a 2-2 twill this time?
And your son is right! Those colors will be wonderful on you.

Oh Lyn, this is beautiful. I can’t believe how difficult this must be. I’ve never made anything with my hands…well, mud pies don’t count…so I’m blown away by your creativity, tenacity, and your ability to make something so grand. Congrats!

Hello Lyn, Lovely scarf! I’m just back from Ireland and I can imagine it in one of the high-end hand-made centres that are over there.
Happy weaving.
