2011 scarves continued ...

fine wool (variegated) warp and pale green cotton chenille weft
spring shades (lavender/blue/green/yellow/grey)

The chenille scarf collection was a long time coming. I bought the warp yarn when we were in
China (2003-04) and it has stayed in my cupboard all that time waiting for the right project. The time finally came this fall. I warped the variegated wool (very fine) and used my stash of cotton chenille as the weft. The result? A velvet touch. Lovely drape. Light weight scarf. If only I had more of the China yarn, I'd make these again and again. Now I'm on the hunt for a similar quality wool to do this with in the future...the search continues.
