Notes

It looks nice now and I am not sure if I should wash it and throw it in the dryer…
The yarn has a tendency to curl while knitting with it so I would recommend to give every stitch a little tug before moving on to the next one.
For weaving in the end I used tweezers to pull out the little velvet hairs so you will end up with a thin thread which you can easily tie into a knot and then weave in. Otherwise you might end up with a bulky area.
Measurements before washing:

7”wide and 70” long.

I will wash it with the rest of my laundry (dark colors) on “warm”, I have a front loader.
******************************************

Experiment a full success!! Scarf looks stunning and beautiful!! I can’t believe how nice it turned out.
I washed it on “Warm” setting with my black shirts (no buttons!) and dried it on extra hot (again with all of my laundry which had some red fuzz on it) until it was almost dry.

Measurement now: 6”/76”
♥♥♥ I LOVE IT♥♥♥

Last picture shows the scarf before it was felted.
