Notes

Second scarf! yay

Used the 12 dent reed. Used some left over alpaca-silk, red merino, deep purple baby alpaca-silk lace and different handspun silk hankies lace yarns for the warp. Rose Petal handspun silk hankies lace yarn for the weft except for 3 rows of red merino at start and end.

I wanted a very airy and light (mostly) silk scarf in different reds and purples for mum. Very happy with the result! …even though the alpaca-silk got a bit loose after washing… Will try to tighten those threads up a bit. =)

Am not sure what to do with the fringe yet. I actually kind of like it being uneven. lol

It weighs 46 grams, and is 17 cm wide and ca. 188 cm long (not counting the fringe). =)
