Notes

Using a warp from Hilltop Cloud together with undied yarn in the same quality. Added more warp from the weft yarn to make the fabric wider.

The effect of the gradient dyed warp is really great.

Nevertheless I am not really happy with this project:
I did not manage to get the tension really even which leads to some floats due to non-perfect sheds. Additionally there are differences in the fabric between the the sections that are completely undyed and the ones that are mixed between dyed and non-dyed. So obviosly the dye has an effect on the yarn.
And lastly: during wet-finishing: there was dye bleeding of to other parts of the scarf which results into color stains. Luckily those do not look too bad, but fit rather will to the overall look of the scarf.
