Like thousands of others, I signed up for Tien and Janet’s Stash Busting Scarf Weave A Long online workshop.

Obsessed over yarns in my stash. Did buy one cone of pale lilac acrylic boucle, for texture.

Weft yarns were two 8/2 Brassard cottons, a mystery varegiated (blue/green/gold/purple/brown) textured “something”. Might be silk. And the aforementioned Brassard acrylic boucle.

Warp is 8/2 Tencel, two colors held double.

Arranged colors.

First time success: winding 4 warp yarns at a time. I’d tried it before, but this was my first unqualified success. Used a warping board; next time I’ll try it on my mill.

Dyed tencel one color for the weft. Wasn’t sure I liked it; dyed another color. Eventually decided to use the two colors held double.

Second success: learned how to hemstitch. The pictures never did do it, but found a video, which worked. Of course, being a lefty, I had to turn it around in my head, first.

Third success: first fringe twist ever.

After washing, it softened up some. Maybe next time I’d sett less tightly, but it is still quite acceptable.

One of the fibers seemed to shrink a bit more, making an intriguing very slight ribbing texture to the finished fabric. I like it.
