I just took a shawl off the loom so I am using the same threading for my next project. I tied on to the remaining warp and beamed the back beam. Since I was using bamboo on the last project I had a 10 dent reed on the loom. I decided to use Tencel this time so I needed to change the reed to a 12 dent and sett it at 24 EPI.
This warp I mixed 3 colors of greens, light yellow, and orange. I used a warping paddle for the greens and put an orange thread after every 15 greens.
I decided to use the undulated twill draft to highlight the warp colors. I did not want a fancy pattern; as I thought the colors of the warp should be dominant.
I started the first scarf using a medium green. I am very happy with the results.
The only thing I would do different next time is to space the orange warp thread to hit where the design changes direction.
Also on this project I started using an end feed shuttle. The selvedge is much better with this shuttle. I'll go into the difference at another time.
