These two scarfs got washed in very hot soapy water and roughed up today. I moved them into the house to take better pictures. In the back you can see the really weird skein of yarn that was recently spun. Half of the skein turned out perfect, the other half turned out highly energized. My solution for this skein of yarn is a handwoven scarf. Highly energized yarn weirdly enough makes a wonderfully textured fabric.. You might notice that I have hangers hanging from the bottom of the skein. I do this in hopes that the skein will balance out while drying, this time I don’t think it worked.
Tomorrow the scarfs will get their final trims and touch up. They will then go into the bag for the children’s clothing bank. My handwoven scarfs are always held aside for the older kids for holiday gifts. I know I can’t make one for everyone who needs one, but I will make as many as I can without burning myself out
I really don’t know if I will finish the scarf that I warped last night finished tonight. I started it out with some sock weight yarn which is very thin. Most of my other scarfs have been woven with worsted or Aran weight yarn. I just love taking bits and pieces of yarn to make one of a kind scarfs, that don’t look scrappy.
