Just for the heck of it, I spun some linen thread. On an uninformed whim I decided to weave it into the one of a kind scarf that I am weaving for myself. It has taken over a week to weave that little portion at my current energy and Sjogren’s flare up level. What was I thinking?
Well I started weaving the linen thread before the flare up started. Also it looks very nice. It is the portion between the blue and burnt orange. Yes, the very colorful section. However, you have to look at the sock yarn that is woven in on both sides. The sock yarn looks huge by comparison. Yes the sock yarn looks really big.
Did I mention that when weaving with thread that I had to be very careful. That there were a lot of short rows too. That meant that the up and down heddle frequently changed sides and that is really fun to keep track of too.
The good news is that I can see the end of the warp. I also swear that the next scarf will be woven on a 5 dent heddle. I really need a weaving project that will not take a few months for a scarf. Did I mention that it will use up some hand spun yarn too? This scarf does not have a lot of hand spun yarn. I am really looking forward to taking this off the loom.
