Fall Scarves

 Remember when I told you last spring I was warping my loom to make three scarves and I told you not to hold your breath to see results?  Well, here they are!  I made three, each one about 78" in length and 8" wide.  I made two in the burgundy/gold and one with the burgundy/red wine.  The yarn is Tencel - made from wood pulp, it has a lovely drape and the pattern style is Huck Lace. I had a number of learning experiences along the way...most frustrating were a few broken warp strings, but I figured out how to fix them (and prevent them) and moved right along! 
Here is one of the burgundy/gold.

And here is the burgundy/red wine.

It's been slow going with all three kids home for the summer.  I'm looking forward to fall to be able to put more time in on the loom.  I'm currently prepping it for another project...this time table runners!  I'm trying new types of yarn and new styles of weaving...trying to learn as much as I can. 
 I'm in love!
