What to do for my next weaving project was solved for me. My son, Alan, called last night and asked "how long does it take you to weave a scarf?". Answer, on the ridid heddle loom it will take 1 day if I start early enough, why? A friend at work is retiring and he would really like to give her one of my hand woven scarfs. After playing 20 questions we settled on a drapey tonal green scarf. No bright colors, no intricut patterns just a nice simple scarf.
Do I have the yarns in my stash for this scarf? Of course not, so off I go to
Clinch River Yarn Co. To see Sandy and pick out the perfect yarn for this project. We came up with Berrocco, Folio 65% Superfine Alpaca and 35% Rayon for the warp (12epi dye lot #20) and Madelinetosh hand dyed yarns, Tosh Merino light 100% Superwash Merino Wool, colorway Jade, for the weft.

I think it is looking pretty good. I do hope it is what Alan is looking for.
