Silk Scarf

I put the warp on the Cranbrook loom using a draft for the 8 harnesses in February.  Since I usually put on a warp for more than one item, this warp was long enough for two scarfs.  I finally finished the first scarf the end of April/early May, and then got busy and finished the second one a few weeks later.  The draft is complex -- 94 picks (going one direction with the weft) to complete one pattern. If you look closely, you can see that there are many repeated patterns.  I finally got it down so that I was weaving about 7 inches an hour, but I could only keep that intense concentration for a little over an hour at a time before needing a break!  But it is beautiful!  I sold the first one and kept the second one for myself.
