Another Blend of Oddments

There are three leftovers in this scarf. Two are thick and very stretchy as they are actually knitted tubes, and the other is a thick, fluffy but non-stretchy yarn - all are wool to the best of my knowledge. I knew there was a possibility of "something" happening because of the difference in the yarns, and I expected some ruffles.

For a weft I used a fine black yarn which I believe is also wool but plied with gold lurex. It looks good but is inclined to be scratchy. I hoped it would be cushioned by the fat warp yarns. 

Certainly something did happen, but in the opposite direction to what I expected. The warps "collapsed" together to make a narrow pleated scarf, about half the width it had been in the reed.    When I got over my surprise I decided I like it and it has already been claimed by one of my daughters - yes on a sweltering 30 degree day!.

Enough scarves for now. I am going to hide in my corner and make some lace, and when I weave again I will be looking at wool (or linen . . or alpaca).

Seasons greetings and much creativity to one and all.
