Woven Scarf

I have an 8 harness Schacht table loom like this one, only I don't have the stand.

The loom has good rubber pads on the feet, so it doesn't move when I'm working on it on a table.
It's a wonderfully versatile loom; the 8 harnesses allow an infinite number of patterns and variations.

Even in a simple twill using different colored warp threads and a sampler-type variation of waft colors, the weaver can accomplish so much.






























The neck scarf is mostly all wool with a smattering of loopy synthetic (white) yarn thrown in. It is about 6 feet long and toasty warm.

Normally, I don't like orange. But when it's limited and tempered with purple, blue, white, rose, pink and red, it becomes a whole other thing.
