This neck scarf, woven on my Ashford Rigid Heddle Knitter's Loom, measures 6-1/4" wide by 54" long. This silk/merino wool yarn is very nice to the touch and the scratch factor is minimal. I'm trying to remember where I picked up this yarn, but it's been such a while ago that I cannot remember. The weft (horizontal strands) pattern is divided as follows: 9 strands beat close together, followed by 4 strands equally spaced about 1/8" apart. Oh so simple, but a happy accomplishment for my beginner efforts. Once the loom was prepped, the weaving took two days of undedicated effort. In this picture, I am working on the fringe.
