I have a confession to make, I love making scarves.  I really love to make scarves.  Seriously.  There are many, many posts here bemoaning the fact that I have to make a thousand scarves every year for Christmas and griping about how much I hate them, but I’ve realized something.  I just hate to knit scarves.  I love to weave them.  I can warp my loom and weave an entire scarf in less than a day.  I could crank these things out like crazy if I had more yarn (don’t remind me that I actually have an entire room of yarn or fiber waiting to be yarn, I always need more).

So, first up here is this blue scarf.  It’s three or four kinds of leftover sock yarns in shades of blue, black, gray, purple and white and the weft yarn (the yarn that goes side to side) is black lace weight wool.  It’s about six feet long, excluding fringe, and around five or six inches wide.  I just knotted the fringe and kept it nice and long.

This scarf is a mix of about five or six different black yarns with some gray DK weight superwash wool and a few strands of metallic silver eyelash.  The weft on this is some black rayon chenille.  This scarf is really long, I didn’t measure my warp, I just made it really long and figured it would be okay, and it’s probably around eight feet long with the fringe and six or seven inches wide.  The yarns are wool and wool blends (either with acrylic or nylon or mohair, there’s some Lamb’s Pride Bulky in there some where).  I love all the texture on this one, especially where the yarns change from a bulky to a thinner yarn.  I just hem stitched the ends and cut the fringe to about six inches.

Here’s a close up of the texture.  That metallic yarn is so hard to photograph.

My coat is finally dry.  I need to get some buttons and it needs steamed or pressed or something, there’s so bits where the felting is uneven so the fabric is bumpy but I can fix it.  I’ll probably wait until next week to take pictures of it.
