The Pioneer woven scarf was a secret project....because it's my father's birthday present. Happy Birthday Dad!
I finished this scarf a few weeks ago and really liked how it worked up.
Vital Statistics:
- Schachet Cricket Loom
- 8 Dent Reed
- 70 Ends
- 7.25” wide x 75” long (without fringe)
- 204 grams start - 32 grams remaining = 172 grams used
- Total yards: approx. 378 yards
It was my first experience using such a high silk content on the Cricket Loom. I used Lorna's Laces Pearl, which is a DK weight that is 51% silk and 49% bamboo. Towards the end, the yarn pilled a bit on the shuttle as I was weaving, but you can’t notice it on the finished product. The silk/bamboo content was a bit stiff, but just enough to produce perfect selvages and still drape and be warm to wear. I’ll probably be experimenting with this yarn on the loom again.
