After that I pulled out some nice rayon yarn that I had gotten. I put it on the small loom as warp thread. Honestly I had some doubts about it. But I carried on and started weaving. Monday night (which is when I am writing this) I actually finished weaving the scarf. I was surprised at how fast the weaving progressed with this yarn. Here are some pictures of the finished product draped over the loom.
This scarf has a lovely sheen that doesn't show up well in these pictures. The color is a lovely warm brown. It is slightly over 8 inches wide and 64 inches long not including the fringe. Because it is rayon it will not be particularly warm, but it will be a lovely decorative neck wrap.

Your block turned out great! I personally love paper piecing.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is amazing!!
I, too, enjoy paper-piecing, although I've not done it in awhile. The scarf is very nice...such a classic look to it with that yarn.
ReplyDeletePaper piecing can produce amazing results, but it's not my favorite either. Perhaps it just takes practice, but I have trouble thinking backwards.
ReplyDeleteThe rayon produced a lovely silky scarf. I'll try any kind of yarn as long as it doesn't stretch. I'm giving my new box loom a good try, results soon. One thing for sure, if speed was my goal, I'd have a heddle loom by now! LOL
You have already mastered the loom!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about paper piecing. It is too slow for me. But I sure do love the results.
ReplyDeleteThe rayon scarf is lovely, it does look very silky. Perfect for a 'dressy' event.
