Chenille Scarf/Sample
I bought some 1750ypp chenille from WEBS as a millend, and I wanted to use it to weave the lining fabric for Lee's stole. In order to sample the sett, I wove this sample/scarf-for-my-niece. Warp was 2 yards and 3" wide (at 24epi); finished scarf is 44" long (plus fringe) and 2.5" wide.
24epi is a bit too tight a sett for a scarf in general, though this one is fine, but it will be the perfect weight fabric for the stole lining: supple but still with enough body to add some weight to the stole.
I have washed and dried this (soak in warm water and Eucalan, hang until just damp, dry on medium heat with a dryer sheet), but I need to re-do the fringe. I had tried to just twist and knot it, but that's not going to work -- must braid the fringe instead.
This will get dyed the next time I pull out the dyeing supplies.
