I thought the fabric in this photo might be to heavy to Nuno Felt. But, the merino felted right through.
It's funny, when you are taking pictures of samples for some textile products, the people dealing with them get fussy if you are trying to do good photography work - they want to see some special effects of the fabric and the color and what you thing about the quality of the photography is nothing to bother them with ...
But in the end it was my setting and my pictures they liked most ;-)

Soil scientist Gerson Drescher shows how difficult it becomes to collect proper soil samples too soon after harvest or under dry conditions. Dry soil is difficult to puncture with a sampling probe and may make it difficult to collect samples from sufficient depth. (U of A System Division of Agriculture photo by Fred Miller)
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.
