Had tons and tons to do today and then jammed a dinner date with a friend from out of town into the middle of it, but managed to get everything I absolutely
had to do done, including today's scarfa!
This is Warp #7, which I wound last week but never got around to putting on the loom. Today, with Ron's help, it went on lickety-split - good thing, considerin'. The warp is 8/8 cotton again, in blue-ish pinks and burgundies and yellow oranges. It's interesting 'cause it's got both the analogous colour scheme thing going on (reds and oranges) but also some complimentary colour action (the blue tones of the reds and the oranges). My latest yarn order arrived today and I used some of the brand spankin' new stuff for weft. I wove today's scarf... huh. I didn't actually measure it, come to think of it. A bit more than 70", I do believe.
Edit: I went back and measured this scarf later, and it was 69" under tension. Incidentally, I also tried beating this one lighter than I have been: about 8 PPI rather than 9.And here it is, Scarfa #22:

All done! Shown with spool of yarn used for weft
I never get tired of these shots that show three layers on the loom.
