Finally Pictures of the Scarves

I finally got some pictures of the scarves I wove from the warp painting demo warp.  Last month you saw pictures of the painted warp, dyed wefts and dye color samples on the pale yellow warp.  The scarves turned out great, the weft colors give each a little variation.

This shows the weft colors, first on the left the same as the pale yellow warp, then the pale mustard yellow I dyed, then the pale apricot, and finally the pale pink.  The weft is real subtle, but I like the slight change in each scarf. 

The pink scarf has more pink in the painting.

Finished Pale Pink Scarf

It has a slight pink tone to the solid areas and it picks up the pink in the painted stripes better.

I think the pale yellow weft is my favorite.  The color of the weft is such a pale yellow that you hardly have a color more that warm off-white, but I like it.

The pale yellow scarf has all four of the colors I painted in the warp; fuchsia  mustard yellow, apricot and avocado green.    All of the colors are washed out slightly by the weft, but I like the effect.

The mustard yellow weft gave the scarf a very warm glow.  This picture, unfortunately, makes it look even more orange.

The best thing about the scarves is the light feel and the light hand.  I wanted to make a summer scarf that would not be uncomfortable to wear.  These are just what I was aiming for, I really like the slub in the cotton/rayon yarn.  But now I want to try that yarn in a different sett, could it be a dense towel fabric?

One last look at the group of four scarves.
