Warp

Plain old houndstooth: 2x2.
46 copper, 44 white.
(Turns out it was 53 x 52. Oops!)
100” long.
(Turns out it was 80” long.)

10/10/23: wound on.

Weft:

Did a buttonhole weft saver. Easy-peasy.

Rummaging through my yarn to find scraps of darks.
I’ll also have to find one more Patons Classic Merino in Winter White.

Color order:

6 shots Heilo. Buttonhole stitch over 3.
5 double (+1) rows of Heilo Brown, 5 double rows of Winter White.
3 double rows of black, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows of Heilo Brown, 3 of Winter White.

‘ * ‘
3 double rows of Christmas Red, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows of Gold, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows of Teal over Plymouth Gray, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows of black, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows of Heilo Brown, 3 of Winter White.

3 double rows of Koolaid Orange over Jade, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows of Teal over Winter White, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows of Gold over Plymouth Gray, 3 of Winter White.
‘ * * ‘ ( ignore this the first time)
3 double rows Black, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows Heilo Brown, 3 of Winter White.

Repeat from ‘ * ‘ to ‘ * * ‘,
ending 3 double rows Heilo Brown, 3 of Winter White.
3 double rows Black, 3 of Winter White.
5 double rows Heilo Brown, 5 of Winter White.
Then 5 rows of brown. End with buttonhole stitch.

Because I ran out of some yarn, the actual weave was different from this. At the center of the scarf, I lengthened the brown and black stripes, then started with Orange Koolaid over Jade Green.

I also began the last 3 rows earlier. So the second half is not exactly like the first half.

10/13/23:

Finished and taken off the loom.

Need to cut and twist the fringes, then it goes for its spa treatment.

10/14/23:

Fringe cut at 6 1/2”. Twisted 25 times, then knotted and twisted back on itself.

Washed and soaking in rinse water overnight.

10/15/23:

Drained and Spun in the washer. Hanging to dry.

Ironed it and cut off the scraggly bits. There is one black end that was missed by one weft thread. I still need to fix this.

Cut the ends of the fringes down to 5” and calling it done.
