Notes

Yarn is mill ends at about 1750 yyp plus some black silk that I used double

Sett is 18 epi, number of warp ends = 195
10.8 inches in reed, 9.5” after wet finishing

I made two cowls out of this, each about 35 inches long with an inch or two overlap. One is a mobius and I may switch the second one to the same configuration. I bound off one end with a silk bias strip and left fringe on the other. A hem would have been to thick and stiff as this fabric is heavy enough to begin with.

Colors in photos are a bit washed out.
