The fiber is a Romney &#8211; mohair blend that I got years ago at the MSWF from the Barefoot Spinner. I spun the fiber into a two-ply sport\/worsted weight yarn a few years ago. It has been sitting around on a shelf, after the move here, waiting for this moment: its chance to shine.<\/p>\n<p>I used the thinner of the two yarns as the warp yarn, sett at 8 ends per inch (EPI.) The thicker yarn was used as weft, woven in at 8 picks per inch (PPI.) The weave structure is a dornick twill (what none weavers will think of as a herringbone.) The weave structure doesn&#8217;t really stand out in this because of the weft and the warp being the same yarn, but there is some evidence that it is there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/super-scarf-close-up.jpg\" title=\"Super scarf close up\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/super-scarf-close-up.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Super scarf close up\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am pretty happy with the outcome.
