This is what I can remember....
I decided to work with the same format as my previous Theo Moorman scarf, but to make a few small tweaks. I changed the colour, the twill pattern edge and both the inlay fibre and how it was laid in.
I chose to weave the background cloth for this scarf using white 2/8 tencel. I kept the silver lurex as the tie down thread and changed the inlay yarn to Filatura Di Crossa Gioiello in a slate grey colour. This is a fine knitting yarn that is mohair, wool and a tiny silver sparkle bumps.
The warp was threaded with a simple broken twill pattern on the edges and 2/2 twill for the inlay portion. The goal was to have plenty of interest on the reverse side of the scarf. The sparkle panel down the centre and the broken twill edges should take care of that.
I laid in the Theo Moorman design as large blocks down the centre of the scarf and I think it’s a winner. I love the graphic look and because the inlay yarn is so fine and soft I’ve kept a beautiful drape.

Lovely scarf.
I am very unhappy with Windows 10 and I only lost bookmarks.......but then it's not my main computer, it's for travel......and I still have my weaving files on an old laptop (Vista) that's only used for the loom and embroidery machine. Windows 7 (still on my desktop) is great.....
Drink the kool aid - Apple is great and so user friendly for us creative types!
Your scarf is lovely as is the photography! Such creative ways to show off what can be a static rectangle. Looks so drapey. Thanks for sharing.
