I really loved the pattern I used on the Silk Waves Scarf, so I decided to weave it again.
This time I wanted to drive home the ocean aspect of the pattern so I decided to pull the warp using colours from dark to light and back to dark again.
These are the colours I chose Aquamarine, Greyed Teal, Mineral Green and Cactus, all in 2/8 tencel. I decided to make a two scarf warp because pulling and blending the diminishing colours takes quite a bit of time.
You can see the progression on the warping board. I pulled the warp in two sections ~ dark to light, then combined the big bouts on the loom.
I tied it on the loom allowing 10 inches for fringe. The scarves will woven to be 70 inches (+ or -).
I love this shot.....you can really see the waves in the pattern already.
ming blue, greyed teal, olive, ink blue and just to go out on a limb adobe.
For the first scarf which I will call ‘Salish Sea’ I chose to use the greyed teal as the weft.
I think it looks moody and cool just like the ocean looks today with our cold wind and rain.
I have been overwintering some Brugmansias in my ensuite and they have gone from this.....
To this in the past few days. Brugmansia have a heavenly fragrance that really dominates a room. They are evening/night scented with a strong rose/lily/baby powder scent.

This just lovely! Color blending sure adds the wow factor huh? I wove this last year and used 5 shades that made two waves across the scarf warp. Its a great draft!.
