Weaving Project - Scarf

I got my sampler done, so now it is time to do an actual weaving project. I have chosen to weave a scarf. I picked a hand dyed wool by a Nova Scotia artist, made of merino wool and kid mohair in yellow and pinks. The weft thread is a grey cotton. I am creating a extended vertical herringbone. 

I had to backtrack a few inches as I was weaving it too tightly. Now that it is woven looser you can really see the colours of the warp thread. 

I also learned to do a hemming stitch to create a tidy fringe. I think this project will turn out well.
