Weaving - Anchors Away Scarf

 Woven with handspun 22 micron Merino, 
on an Ashford Knitter's Loom.
The Merino top was dyed by Jane at Moseley Park 
and the colour way is called Anchors.

The warp was spun as a lace weight.

 The flower was woven on a Hanna Ami Loom.

 I spun the weft as a thick thin yarn,
plied with a lace weight spun from the same merino top.

I used the 7.5 DPI reed on a 12" Knitter's Loom.
It is a simple plain weave.

The scarf is as soft as butter.
The plan is to use up some of my mounting handspun yarns.
I'd like to try and sell a few locally, maybe markets or at Wirrabarra.
May just be one of my "gonna" plans, they could all end up as presents.
