After seeing my first attempt at weaving a scarf, my magnificent mother requested that I make her a woven scarf as well out of some luscious purply grey sock yarn and some of her magical handspun yarn.

I did the warp all in the sock yarn so that when it came to the weft, the beautiful variation and colour could be fully appreciated all on its own.

It was magnificent to work with the variation in this yarn- though I will warn any weaver that works with handspun yarn that single ply will in fact try to pull the sides in and make the project look rumpled and sad when first pulled off of the loom(even when it's such a beautiful colour).  

Do not accept defeat though, if you choose the path of single ply.  A little bit of water and acupuncture into a blocking board can save this rumpled, bumpled friend. 

Then you can simply sit back and appreciate the rich and vibrant colours you've put on display.

When this scarf was blocked and had dried, my mother was thrilled and quickly made it clear that it's hers forever.  After all the creations she made that I.... claimed...  I figured that was only fair.

Stay sweet, stay crafty, and stay tuned.
