Twisp of Fate

As promised, here are pictures of the latest plaited twill scarves in the warp colorway “Sea Scallop”.  For those of you who are not weavers, the warp is seen as the threads that run lengthwise through the scarf, and which you see in the twisted fringes at each end.  The weft is the thread or yarn that is woven back and forth across the width of the scarf, forming the pattern.  All of these were woven using the same tie-up (how the treadles are attached to the harnesses on the loom) but I used two different treadling patterns (the order in which the harnesses are lifted for each shot or pass of the weft) so that’s why you see two different patterns.

I’m taking two of these to each gallery tomorrow (see sidebar) and setting one aside for the holiday sales.  Which one do you think I will set aside?  I haven’t actually decided yet!
