After I finished the elegant gray scarves ( I do like them, I used some nice textures, ribbons, soft kitten gray colors) I realized the rainy days needed more color. So I ordered dyes I'd been putting off and now it is time for color! The greens I'd been saving were there- it would take a few days to get the bright honeysuckle pink yarns dyed, so green slid into home. ha! I am so NOT the sports metaphor!
It is bright and it makes me want seaweed salad. so that will be the working name for these scarves! I'm weaving them with different combinations, 18 -24 ends per inch, depending on the yarn type, and the wefts are some soft spun silks, cottons that are soft and thin, a couple of slubs for extra texture and a polymide variegated yarn that lets reds, browns, yellows and greens drift in and out of the length.
So far they've been fun to weave.
The pinks are drying today and I'll have that on starting tomorrow!
