Christmas Presents - Part 4

The last gift I wove was a scarf for my sister. The warp is Silk Thread from Blue Moon Fiber Arts, in the colorway Kavu Kavu. The weft is black jaggerspun merino. The contrast between the shimmery silk and the matte wool is really cool. The pictures don't do it justice. Once it was off the loom, the shimmer of the silk and the plaited twill design reminded me of fish scales. Anyway, the final product had a really nice hand. The silk warp and wool weft made an interesting combination of fibers, something I'll have to play with in the future.
