Taking time to measure

This is the next scarf on the variegated bamboo warp used in the previous blog. The look of the warp yarn is completely changed this time by using a burgundy 16\2 bamboo yarn for the tabby or tie-down yarn. I’m using a single color for the weft pattern yarn this time. It is a gold 8/2 Tencel yarn. The Tencel has a sheen that the bamboo yarn does not have. The last scarf my beat was not consistent, resulting in an obvious unevenness in the pattern in different places in the scarf. That’s what I get for not measuring the pattern repeats as I wove. This time I have measurements taken and will try not to let things around me affect the quality of my weaving.
