This chenille scarf is so soft and cuddly. It has wonderful texture and the black makes the colors pop. I only wish I had enough warp length to make two scarves and not just the one. The left over warp I wove off to make one or 2 small purses, yet to be assembled.
This sewing kit I started in a HGA Convergence 2016 class “Books-Bags-Boxes and Beyond”, and finished at home. The rep fabric was woven by Lucienne Coifman. I added extra decorative stitching and beading for embellishment to personalize the kit.
I spent the past week at my sons home watching his dog while he has been on his honeymoon in Italy. I packed woven fabric and supplies to make purses, and bags for our guild sale in November. I cut out fabric and did partial assembly. Of course I did not bring along some key items needed for final assembly. So that will have to wait for my return home.
The scarf is gorgeous!

I love the scarf! I bought a bunch of chenille then started reading about how hard it is to weave well–and prevent worming. Now I’m totally intimidated to even try it . . .

Kerry, There are fewer problems with better quality chenille. It is also better if you don’t have a loose set. There are weavers that successfully use chenille all the time.

The scarf is indeed lovely! I have avoided using chenille as well. Is the weft chenille too? I am always impressed with weavers who use it for warp and weft…it seems like it would be very tricky…

Deb, the warp was 10/2 Tencel. I don’t use chenille in the warp anymore. I have not had luck with the fringe holding up.
