found this in the proverbial bottom of the proverbial drawer. i had been weaving for quite some time, but was new to weaving cloth and wearables. this is one of my first scarves.
i used silk doupioni, can't call me timid, which was dyed with natural dyes. as i didn't keep notes i do not remember what i used, but given the color and the period i can guess on either logwood or cochineal. or a combination of the two.the doupioni was scoured until it became a soft, catchy floss with lots of shine.it is drapey and wears very well; looks smashing with black outfits.
the structure is a crepe from davison. my interest in crepes dates from way back then.
neki desu
oldies, but goodies. yep.
