Chenille Scarves

I just finished five scarves. I wove them on a four-harness floor loom intended for much wider fabric production. I called it my first date. The loom was built by a master loom maker Shaker named Henry DeWitt. I didn't want to "go all the way" across the full measure of the harnesses. This was a "get acquainted" project. I only used two harnesses, did a tabby weave, and brought in visual dazzle by using the technique much liked by the Shakers of weaving the warp and woof in contrasting colors.
