Handwoven Scarf Shawl Mulberry Silk & Tencel Hand Dyed

Handwoven Scarf.

This scarf drapes beautifully. I started creating this piece by hand dyeing Mulberry Silk yarn. This has then been used as the warp (see last image of the warp being put onto my loom). For the weft I chose a simple white Tencel yarn, finer than the warp to accent the colours and add lightness and cooling properties to the scarf.

I have woven multiple scarves from the same silk warp, using a variety of weft yarn and different drafts (patterns)

Woven on my Louet Delta 8 shaft floor loom
