60/2 mercerized cotton
Original draft
2009
Experimentation with finer cloth lead me to this series. I intended to weave three scarves 96 EPI, but after sampling a few pieces, I noticed I had the wrong reed and was weaving at 160 EPI. But because I liked the hand of the samples, rather than resleying I created and modified different styles of drafts and continued to weave with the close sett.
After washed, the scarves in this series obtain a heavy, wet texture that is lovely and luxurious around the neck.
