Scarf is done

Had an issue come up while weaving,the right selvedge frayed a lot. Believe it was due to the weaving not being centered on the loom and the heddle was always being pulled downwards. You can see how abraded that strand was getting.


 


Ended up cutting that strand off,tying a new piece of black yarn in its place. Didn't want to use the same type of yarn,so used a strand of  Universal Uptown Worsted. It is supposed to be anti-pilling, so it seemed to hold up better for a selvedge. Just hung the yarn over the back beam and left it dangle with a weight tied on.  Used a washer with a paper clip and just tied a loop on the yarn to hang it from so it would have enough tension on it. 

 Here is the new one tied on. Later will go back and weave the ends in with a tapestry needle.

Here is the finished scarf, you really can't tell the selvedge has a different yarn added in.  Am planning on donating this one to the Calumet Hats for Hope Initiative.  A facebook group that donates hats to local people who need them.
