But there’s a hitch with each of them. Firstly, I really like and want to keep this one:

This was woven out of the aarlan alpaca silk that gave me so much grief. I wove a plain scarf as I figured there was less room for it to play up on me. But somehow I managed to skip a few ends, right in the middle. I can a) ignore the flaw, b) try overstitching, c) try felting.

And this one was woven from three small balls of undyed handspun. Not sure what sort of fibre they were spun from, but they were much softer than wool. I wove in stripes to mix up the shades:

But I’m not real keen on the result. I’m thinking of dyeing it. Perhaps even trying a shibori effect.

I’ve also woven another scarf out of the Vintage Hues, and I suspect I’ll want to keep that one, too. But I find that I can fall out of love with a scarf once it’s off the loom. Sometimes straight away, and sometimes after some time. A good clue that it’s not a scarf for me is if I never actually wear it. In that case it’s better if I give it away. After all, I have waaaay too many scarves already.

So there are a couple of scarves I wove before I started the charity thing that I haven’t used and I’m going to include in the next batch: the Faux Noro Stripe Scarf, the Medallions Scarf and the Wavy Scarf.

This is bringing me pretty close to finishing another batch. Once I have, I’m going to take a break. There are some weaving methods I want to try. Mind you, they may result in more scarves for charity. But I’ll be learning something in the process, so that’s good all around.
