Jackie showed our group a couple of chenille scarves she wove for a charitible auction. These are sett at 20 epi. Notice how she outlines the basketweave and twill with black lines giving the structures more emphasis. The top scarf was woven with an off white chenille weft and the bottom scarf was woven with black or charcoal chenille.
The draft used on both of these scarves is on our draft page at the bottom. This is a very versatile draft - you can use it as Jackie has done with outlines around the various structures, or use different colored stripes.
Jackie amazed all of us with the scarf on the right. She thinks that the structure is M's and W's. Click on this photo to bring up the original size so that you can see the detail. This is woven with ring spun rayon - black and off white and the drape is amazing. If you have Carol Strickler's A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns, this is pattern 328-4
