I got serious about it and got it on the loom in 2019.    Out of the gate, I realized I was struggling to find a good match, weft-wise.  My original plan (a variegated yarn) looked absolutely awful (picture included below).    I played around with some alternates, and found an approach that sort of worked for me, and got to weaving.  I wound up doubling the weft to get a decent fabric, and then it made sense to do clasped weft.  I tried a bunch of different ways of moving the clasp as I went, and settled on doing &#8220;stepwise&#8221; progression, notionally around the twill diamonds in the pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then&#8230; the pandemic hit, and I was unable to get to that loom from November of 2019, until November of 2021.  The project sat, patiently, on the loom.  I, in the meantime, took a bunch of online classes and learned, among other things, how to do gradients properly (hint:  value gradients are always going to be hard) and why variegated yarns are often difficult to use in weaving (depends on the variegation, of course).  I also learned how to beat in my weft without excessive draw in, which evidently had been a problem before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2021, when I got back to the loom, I finished out the first scarf using the weft I&#8217;d  started with.  It&#8217;s quite clear where I picked up again &#8212; there&#8217;s a definite &#8220;notch&#8221; where the scarf widens out to a reasonable draw-in (instead of squishing the patterns on either selvedge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In July 2022, when I was back at the loom to weave scarf number two, I brought improved colour knowledge to the party, and picked out a (much) more successful weft colour.  I also pulled the edge threads out of heddles, and used them as floating selvedges.  There were some things I just couldn&#8217;t fix &#8212; the sett was probably pretty much wrong for that yarn (too loose); I wasn&#8217;t ready to re-thread and make a skinny scarf, though.  And, I ran out of the one skein of that weft yarn before I ran out of warp&#8230; in the end, the scarf (wet-finished) is 57 inches long, exclusive of fringe.  I&#8217;d rather have another foot of scarf, but by that point I was completely &#8220;done&#8221; with the project, and anything I might have added as a weft extension would have looked like I&#8217;d run out of yarn.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, instead, I wove a wee sample using some mohair yarn I&#8217;d tried as a weft.  It wasn&#8217;t the right weft for this project, but it has convinced me I do want to use it as a weft in <em>some<\/em> project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
