Yarn & Thread Scarf on a Long Arm

I had been working to deadlines for ages and decided I needed to have some fun.

So ... I had looked at Yarn & Thread Scarves and decided they had to be pretty easy.

1. I pulled out several yarns and threads to get an interesting combination. 

2. I decided what width  and length I wanted and cut two pieces  of solvy, one heavy and one light.

3. I pinned the heavy solvy to the leaders.

4. I laid out threads until they filled the space.  I added a diagonal thread to give variation.

5. I laid the light solvy over the thread and pinned it in place.

6. I tried circular stitching ... not a good idea. I needed to overstitch with a diagonal grid.

7. Soak the solvy & thread in water. Wash with a mild soap. Rinse until the solvy is gone.

8. block the scarf by spreading out on a towel to dry.

9.Fluff in a dryer to soften ( if it is still stiff, repeat the washing process)

10. In step #2, I had left threads extending beyond the sewn area. I took these threads in  5-6 strands and tied them together to make the fringe.

So ... when you look at all those beautiful threads & yarns you have collected and wonder what to do with them ... make a scarf!
