This scarf was woven from a warp which reflects a riot of color and texture. I went through my stash and there are few repeats in this warp. (For larger photos just click on photos below.)
Here’s a tip for cutting scarf fringe. (Note that the fringe had first been tied in overhand knots close to the weaving.) I use a cutting board and a rotary cutter. I’ve both cut fringe before the fabric was fulled and after. Probably better after fulled and dryed but as I say, I’ve done it both ways.

Beautiful!!! What is the weft?
Gail:
Thank you! The weft? It’s Lion Boucle an Acrylic (79%), Mohair (20%) and Nylon (1%) blend. I found it at Big Lots at a $1 per skein. I balled the yarn so I no longer have the color way info. I’ve also seen it at Michael’s.
