Twisted Fibers

I wove up the rest of the yarn from “I Want Candy” into a longer, thicker, and all together better scarf. It is much more even, and about 5.5 feet, so long enough.

“Candyland”

“Jellybean” Woven from a colorway of the same name of Lion Brand Magic Stripes

This scarf is almost 9 feet long.  When I warped it, I just eyed it, so that is why it is so long.  While weaving, I was all “Why is this scarf taking so long?“  When I finally unwound it, I realized that it was insanely long.  Like almost Doctor Who length *geek reference*.

My next plan is to weave something for my wall, which is very boring (but purple!)

Knitting led to spinning and I realized it would soon lead to weaving. And it did! I just bought a 24″ Beka Rigid Heddle Loom that came in the mail Tuesday. After struggling with the vague instructions with weird/unintelligible illustrations, I finally figured it out. It would be much easier to have a person teach me, but my aunt (a weaver) lives two states away, so no go.
I’m just so excited! I have 100 yards in the same colorway that I’m planning to make another *longer* scarf with.
Anyway…

“I Want Candy” Scarf, made with yarn dyed by marion on Etsy and spun by me.
Rolled up:

The two ends. See how I got better by the end? (the left side was where I started):

A shot of the whole scarf. It is only 50″ long or so:
