While I was in Vancouver...
...I bought some interesting pleated silk fabric...
...that I was anxious to fashion into a scarf.
A single layer of variegated wool...
...in oranges, pinks and golds...
...is placed on the surface of the silk at each end.
For the middle third, a warm brown roving is used.
Circles, made from lengths of dyed tussah silk...
...are added to the wool side of the scarf as embellishments.
As I roll the wetted out project...
...wool fibers are starting to travel through the silk...
...and the scarf is beginning to shrink.
When the moment is right...
...fulling begins!
Next time: the finished scarf.

What lovely warm colours!
Rachel--Funnily enough, I prefer the plain brown wool behind the silk. I find that it shows up the pleats best.
