Fulling the scarf...
...and squaring it up.
The stitched-in pleats remain quite visible...
...especially in the middle third of the scarf...
...where only brown wool was applied.
On the wool side...
...tussah silk circles provide color, texture...
...and a bit of shimmer.
The ends of the finished scarf...
...show muted gradations of color...
...from the variegated wool.
Because of the machine-pleating...
...the resulting texture is lovely...
...but it has a slightly 'crunchy' feel to it...
...(which I hope will soften with wear).
In future, I would restrict this pleated silk...
...to table runners or other non-wearables.

You may well find it will soften, but regardless, it looks lovely and I'm sure you will enoy wearing it!
Rachel- It's a gift (for a non blog reader!) so I think I'll suggest wearing it next to a coat, rather than skin, if it's an issue. :)
Looks lovely Heather.. as always you have a wonderful eye for colour and texture :)
