The weft yarn is a blend of wool, mohair, nylon, and acrylic, and I found I hardly needed to beat it. It&#39;s very, very light and fluffy. I had a notion to make this a ruffle scarf by tugging a center warp thread and gathering the scarf in a little bit, but once I started, I didn&#39;t hold the opposite end and whoops! I pulled an entire thread out of the scarf. After scratching my head and laughing a little, I realized I kind of liked the look, so I pulled out two more warp threads <em>on purpose<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The slubby texture led to some bumpy selvedges, and I just didn\u2019t care. The one color change I messed up (you can see the color go from gray to white all of a sudden) didn\u2019t bother me. It was a scarf woven during a blizzard!
