The top scarf is what happens when I run out of the right color of weft yarn to finish the first scarf and decide to try a totally different effect to create a small second scarf. This is all made from handspun yarn, which is why I am a little worried that the stripe of green will full in a different way than the rest of the scarf. If there is more twist or less give to that section it will pucker everything around it, in which case it is a ruffle scarf and I meant to do that, LOL.

The effect is much more dramatic and I am excited to see what it looks like washed as well. I finished the ends off slightly differently to see if the methods I was taught would work to keep the ends from fraying, if not I will hem the edges. I tried, and succeeded, to put a slit into the fabric that was woven intentionally. The effect is neat, but I do need to plan a bit better since the slit is no where near either end but instead somewhere in the middle, lol.
Okay so the bottom image is the scarf that I intended to weave, pre washing. It is neat, though I believe next time I will leave more room for fringe, and I like how the leno turned out. The little holes are supposed to be there, if you have seen my last post about the scarf you can see what they looked like while I was weaving them, and I cannot wait to see how they will turn out when I am done.
My selvedges need a lot of work, I know this so this is something I can work on in the future. I am very pleased with how everything turned out!
Happy Crafting!
I think your colors are lovely and I do love the Leno!
