This scarf, from the set I cut off a couple of days ago, has a very modest and conservative appearance at lifesize. The section I have scanned could have been woven on a point twill threadingon 20 shafts. The weft sequence repeats in 78 picks.
It gets exciting when magnified 25x. The warp is bamboo (Bambu12 @ 6300 yds/lb), and the weft is a fine silk bouclé of similar grist. The bamboo is so shiny that the highlights of the scan are burned out, but you can clearly see the structure of the yarn - it is two loosely twisted strands of 2-ply yarn. The texture of the natural silk tussah bouclé contrasts effectively with the warp, even though the tonal values are close. And note the extra-long weft floats at the turning points of the twill - these are practically invisible at lifesize, but are apparent at high magnification. But I must say–when I am wearing this scarf, I hope only very close friends get close enough to see the floats.
