The hardest thing to do for me, at times, is to consider the price of silk. It is so very expensive!!! I usually can't wrap my mind around purchasing it. There are several sources out there that offer silk and about a year ago I purchased around 2 lbs of natural silk to dye. A brave move for me considering the price! Eeek! I knew I had a pattern and I knew what colors I wanted......now to make the next step and get the project started! I selected four hanks to be dyed and Chris and I got busy dying them in a variegated blue and a variegated green keeping them monochromatic since I was going to be using an echo weave pattern. Once the ends were counted out, the loom was dressed and I was happily weaving. I wove two with a solid black weft......the weft was not dyed here in the studio, it was commercially dyed. The best part about this project was that I had finished twisting fringe on the scarf with a black solid weft in diamonds, pictured below, at
