Here We Go 20/2 Waves and Water

     Years ago I wove some bookmarks in 20/2 tencel and I remember being terrified at the thought of weaving with such fine threads.  Well, today I started weaving with those same fine threads, being 20/2 tencel, using one of my original patterns Waves and Water.  This changes the element of the fabric due not only to the finer threads but a much denser epi. And then through the reed. The tension set! Color selection of the first scarf :) Header woven in!  It's going to happen!!!! Ok...pattern emerging...      I'd have to say that I'm happy with the results thus far.  Since I have enough on the warp for 4 scarves, I might change colors a couple of times to see how it works out with the white background.  Comparing this to the same pattern in the past in 8/2 tencel, the 20/2 is about half the width and certainly more picks per inch. The fabric should have fabulous drape.  I guess I'll just have to see when I wet finish them.       In other news,
