Warped dresser scarf.

Early this afternoon, after we came back from our garden up the hill, I beamed the dresser scarf warp.   

This was beamed from short warp bundles, wound last week, before the new AVL Warping Wheel had arrived.  It wasn't ideal; the warp wasn't always properly tensioned, but it's a short warp and it's not tremendously slippery yarn as silk goes, just 30/2 spun silk.  The not-ideal stuff will disappear with the use of the Warping Wheel; that's why I got it.  :-)

I love the colors together.  Watermelon.  The red is that mysterious change-in-every-different-light-conditions dye, madder.  One second it looks like rust, the next like coral.  And it smells good.

The whole setup went very well, overall. It's important to get down a good process for mounting warp without the WWheel, also, because there is a non-sectional beam and there will be times when I want to wind the conventional beam with one yarn and another on the sectional.

 It'll be fun to use the Warping Wheel, though.  First warp for that one will probably be a sample warp, likely a fine organzine (for weaving satin).

I'd really like to better understand double weave and color blocks.  From there I'm envisioning tallitot woven in double weave, satin color blocks, point twills over part of a warp and not others, and a point twill woven double weave block arragement alternating in satin blocks.  I will have to think about the take-up differences in that case; I might have to offset the point twill blocks with say, lustrous broken twill blocks instead of the satin.
