A Surprise Ending

That there is another "warp as weft" cowl/scarf is no big surprise,


I enjoy weaving them and they are a good use for little bits of this and that in the yarn stash.


But when I wound the warp for this cowl I intended to weave a hat from the same warp. That is not how this warp ended. Although this warp made a pretty cowl with a light, spring like look, it just didn't seem right for the intended hat. I also had more than enough for just a hat.



When I cut the remaining length into three pieces and sewed them side by side they made a piece exactly the right size and shape to become upholstery fabric for my loom bench.


I backed the handwoven fabric with heavy fusible interfacing and padded the seat with 1" foam layered with a little extra in the middle.



It makes a super comfy and very inviting place to weave.
