Merino wool scarf

The scarf warp in Shale Merino is on the loom.  It is an 8 shaft design using blocks of vertical/horizontal floats and plain weave.  As the wool is fulled the floats will bind a little and the pattern will become more secure.  Each block consists of 16 ends so the floats are quite long.

It is slow to weave as I have to beat very softly, the floats want to pack down and I need to use floating selvedges.  I plan to weave 80 inches - the finished, washed scarf will be approx 65 inches.
