Cotton & cottolin warp, 22", 8-dent reed, twill, turns at center.
? weft -- still testing samples.
Ok, going with 3 white threads for weft, with shibori pattern every four passes.
getting started -- note shibori shots do not go all the way to the edge -- this will give me a dark border

Edge on. You can see the pattern better under the fold.
Off the loom, strings all pulled. Just out of the indigo pot -- note how everything first comes out green, then oxidizes to blue as it rests.
Shibori is in the middle -- it has turned dark blue -- a fresh indigo pot.
Sozzled in soapy water, then rinse water. Now it's handing up to dry on the line. In the 90+ degree heat it dried fast.
Ta-da! It worked better than I hoped. I got my brindle pattern.
Detail. Scarf hasn't been washed out to relax the pleats yet.

Beautiful results! Just love how you made so much out of what looked like a bundle of strings! -- Bjo
