Pooling Woven Scarf

Seeing as my friend Gladys is a pioneer of planned pooling projects, and Wollmeise kept sending me skeins of Grapes for Sheri in my grab bags, I simply had to make a Grapes for Sheri pooling scarf. It was so much fun to make, and it came out beautifully.

I warped the yarn to pool.

And I used MadelineTosh Merino Lace for weft in Duchess, a really dark, almost black purple.

The pooling came out beautifully.

Next time I may not choose to use such thin laceweight for the weft. It did create a warp-faced fabric, but it's so delicate that my scarf is already a bit damaged, from pretty gentle wear.
