CROW FEATHERS

 

October theme at Red Sky Gallery is Crows and Ravens.
I decided to try a scarf for the theme.
I found a skein of "Silver Backed Broadbill"
from Syd's Threads that I had from way back
and was "saving for special".
Susan Harvey's "feathers" draft that I've done before fit the bill for this.
8/2 Tencel woven with black.

I also wove a cowl for double wrapping:
