Euroflax linen and silk scarf

Several months ago, my friend Lori Lawson, owner of Capistrano Fiber Arts, decided to liquidate her remaining cones of Louet Euroflax linen.  I promptly purchased five cones, black, gray, mustard, plum and rust, thinking that I could make a lovely woven project from those five colors.  It took me months to come up with a draft and the color sequence, but I finished my scarf yesterday.  I used a 20/2 Valley Fibers black silk for the weft and the linen for the warp, sett at 20 epi and approximately 30 ppi.  It ended up, after wet finishing, to be about 60 inches in length and 9.5 inches in width.

I worked out the pattern in Fiberworks software.  It's a rather simple 8-shaft point twill.  The only tricky part was working out the color sequence with the threading, to get the breaks to show up where I wanted them to be.
