Yes, it’s yet another woven scarf. Truth be told, there’s not much else you can make out of a 14-inch loom, but if I always had yarn as beautiful as this I would never tire of it:
It’s lovely handspun and hand-dyed yarn, from Froux2zj on Knittyboard. I’m not sure what kind it is, although if I had to hazard a guess I’d say Corriedale. Froux2zj gave me three skeins, but I was so anxious to use it that I had it on the shuttle before I could take a photograph, so this is what’s left. With a little Cascade for the warp, it worked up beautifully into this candy pink scarf:
I know, I know, scarves are EXTREMELY low-hanging fruit. But I needed a break from knitting after my latest travails with The Very Contrary Argyle.

I love the scarf, the woven quality. I’ll pick that low-hung fruit anytime. PS - I’m STILL waiting for the EZ Bob bobbins for the vintage KAL. (fingers tapping on table, looking anxiously out window for mailman)

OMG! That’s so pretty! I’m glad it turned out well and you liked it! I’ve never seen my own handspun used for something other than what I’ve done myself, and it’s so cool to see it in action!
