Colours, colours and more colours handwoven

Colours, colours and  more colours.  The fun continues as I work through scraps of natural fibres left over from previous projects.  A collection of "reds", a collection of "blues" and then "everything goes".
In the first scarf I have 6 colours (reds, orange and grey) on a warp of four browns and three blacks, although the browns are all very similar in colour.  A warm wearing scarf at 1820mm x 190mm and weighing 123g.
The second scarf is my blue theme.  Seven different "blues and greys" on a blue and silver shining warp with small fluffy loops.  Very classy looking and is 1740mm x 210mm weighing only 96g.  Must be some cashmere amongst the colours!  The pattern is vaguely seen through the fluffy loops.
The third scarf has the left-overs from the left-overs.  Reds, blues and everything else left from the last two scarves on a warp of Corriedale brown yarn.  Interesting colour range and  scalloped edges due to different shrinkage rates of the mixtures of fibres.  And you get a full measure of 1830mm x 200mm with a weight of only 100g.
All three scarves will go to the homeless at the end of the month unless you buy for $50, or more, and I will donate the money to the homeless instead.
