What do you do when a friend gives you a bag containing bundles of yarns? Bits and pieces of 13 different fibres? Well, you sort them into colours that blend together and sufficient quantity for a 2.7m warp. Then arrange the colours, and width and frequency of stripes, for the warp so as to use up all the available yarns. Finally choose an appropriate coloured thin fibre to use as the weft. And away you go, in this case in plain, or tabby, weave.
The result is five interesting funky scarves! Actually not bad for a lot of left over yarns. And now my friend has five colourful scarves instead of a bag of forgotten yarns.
