75 viewsThis entry is a hand-woven scarf designed by Nancy and Sheila of cotton and native milkweed fiber. The warp is commercial crochet cotton having a shiny surface that contrasts with the handspun texture of the milkweed/cotton weft. The milkweed was harvested along the Snake River in Idaho. The dried stalks were peeled, and the peelings were boiled in lye. The raw milkweed fiber was then carded with organic white and green cotton. A woven lace pattern was selected for the Milkweed Scarf.Jan 17, 2010
