This is the 5-section warp in 2-ply Shetland from Uppinghams. It has been space dyed with acid dyes. I used strong colours because the weft is a lightly dyed indigo merino which is pale blue.
The finished scarf - well not quite. It has not been washed yet but I need it for Saturday to talk about space dyeing warps and there is not enough time to wash, dry and press the scarf before then.
Two of the warp sections have been reversed end for end and inserted between the other three. You can see the gradual colour change over down the scarf and the sharp division across the scarf between adjacent sections of the warp.
This is a big improvement on the scarf using the same technique but from a warp tie dyed in indigo.
