Twill Scarf
I finished my first handwoven piece, a semi-plaid scarf woven in a twill pattern. I'm not sure if it can really be considered plaid since there is no repeating pattern of the three colors. If you are unfamiliar with twill, it basically refers to the way the parts are woven together forming diagonal lines. I have learned only the tip of the iceberg so far - there is a lot you can explore with twill. It adds strength and stability to the fabric, and this is why all denim is woven on a twill.
