    This one is on the loom, which is a might wolf.

    the pattern is one I made up from just a few of the colors from the Arizona tartan which is what I got the loom to do.

    Cool! I like it, and it looks like it's long enough to make a really nice scarf.

    The scarf is 6'. When I warp it for the Arizona Tartan I will be doing a 7 yard for my son and a 9 yard for the husband and a 6' for the sashes for the girls. As I don't have a sectional beam on this loom, I need to brake it into smaller pieces. Will be a lot more yarn for the salvages but more manageable.
