My friend B made a stop at Yarn Barn last summer and picked up some lovely dyed bamboo. The skeins were dyed in various, variegated colorways. I had asked B to get a blue/green, which she did, but she also picked up a red/orange skein. I decided to use the red/orange in a draft that has been sitting in the to-do pile for some time.
The draft is for a four shaft twill that creates a pattern that reminds me of little medallions. I love that it is only four shaft for ease of setup, yet the finished scarf looks much more complex. The scarf pictured was done with a black wool/silk weft. I did a second scarf with navy wool weft. I was very pleased with the result and think this pattern will become part of my regular rotation.
