People's scarf

Last weekend I had a stall at the Balingup Medieval Carnivale to sell my woven scarfs. My stall was called The Woven Warren.As part of my display I had a small table loom (RHS of photo) on which visitors to the Carnivale could "have a go". They choose a yarn from a selection and wove about 5cm each. In all, 23 visitors took part and at the end of the Carnivale a winner was drawn from the bundle of entry cards by the Queen (of the Medieval Carnivale).Congratulations to Rowan Seton, from Kojonup, on being the winner of the People's Scarf. It is 1340mm x 190mm and weighs 87g. I hope you enjoy wearing your unique colourful scarf Rowan.
