I couldn't help but wonder if perhaps a darker color to contrast with the loopy rayon would look better.
I found some black 2000 ypp acyrlic chenille (which I'm not very fond of, but hey, it only cost a buck) in my stash and decided to give it a try.
I re-threaded the heddles for a different shadow weave pattern, this time using Powell's profile number 4-2-1 on page 67 of 1000+ Patterns. I used the same sett of 16 ends per inch. Close up it looks like this:
And when you step back:
So I'm pleased. I think this fabric would make a nice stole or scarf, or even vest fronts. Perhaps if I ever buy some black rayon chenille I'll give it a try.© 2006 Leigh's Fiber Journal

that is beautiful!!
That's such a great effect! Good on ya for doing some more experimenting!
oooh I like! Definitely a black rayon or chenille would be fab, I agree.
The dispersed color and the added texture just really update the look of the shadow weave. Very cool!
Wonderful :-)
A+ for determination.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!
The fabric will look nice what ever you do with it.
Nice! I agree, this result is much more pleasing to the eye than the previous ones. I think it would make a beautiful stole or scarf.
