Midwinter Reds by Minick and Simpson for
2
Cut a 21/2" snip up from the short side of the fabric 1/8"
away from the selvage. This will leave you with a 21/2"
rat tail of selvage. Now you can unravel threads on
the short side up until the cut mark. You will have
21/2" of fringe on one short side. Use a pin to pull one
thread at a time.

Once you have your threads unraveled you can stay
stitch between the fabric and fringe or you can tie
square knots in the fringe every 10 or so threads.
Repeat for the other short end of the scarf.
Making a Scarf from Midwinter Reds Wovens
1
Cut a 84" lengths of wovens. Cut in half on the long
fold so you have 2 pieces that are 21" x 84". Once cut
- snip about 1" into the long edge and tear so you have
a straight of grain edge on the short side. Repeat with
the other end. Now you have approximately a 21" x
82" piece of fabric that has straight of grain on the
short sides. Save other half of fabric for 2nd scarf.

Now that you have your fringe stabilized, either serge
the long raw edge or turn under twice - 1/8" and sew in
place.
