Teacher's Purple and Gold Scarf 1

I help 3 of my grandkids weave scarves in school colors for their teachers for Christmas, and this is the first scarf they are working on for this school year.  This is N's scarf for her teacher, and T is helping her.  I'm weaving on it, too, since they don't live close enough to weave on it very often.

12 purple, 12 gold, 12 purple, 12 gold, 12 purple plus floating selvages.  Weft is gold. 6.5" wide. 2.5 yard warp. 62 ends. 15 heddles per shaft. 2.5 x 62= 155 yards warp.
