The weave structure used for these scarves belongs to a special type of doubleweave in which warp and weft threads bend into curvy shapes during wet finishing. Working with this structure is rewarding, but it also presents challenges. A special benefit is that the structure produces two designs at the same time, one on the face of the cloth and a different one on the back. However, you have to use two or more shuttles with this weave, and producing smooth selvedges is sometimes difficult since the different wefts are inactive for a group of picks before being used again.
