Scarf is hand knit in multiple colors of 55% merino wool, 25% superfine alpaca and 20% Donegal tweed. Truly one of a kind, this scarf can never be replicated, due to its unique colors and construction.
Knit lengthwise in the linen stitch, the fabric looks more woven than knitted. The scarf measures 56" in length, with an additional 8" of fringe on each end. The width is 5". The linen stitch produces a substantial fabric that, in this wonderful fiber, is soft, durable and warm.
As a fiber addict, I can never part with even the smallest amount of yarn remaining from completed projects! I became intrigued with the "recipe" for this scarf, which incorporates lengths of fiber which are too short for complete projects, yet too precious to toss.
What fun I had upon casting on! With my basket of colorful fiber next to me, I selected colors at buying random. It was absolutely fascinating watching the fabric and color combinations emerge. I tended more toward grays and muted hues for this scarf, with several bolds thrown in for fun; I love the result.
The fringe was also a revelation! Normally, it is added after completion. This recipe, instead, allows for creating fringe in each color while knitting: genius!
The scarf requires hand washing and air drying. Care instructions will be included.
If you're searching for a truly unique scarf, you've found it!
