Hand-woven green cashmere scarf

How time flies.  Way back on 4 October 2012 I showed on my blog six hanks of cashmere yarn which I had just hand-dyed.  I have just got around to weaving the first ones!
To start with I have taken the yarn dyed Daintree (a colour in the Landscape dye range) and woven a scarf in the same pattern as my previous scarf.  The scarf is long, but lightweight, being 1820mm x 220mm and weighing only 83g.  Being woven in a top quality cashmere yarn the scarf is extremely soft and delicate, being in a 2-ply yarn.  An interesting feature of the scarf are the occassional darker threads where the hand-dyeing was not quite even.
