In response to a request from a friend I have hand-woven a scarf using Sirdar Firefly #884 yarn. This is a 100% nylon yarn comprising two black threads with small coloured squares joining the two threads at regular intervals. I have used this yarn as the warp and used a similar thickness black wool yarn as the weft.
The result is an interesting open-weave, lightweight, black scarf with many colourful small squares. The colours in yarn #884 are reds, pinks, orange and light brown. The 1810mm x 230mm scarf only weighs 58g. It wont keep you warm but will certainly add colour to your outfit.
