After many weaving projects you find that you collect a selection of leftover yarns. My latest project has been to use up some of these yarns in two scarves. A common feature of both is that I used a new supply of a purple green multi Bendigo sock yarn (70% merino wool, 30% nylon) as the weft.
In the first scarf I used leftovers of a purple, and a salmon, coloured Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo yarn (40% wool, 25% silk, 25% polyamide, 10% mohair) as the weft. Various thickness horizontal bands of purple and salmon are superimposed on the longitudinal strips of purple and green. An interesting effect on a scarf 1750mm x 220mm weighing 154g.
In the second scarf I used leftovers of some Noro Mossa yarns (52% wool, 16% viscose, 11% mohair, 11% silk, 10% nylon) as the weft. The multicoloured bands from the Noro yarns are stripped through with the purple and green colours of the warp. This is a bulky feeling, soft scarf, being 1800mm x 220mm weighing 186g, that is sure to keep you warm.
See them soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.
