Two soft, light scarves


I've completed a pair of scarves in a very yummy Colinette hand-dyed mohair and Welsh wool yarn - it's such a pleasure to knit with this yarn, and I'm pleased with the way these have turned out. The colourways are described as 'dark jacob' and 'banwy'. When you look at this yarn, the range of shades and colours is just amazing. The grey green yarn is shot through with flashes of umber, rust, charcoal, blue grey, deep blue, deep blue green, pale lime, pale yellow green. The red and white colourway contains violet blue, deep blue, deep red-brown, umber, orange, pink and white. These are very beautifully designed yarns - very soft and lightweight - and I'm planning to knit more with them!
The two scarves are now in my etsy shop and you can see them at https://www.etsy.com/listing/100410468/hand-knit-scarf-shades-of-grey-green and https://www.etsy.com/listing/100465091/hand-knit-scarf-shades-of-orange-white

A new scarf - burgundy lace pattern

I've just finished a burgundy scarf in Rowan kid classic (70% lambswool, 26% kid mohair, 4% nylon), in a lacy pattern so that it's warm but not heavy. You can stretch it so that it's long and narrow, or shorter and wide. I plan to add this scarf to my Etsy shop, but the light just now is not good for photography (it's getting near sunset so the light is too yellowy). I'll try again tomorrow - watch this space!
Update, 18 November: I've now managed to take more photos and the scarf is in my Etsy shop. You can see it at http://www.etsy.com/listing/86481351/burgundy-hand-knit-scarf-warm-soft
