Off the needles
A little fast scarf, knit on size 11 needles so it did knit fast. I wanted a reversible scarf you know that looks good or the same on both sides. This is Churchmouse Yarns and Teas Reversible Neck Wrap and Scarf. Its is knit with a knit 1, purl 1 ribbing and cables front and back for the braided cable. It was much simpler than it sounds and fast. I used the yarn that DIL found in New Zealand two years ago its merino wool and possum fur. NZ possums are different than North American opossums. They are furrier and a nuisance because they have no natural predators all they do is eat and destroy crops. I don't know how the fur is harvested but it is very soft and very warm, occasionally I would come to a tiny clump of fur that didn't get spun into the yarn thats what that little white tuft is. Looking forward to wearing it. --Ann--
Beautiful finish! I had no idea possums had fur long enough to spin.
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf! I especially like those beautiful cables!
