Subtle Stripes

I've been having wonderful fun working with yarns designed to stripe as they are knit, but with a twist -- combining different yarns in texture and colorway. As the piece develops, the colors unfold in marvelous patterns, yielding rich and warm variations -- but evolving gently. These particular scarves use a rich sock yarn of silk and merino wool and a contrasting yarn of silk, cotton, merino and a little sparkle of poly here and there. The yarns are soft and washable, and continue to soften over wearing. No two are the same!! I feel as if I'm painting with yarn as I create these wonderful pieces. Many thanks to the wonderful Yan Qian for the inspiration and design concept. For detailed choices and examples, see more under 'Hand Knits' at KnittenKaboodle.com.
