I love this crochet scarf pattern so much that I am going to stick with it for a while and make a few of these in different colours. So, I've picked up the left overs of the Colinette Mohair Summer Berries from the broomstick lace scarf I made and paired it with some vintage Lister Lee Tahiti in a lilac colour, which looks like it will work with the Summer Berries.
78% Mohair, 13% Wool, 9% Nylon |
81% Mohair (including 9% Kid Mohair), 14% Wool, 5% Nylon |
I've not used the vintage Tahiti before, I have some of this in other colours, and it is very soft, much softer than the Colinette Mohair, probably the Kid Mohair element has something to do with it. The overall fibre content shifts slightly to be 79% Mohair, 13% Wool, 8% Nylon. With the differences in colour of the Colinette Mohair skeins, due to it being "hand-dyed", I used up some of the darker left overs for the middle section and then switched to the lightest skein for outer edge sections. This does show up on the scarf and gives and interesting effect.
Once again, no work-in-progress photos, so straight to the finished product.
