My original plan was to make a scarf using Nil and Cream but given the fact that the last scarf used up some of the second ball of Nil this is no longer an option so Plan B is to use what I have of the Nil, add some cream and also use some of the left over Aspen as well.
So the yarns used in this one are King Cold Big Value Baby 4ply in shade Nil, worked using 2 strands.
Stylecraft Special Aran in shade Aspen, worked just as it comes.
Stylecraft Special Aran in shade Cream, worked just as it comes
I decided to use the darkest yarn in the centre, flanked by cream and finished off with the Nil. I done it this way as it takes up less of the cream so that I can then use the left overs in conjunction with the second ball of cream on the next scarf and also it uses up as much of the Nil as possible.
I used the Nil held double and used 81g of the 90g that I had left, 50g of cream and 23g of Aspen and they are all 100% Acrylic.
It is only when I took the scarf outside into proper daylight, if you can call November in the Northern Hemisphere "proper daylight", that it became apparent that the pale blue-green aqua kind of colour yarn in the house is actually leaning more towards pale blue and away from any kind of green tinge. Whoopsy! Silly school girl error and I've been doing this far too long to have made such a silly error as checking colour combinations in natural night. Still makes an interesting scarf, just not quite as I had expected.
