Golden Florence lace scarf

Image
One more variation for my scarf design "Florence". Yarn: Silk Cloud from Shibui Knits - about 1.5 skeins = 495 yards. Size made: 78.7" x 11" (200 x 28 cm). Needles US 6 - 4.0 mm. I have to say - the yarn is just gorgeous! It's definitely my favourite mohair yarn. It's extremely soft, not too messy in process of knitting, not too fluffy. Just I wish Shibui would add some gentle tones. And I really miss their "blush" color.

Lace Scarf "Florence" with Silk Cloud from Shibui

This is another version of my newly designed scarf "Florence". Here I used 30 grams, 396.0 yards (362.1m) of lace weight yarn Silk Cloud from Shibui, color Ash. The yarn has mohair and silk fibers and it's the best mohair I have ever worked with so far, it's extremely soft and mildly fuzzy, It just can not be better.

Warm Mohair Gloves

It has become colder in Seattle. I like this rainy season, air is getting thinner, rain is making people calm. It's also a perfect time for meditation, because rain is helping you to look inside. My hands are often getting cold very easily. I have an old cotton gloves I knitted two years ago, but they are not warm enough. So I decided to find a window between my projects and knit some gloves for myself with fluffy mohair. It's incredibly warm! See My Patterns tab to download the pattern for these gloves for FREE.
