Eye Lash Sparkle Scarf

Emily Rose and her eye lash scarf. Although this blog is dedicated to hand spun I have included this picture of my niece with one of her Christmas presents. I used 2 strands of commercial acrylic yarn. One was sport weight the other eye lash in a bright pink. The scarf was knitted on size 10 1/2 needles using the garter stitch so the scarf wouldn't roll on the edges. Instead of fringe on the ends I used pre-strung beads sewn on satin ribbon. This made the scarf extra special because it was not only very soft but sparkling as well. I included a polar fleece head band and gloves with butterfly's done in sparkle as well

Mohair core spun scarf

This scarf is knitted with a mohair core spun on a wool yarn. The mohair locks were dyed using a casserole method. When dried they were hand teased and then core spun onto a 100%wool yarn. The scarf was knitted in garter stitch on large needles. leaving the color and texture of the scarf the noticeable factors. The scarf was completed with beads sewn on a satin ribbon then attached on the ends. Elena loved the gift from her Aunt Lisa and wore the scarf all Christmas day
