One more scarf

• Kamicha, August 14th, 2008, in finished

I’m still pretty exited about my quite successful explorations of Noro yarns. That idea of simple striped Noro scarf has tempted me since I saw the first one. And all those beautiful finished objects since that really made me sure that this is the right way to go with Noro.

I love this Kureyon colourway #183. Gorgeous shades of brown, black, gray, intensive teal, lime green… Four skeins of Kureyon are enough for pretty long scarf, unfortunately I did not remember to measure it before giving it away. Again one skein contained a knot and the colours did not continue seamlessly. Fortunately I did not buy all skeins at once, so I had some room for adjustments. Kureyon softens considerably in bath - and wet blocking made a world of difference to the look of this simple knit.

I still occassionally play with new ideas to make use of those long and bold colour changes of Noro yarns. Challenging, yes, but a good idea might produce a garment with otherworldly beauty.
