Chocolate and grey cashmere

Have just completed two scarves using 2-ply cashmere yarns sourced from Knitter's Addiction. Although sold as 9m per g, it is finer than my previous cashmere yarns of 2/26 and 2/23. Consequently these first two scarves have a more open weave than expected, since I used the same 20dpi reed as used with the original cashmere yarns. The two scarves are very similar to each other, both in the same pattern, and one being 1500mm x 210mm and weighs 52g, whilst the second is 1420mm x 210mm and weighs 50g. The photos show both sides of the pattern.
