Merino and silk

Whilst on holiday recently in the UK I visited the Farfield Mill in Sedbergh, Cumbria. This was a very interesting mill with an historical display and much excellent modern craft work. I saw some lovely hand-spun and hand-dyed merino/silk yarn spun by Rosie in Wales and purchased 150g.
I have now woven my first scarf since my return from holiday using this yarn. With a limited amount of the yarn the resultant scarf is 1420mm x 185mm and weighs 127g.
I intend putting this scarf on my stand of scarves in a Pop-up shop being planned by Leonie of Pelava. Details will be posted when available.
