Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn in a scarf

Would you wear socks from this so-called Sock Yarn?  But as an hand-woven scarf the yarn is a winner!.
I have used Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn S418 as the weft on a natural coloured brown Western Australian Corriedale wool warp.  Two scarves in two patterns, with a lot of autumn tints, but with some bright red, green and blue tints.  These are nominally 1700mm x 200mm and weigh 118g.  The mix of 40% wool, 25% silk, 25% polyamide and 10% mohair with the thin Corriedale gives a lovely soft scarf, with a warm feel and look.

Hand-woven African Expressions Soul yarns

As a momento of a 10 day holiday in South Africa earlier this year I purchased 100g each of two African Expressions Soul yarns.  These yarns are a mixture of 50% merino, 15% mohair, 15% silk and 20% polyamide and are hand-painted in various colours.   I used both yarns as the warp but wove each in a different pattern and with different yarns.
In the first one, #7267H, I used a green coloured hand-dyed cashmere yarn as the weft with the green blending in well with the green in the warp.  The limited amount of cashmere available resulted in a  short scarf of 1340mm x 205mm, weighing 98g, but it is a lovely soft scarf in an interesting pattern and colour combination.
In the second scarf, with colour #7204H, I used a thin silver coloured fluffy silk yarn as the weft.  Whoa! what a scarf!  It is lovely and thin, so soft, and with a striking (no pun intended, but it does have arrow heads) pattern dominated by the silver silk.  And this one is long, being 1910mm x 210mm and weighing 109g.
See them both soon at Aspects of Kings Park or The Artisan Store Fremantle depending upon stock movement.

Handwoven scarf using Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn

I was a bit concerned about using a sock yarn for a scarf, but whoa, what a wonderful result!

I have used Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn, #S426, as the weft on a silvery blue silk warp in two different patterns.  The Noro yarn is 40% wool 25% silk, 25% polyamide and 10% mohair.  The scarves are nominally 1800mm x 205mm and weigh 148g.

Two light and cool looking colourful scarves will give you such an uplift to your outfit.  You will be the envy of all your friends.
