The Slow Life Scarf was designed specifically for Moya Opal, a lovely yarn that consists 35% Superwash Wool, 10% Mohair and 55% Cotton. Each ball has 2 equal fibre weight strands, of which 1 strand, the wool &
mohair blend (the natural colour) is continuous with no knots / joins.The other strand, which is 100% cotton, is made up of 3 colours with 2 visible knots / joins and an abrupt colour change after each knot. In this design I used the entire ball of ± 135g / 450 m.
This pretty lace scarf can be worn in so many different ways. The colour migration is stunning, and the effect is enhanced by the migration from garter to lace.
This scarf is much easier than it looks. It is also the perfect introduction to lace knitting.
