Pictures! Of Scarves!

Top row, L to R: Souffle Scarves, colors Currant, Pumpkin, Ginger, and Strawberry Cream

Bottom row, L to R: Cobweb Scarves, colors Fern, Stream, Storm, and Heather

See? Scarves! I've had them knitted for some time, but only today did a marathon photo session. Both styles are knitted on large needles, creating an airy fabric that traps warm air against your skin to keep you warm, but doesn't weigh you down with pounds of fiber.

The Souffle Scarves are knitted of brushed suri alpaca blended with a little bamboo and merino. What's that mean, you say? Well, suri alpaca is the rarer, silkier type of alpaca, and brushed makes it fluffy. You know those flannel sheets you love for the winter? Those are brushed cotton. Imagine silky-soft alpaca brushed in the same manner, and highlighted with smooth bamboo and snuggly merino! They really are as luxurious as they sound.

The Cobweb Scarves are knit of lustrous kid mohair. Mohair comes from angora goats, and "kid" refers to the fineness of the fiber, not necessarily the age of the animal (though as in many species, the baby coats of the goats are finer than those of the adults, hence the term kid mohair). This mohair yarn feels as though it has silk in it, but is actually kid mohair with a touch of nylon and merino wool (mainly as stabilizing components to hold the mohair fluff). It is even finer and lighter than the alpaca scarves, and would work equally well in Dallas or Duluth!

Both of these scarf styles are available in other colors--just contact me for a custom order!

Other photos are hopefully forthcoming--we are actually beginning to have "winter" weather here in San Diego, meaning it's grey and cloudy and sometimes even raining! What this means for you (besides jealousy that our winter weather is still warm enough for jeans and a t-shirt during the day) is that good lighting for photo sessions is harder to come by. I'll try for shots of the Horizon Hats tomorrow!
