I spun 100 gms of merino silk blend and dyed it various colors. Used Nici's Ashford Cowl pattern to knit up - added extra repeat of the patterns and crochet around the end as this is a thinner yarn than the pattern called for. No for wearing in the summer obviously but the colors might remind me of the summer - if we had one that is. Rain, rain go away!
