Back in April of this year I had the extreme pleasure to work with Jeni from Fyberspates.
My brief was to produce a scarf using the most delectable yarn called Cumulus.
The properties of this yarn are 72% Baby Alpaca and 26% Mulberry Silk.
It comes in 25g balls and the most glorious colour choices
The yarn knits as a Lace weight yet due to it's "bounce" and fibre content it feels thicker.
The two yarns colours I worked with were Silver Green and Sea Green.
My inspiration for my Cable Scarf Ellora Scarf came from the name sake of the yarn Cumulus. I spent days just looking up and photographing the Cumulus clouds and decided I wanted to produce a textured 3D scarf. The yarn keeps the three dimensional quality perfectly.
My scarf can be worn in many ways, but one thing for sure, it will keep you warm but be super light weight at the same time.
The second design Tarpooley Scarf derived it's inspiration from the beautiful Foxglove plant with the glourious "bell" shapes of the flower.
I love layering things and having the detail at each base of this scarf but then the delicate reverse Stocking Stitch for the body enables you to enjoy the lightness of the fibre.
