Silk sari scarf pink recycled warm soft hand knitted lavender gray
<br />This is a soft, eye-catching scarf that I knitted in an open ladder stitch design from recycled sari silk from Nepal. When I received the silk it was hard and twisted - apparently unusable, but I absolutely loved the jewel-like colours. So I washed it and put it back on my wheel to take out some of the twist (S twist) - and the result is magic - soft, slightly fuzzy but retaining its glowing colours - mostly pinks and lavender in this one, but with an occasional flash of cream. I knitted it with a hand dyed lavender and grey merino and acrylic mix binder thread for added strength.
<br />The scarf is a generous size - 85 inches long, including 5 inches of lavender gray fringe at either end, and approx. 5 inches wide.
