my love for scarves continue..., this one is called scarf costagna!

knit project: mistake rib scarf
difficulty (1-5): 1.0
size: long (15 stitches, 2 full skeins)
yarn: colinette's graffiti in costagna
knitting specs: US 11

... is the name of this yarn, how cool is that?

francoise swapped these for some american goods with me a while back, i knew then they will become a cozy scarf for my neck. and of course, november is all about accessories at whispering pine.

the official description of this color is too perfect so i'm just going to recite them here:

"costagna, hot punch and the perfume of pine smoke. wrap up in the cosy comfort and warmth of these toasted chestnut colours."

this scarf is all about the yarn. so, i used mistake rib pattern to give it just enough ribbing and roughness as i want it to be bohemic. to complete the look, i added those long, long fringes.

point five in copperbeech and grafitti in castagna

aren't they pretty? francoise was offering these for sale a while ago, i knew i would be owning them the moment i saw them. so, here they are, all the way from england. handspun, hand-dyed yarns such as point five and grafitti are destined to be some funky hats and scarves. i can't wait to be cold again!

thank you francoise! i love these yarns!
