Fiber Arts Friday - Alpaca and Silk

Welcome to Fiber Arts Friday!  What a crazy week.  Our temperatures went from 2 degrees to 60 degrees then back to 14 degrees in one day.  All the seasons of weather in 24 hours.  That is just wicked.

As I was finishing my scarf, I was excited about getting some photos of it with the mild temperatures but I didn't finish it until yesterday morning before work.  The after work photos had me outdoors in the snow...and it was cold!

Regardless of the weather, my newest scarf is finished.  The warp is my Alpaca yarn in fingering weight and the weft is 100% Silk.  I am very pleased with how it turned out.  It's very soft and drapes beautifully.  Alpaca and Silk are are beautiful mix.

I have a couple of other projects I'm working on but they are for a "super seekrit swap" so I can't share the details until my spoilee gets her gift.





Now, share your adventures in Fiber Arts!

  7. Ooo, your scarf reminds me of ribbon candy at Christmas time. Hope you're not buried in snow down there now. I do prefer the white to the grey dreary that we had earlier in the week though. Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

  8. I was going to say the same thing as AllyB, about the ribbon candy. So pretty!

    We had crazy temps here too in NY, but not all in the same day.
    Can't believe it's February already.

    Have a great weekend!

  11. The snow is beautiful as is the scarf. I agree that alpaca and silk are perfect for each other.

    We've had the same wide temperature swings, but not in the same day. Crazy.
