After being gifted this wool by a friend I have known for over 30 years I decided to turn it in to a design to celebrate our friendship. It is a good mix of straightforward sophisticated striping and some fun, colourful but simple lace at the end. The boomerang shape makes it easy to wrap around your neck like a big yarny hug whilst the silk/cotton blend yarn has a lovely sheen and drape - not to mention being ridiculously soft and snuggly.

For the sample I used

Contrast Colour 1 – 1x50g ball (115m/126yards) of Debbie Bliss Sita in Aqua
