I’ve always been interested in Greek mythology, so here is Helen, a little one-skein scarf, which I have named after Helen of Sparta, who was conceived when Zeus came to her mother in the form of a swan, and who also spent ten years living in an area of the world where angora goats were first domesticated.

Merino Angel is a limited edition, so if it is difficult to procur, any similar-weight mohair or mohair blend yarn should also work.
