Welcome and I look forward to seeing how all of your projects come along!
Obviously this is a simple scarf pattern done in basic stockinette stitch. However after many many years of knitting with incredible fibers, and having them slowly disintegrate, become holey, loose life and become a listless and lackluster, scarf or otherwise… I felt it was time to do some serious research and find out just what worked best, how to do so, and how to write it up in a way that was user friendly to read and understand.
Many many swatches later… and more money than my other half needs to know about… I have figured out what holds up best, treats the fibers the way they deserve, as well as preserve them for many many years.
Just wanted to add a side note to the instructions that I have written out within this pattern on the proper care and treatment for blocking. (which is truly what this pattern covers from start to finish. (hence the many pages included ;)
Please know that this process is true for all natural fibers. However should you follow it to the letter then any fiber in the silk, linen, qiviut, alpaca, cashmere, mink families will have the same outcome.
And you will either be giving a gift that will last for many years feeling the same year after year, or start stocking up on your heirlooms now.
And should you have any concerns along the way. I am an email or message away.
