Knot yarn with nubby silk

Colors are neon pink and green, lemon, peach, bits of purple and sky blue, The yarn is composed of two wool plies, one of which is brightly colored and spun as bouillions around the other. A third ply of lacelike silk yarn is added for stability. This yarn will felt but the result will be highly textured, as the silk will not felt well. I’ve made a lovely zigzag scarf with this yarn–warm, soft and dramatic!
