Me sporting a Yak/Merino scarf made by Marianne
OK, it’s actually Yak and Merino, and it is SOOOOO SOFT and light, so warm.
Some time ago (how long was it Marianne?) I volunteered to do the Pay It Forward with Marianne. I had the easy part, she was the payer, I was the payee. Ha! To be honest, I had completely forgotten about it. Plus, I thought I was one of the extra ones that volunteered to do Pay It Forward with Marianne. It was really a bit of surprise to actually receive a package from her. Not that I didn’t think she was serious, mind you. I really just didn’t remember.
It is a loooong scarf knitted with 50% Yak, 50% Merino yarn, Superyak, by Karabella, made in Italy. A simple pattern, but the result is a super luxurious scarf. Possibly the softest knitted fabric that I’ve ever felt. So light and warm. And as you can see in the picture, it drapes really, really well. Thank you so much Marianne! It’s wonderful!

Hee. Glad you like it… I like that, You got Yakked! Just showed Bobby your photos :^)
(it was Jan.’08, or there about, when you volunteered, yes, it took me much longer than it should have but hey… and you’re so very welcome, thank you!)
You did a wonderful job on the scarf! Just in time for the cold weather.
It looks wonderful! I so love yak — it’s definitely one of my favorite fibers. Lucky you!
Oh… that scarf is lovely!
