Swap yarn Scarf - Ta Dah


I had some lovely yarn from a 'Swap' in June.  They travelled across the pond from the USA and are brands I am not familiar with.  Pinks and Greens are my favourite colours, especially together.  I think these two yarns were made for each other.
Mini Mochi - Strawberry Lime
and:
Lion Brand 'Amazing'- Rainforest

I used double crochet to stripe them together and make a warm scarf.  I love the  resulting 'fabric'.  I cannot yet master very fancy or technical patterns but I love the textured and colour effects you can create with simple stitches and combining yarns.  The way the weather has changed I will be needing this scarf really soon.

  3. Those yarns don't need to be in a fancy schmancy pattern they speak for themselves. Gorgeous colours! The multicoloured one is very like King Cole Riot if you wanted a UK version.

I appreciate and enjoy reading all of the feedback from your comments. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and sharing your thoughts.
