Beautiful Sock Yarn & Wool for Your Next Project
I really enjoyed knitting the Noro and Kidsilk Stripe Scarf. It is an elegant summer weight scarf in simple stripes. This is striped scarf knit using Noro Silk Garden Sock and Rowan Kidsilk Haze.
Noro Silk Garden Sock is one of the gorgeous Noro yarns in amazing colours of lilac, mauve, purple, pink, olive green, navy and ice blue. The yarn is a lovely blend of 40% lambswool, 25% silk, 25% nylon and 10% kid mohair. [Read More]

Shilasdair dyer, Eva Lambert (has since retired from dyeing since this article was written), is inspired by the intense but subtle colours of the Isle of Skye landscape where she lives and works and the legacy of Scottish natural dyeing.
