In The Pink
Usually my warps are 100% pure silk, but this time I’m using pink cashmere/silk yarn that I bought last year. I will use a lace-type draft so the finished item should be light, soft and airy.

In my previous post I promised you a glimpse of the silk scarves inspired by my autumn walk. So here it is.
I put out all my reels of blue and green ready to create two silk scarves. Then, I went for a walk and took a photo of the lake. It’s amazing how similar the colours of the silk are to the photo.
Handmade on my vintage knitting machine, each fair isle shawl takes about two days and can have up to 30 different colours in each one.
A silk warp on the loom in various shades of red. I weave on a Louet Megado 16 shaft loom which gives me lots of pattern options.
