Knit Picks says about this the wool/silk blend I chose to work with:
Gloss DK is a luxurious blend of soft Merino wool and lustrous silk. The fiber blend takes dye very well, resulting in glowing saturated colors. Gloss DK has a large spectrum of colors, which are ideal for combining in color work projects. It is next-to-skin soft, and good for wearing around your neck or on your wrists, since it’s not itchy. Its sheen and drape produce a very sleek fabric, which shows off the stockinette stitch.That Gloss DK is soft, squishy, and easy to handle. I like that it has silk in it, and the greys look lively, which seems like an oxymoron to the color gray. Here are the color choices in my project that will look good with blacks, reds, and even peach colors:
The Knit Girllls (Lala, actually) talked about this design on her podcast in August, saying she had made several from this pattern, and that it was quick to knit and ingenious. I concur! And I already know I'll be making another scarf from this same pattern.
