| This wonderful soft scarf is woven in a new yarn that is produced in New Zealand. It consists of a blend of soft Merino wool, Possum fibre and silk. Because the Possum fibre has microscopic airpockets it has thermal capacities, is very light and about 7% warmer than wool. In this sample the yarn is 110/2 TEX and I set it at 24epi. If you want to know more about the Possum blend click on it. |

I look at it as a learning experience |
