This colourful, tactile scarf has been created by Susan Litton. She first spun a small amount of each of the FIBRECRAFTS silk fibres and then microwave dyed the yarn samples with Acid dye.

She knitted the yarn into a long, narrow scarf before attaching tassels across both ends and at intervals along each side for about 30cm.

The photographs don't do the scarf justice. The silk fibres provide moments of sheen in the knitting and the pretty, feathery tassels a real element of fun.
