Candy Scarf in the Making!

Recently Scaapi gifted me with three balls of the South African organic MoYa cotton. I had not worked with it before, but had seen pictures of it on the internet. Like this beautiful doily blanket in the making by the talented Maaike from Crejjtion.

I wanted to make something that would do justice to the look and feel of the yarn. MoYa has a sturdy rope-like look, but feels - surprisingly - soft. I wanted to create a fairly solid texture which would highlight both these qualities. I was in doubt whether to make placemats or a scarf, and in the end - after trying several patterns - decided on the latter.

Love the texture and colours!

Blocking...

Tomorrow I'll publish the pictures of the finished scarf plus the pattern and other details. But - because it's such beautiful yarn - I thought I'd share some pictures of the work in progress here with you today.

Many thanks for your visit. I hope you are having a lovely week!

    I had not previously heard of this cotton yarn, but very much like the look of it. That it can be both light and texturally interesting...and have beautiful colors, too, make it very tempting.

    Your scarf is going to be so pretty and very wearable. xo

    I have been crocheting for 46 years, but only recently have noticed photos regarding blocking squares. I notice what appears to be the same in one of your photos today. May I ask exactly how you do it....and why? Does it make that much of a difference?

    I enjoy your blog.....the colors, projects, photography, and your writings. Thank you for taking the time to share.
