Remember the tussah silk/baby camel I spun a couple weeks ago? Well, on Saturday I picked up some bigger seed beads and have started another of those little neck scarves with it. And it’s really pretty.

I was concerned about how it would look knit up. The top (spinning fiber) was raspberry, salmon, and muted yellow/green. I was worried that the green would only serve to muddy it up, being a complimentary color on the color wheel. The yarn isn’t all that pretty where the berry plies with the green. It looks odd. But I’d hoped it would look nice when sitting next to other combinations in the ply. The berry with berry and the salmon with green or berry each look nice. There’s a little bit of green with green, we’ll see how that looks when it pops up.

But really, the colors change so subtly, flowing from one to the next… I’m loving it. It’s lovely. And I’m really surprised. I only persevered because it was a small project and I wanted to finish it. There’s a lot of yarn left and it’s possible it’ll get yuck, but I’m very optimistic now.
