When I received my kit for this project it was a surprise to find such a variety of naturally colored wool and fiber. It took me a little while to get a handle on what I wanted to create. Then I remembered broomstick lace. My Grandma taught my Mom and Mom taught me. Rusty at the technique, it took me a few rows to get my groove back.

The creation eventually made itself into a scarf. The body is broomstick lace, crocheted on a large dowel to give the scarf drape. I spun a wild bulky yarn from the fiber in the kit so the locks were very prominent. This became the fringe.

I saved a bit of the handspun yarn to be a back drop for my add in black pin. It is a flower with soft feathers arranged behind it. The purple firestar peeks out from behind the flower to give an elegant spark appeal. The entire pin embellishment is on a clip so can be easily removed or placed elsewhere on the scarf. It could also be worn as a cowl.

Scarf measures approximately 48 inches long x 4 inches wide (not including fringe)
