Before I knit garments in expensive high end materials such as cashmere, yak or qiviut, sometimes I test the appearance of patterns or pattern combinations in less expensive and man made materials. This soft and very long scarf in a black is such a "pilot" garment.Ideal for men (or women) who like interesting patterns, combining cables and knit and purl. Great combination for denim or warm winter jackets. Very soft and warm material.
