The scarf is very long and noils yarn was used for fringing. The jacket was knitted in my favourite sideways on style-the back, knitted in both directions from a centre back cast on uses a yarn of noils, spun long draw, plied with a plain dyed silk cap. The fronts used a mixed yarn, with the noils inserted three times in the course of knitting one square. The noils part of the yarn was knitted in fairly long inserts with a use of short rows. The sleeves used a yarn with two insertions of noils so that the work was more open. The sleeves are very long!

I dyed the silk and tore it in to strips and knitted them also using dyed squares, spun and plyed in the Navaho manner to keep the colours separate. I made a scarf, using strips of silk chiffon, which take the dye so beautifully. I knitted it on the side knitting the chiffon and suing some more open stitches with the silk yarn. The result was a fabric with a beautiful “feel”, bouncy and lively.
