Isn’t it gorgeous? It’s made with #1402 Adirondack green, with 9 (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) skeins. Check out these bonus photos.
Laura Patterson from Fiber Dreams has a beautiful pattern, Niobe. Niobe is knit with just one ball of Halo, our brushed suri lace yarn. Light as a feather, this scarf is knit from one end to the other with a delicate shetland lace pattern along the edge.

This luxurious scarf would make an excellent holiday gift (or a special treat just for yourself)!

The wonderful Kristin Omdahl has a new book coming out called Seamless Crochet. We just love Kristin and were happy that she chose to use our yarn for a project in the book!
Snowflake Scarf
The Snowflake Scarf uses just 3 skeins of Glimmer. Each project in the book is created with few ends and seamless construction. It’s really pretty awesome, especially for people like me who hate to seam. Here’s a brief video where Kristin explains more about the seamless techniques.
