One + One – Scarves, Shawls & Shrugs

You don’t need much yarn to make something beautiful.

Discover how to artfully combine skeins to create neckwear with stunning patterns, textures, and tones. These 25+ projects from Iris Schreier and a dozen of her favourite designers feature varied methods of combining yarns and include a number if unusual techniques to try. Stretch the impact of an expensive silk yarn by mixing it with a more affordable yarn in Judith Rudnick Kane’s Infinity Twist. Integrate two different colours of a single yarn, as in Annie Modesitt’s Slip Stitch Wimple. Or mix yarn weights like Lisa Hoffman did in her Flower Ruffle Keyhole Scarf, using a thicker yarn for the body and a lace weight for the ruffled edging. Just too skeins but so many possibilities.
