This silk scarf pattern by Nancy Morey is one of four patterns available in the Winter 2011 issue of SpinKnit, a dynamic digital eMag from Interweave. Even without spinning or reeling, you can enjoy the process of making silk yarn with mawata hankies. This simple pattern shows off the sheen and softness of silk; pull the mawata very thin for a lacier effect.
