This is a really attractive scarf. The slinkyness of the Fauve yarn really captures the loop effect and the scarf hangs well too. It grows quite quickly. The loop stitch is quite fun to do. The design takes 6 balls of Louisa Harding Fauve yarn. (Each ball contains 127 yards (116 metres) per ball. The ball band tension is 5.5sts to 1inch.
