Named for Knitters Mercantile, a Columbus, Ohio yarn shop, this neck wrap uses five colors of the fabulous Reywa Bloom yak/silk lace yarn. It is worked in the round beginning with a picot cast on and ending with beaded I-cord tails. The stockinette surface is textured with eyelets that hide decreases. The result is a fascinatingly organic shape that hugs the neck and delights the eye!

The scarf is about 6 1/2” wide at the cast on and decreases to the end.The finished scarf is about 105” long. It requires half a skein each of five colors. Reywa Bloom is available in 5 cool colors and 5 warm colors plus natural, so there are many color choices. Other choices include the order of colors, the length of the solid and blended sections, the length of the I-cords, and beads. This is one you can truly make your own.
