Gneiss
What is Gneiss besides a really really nice scarf? It is also a medium- to coarse-grained, metamorphic rock characterized by alternating light and dark bands. Bascially... it’s the schist!
Seriously though, Gneiss Scarf is worked tip to tip with a simple lace border going up the straight edge of the scarf. Optional beads are placed at the center of the lace motif. The Scarf is written for two sizes and is easily adjustable to make bigger or smaller.
Kits for Gneiss Scarf were sent as the March ’23 shipment for Lola’s Choice (Laura’s super fun small knitted kit club). If you don't want to miss out on future kits you should sign up now!
I knit my Gneiss in Garthenor Organic Number 1. Number 1 is a woolen-spun single ply naturally colored organic lace yarn. Garthenor is breed specific and can trace each skein of yarn back to the flock that produced the wool.
