The first colour combo I chose with the Cascade 220 is a bold one - a deep teal blue (Azure) with a lighter Lemon Yellow. I did this particular weaving draft in last year's scarves, as well, but in a colour combination that didn't have enough contrast. This one has lots of contrast, and in fact vibrates a bit when you look at it. I'm pretty sure that some kid will love this crazy scarf. I hope it gives them a bit of a puzzle, too, to figure out how there are vertical stripes on one side of the scarf and horizontal stripes on the other side.
Yesterday, I worked up a second colour combination with the three-colour hopsack. This time, I used the Peruvian Highland Wool in Peach for the warp and did the weft in Brick and Natural. As I mentioned, the gingham effect is much more successful this time, presumably because of the use of the Natural yarn.
