Final Rainbow Scarf Pictures
Just because. I won't see this again for a long time.
To showcase the color changes I decided to pack this up ridged. I had to sew the riges in but it is easily unsewn.
I think this plastic thing originally held shower curtains but I can't say. I guess it is slightly snazzier than a ziplock bag. Now I need to write up scarf care instructions.

It's a rainbow
It's hard to show it all in one photo so here's 5. There is a bit of color overlap. I guess each color blend is about 3 bars but it's not quite consistent because of my inconsistent spinning but it averages out.




I think it will be dry by tomorrow. This is avery warm scarf, much thicker than my lace projects.

The Rainbow Scarf is done
Amazingly the yarn ended up ending where I estimated it would. I have blocked it to be exactly 6 feet 4 inches long because that is the height of the actuary. Supposedly scarves should be as long as the person is tall. It was 5'4" before washing but silk and alpaca tend to grow when wet and I went with it.

Fifty Percent by Weight...
Maybe. My plan to compensate the yardage discrepancy is not quite working out but I think I'll let it go. If the second half is similar to the first this will be 52 inches long unblocked. I anticipate that it will lengthen considerably when I wash and block it as silk and alpaca are wont to do.
I think it looks good though. The actuary should be pleased.
