The Colorwork Series No. 2 scarf by Cecelia Campochiaro is a fascinating exploration of the interplay between closely related shades and the wabi-sabi effect.
The design calls for selecting seven different colors from a single color range and knitting them together using two strands. This creates 21 unique two-strand color combinations. Each of these 21 melange combinations is knitted exactly twice per pattern repeat. This well-thought-out system ensures that all colors and yarn quantities are used up absolutely evenly.
- The pattern (“Nuts and Bolts”): A damask-like textured pattern consisting of knit and purl stitches. It gives the knit the supple feel of stockinette stitch while bringing out the melange colors vividly through the varying refraction of light caused by the vertical and horizontal stitch structures
- The Original Yarn: Knitted with ITO Kinu (100% bourette silk). The yarn captivates with its elegant tweed-like appearance and gives the two-strand shawl a beautiful, light drape.
