I always get weak when I look at Rowan's Kidsilk Haze yarn. It is probably one of the best yarns and it has been around for quite a while! When it first came out I wasn't so excited and wondered what one would do with such thin thread. But since then many many yards have slipped through my fingers and I am quite sure many knitters have at least one ball in their stash. And that is exactly what you will need to make this one skein wonder! I called it "Marmalade" because my first version was made out of the color "Marmalade" and this is a very suitable name for such a yummy scarf!
Wouldn't it make a great project for a gift? Who could resist.

I really love this piece! It was fun to knit while sitting at the beach in Alabama (yes, linen is the go to material when you know you will be knitting at the beach).
