Blackberry, Midnight and Black

These two scarves, Hazy Frills Neck Wrap and Men's Rustic Scarf, were created using the same yarn in the same colors: Knit Picks Suri Dream. Suri Dream is a super bulky yarn that's 74% alpaca, 22% wool, and 4% nylon. Before Knit Picks discontinued Suri Dream I stocked up on a quite a few colors. 

Even though the pattern is called Men's Rustic Scarf I made it for a young woman whose favorite color is purple.

I used Blackberry, Midnight, and Black for the Rustic Scarf and Blackberry and Midnight for the Neck Wrap. There are very subtle differences between Midnight and Black, and I like how they contrast with Blackberry. 

I have ventured into the realm of knitting for people without asking if they would like for me to knit something for them. I am cautiously optimistic that the recipients of these scarves will like them.
