{Romney Kerchief}

{I recently finished the Romney Kerchief by Jared Flood.}

Pattern: Romney Kerchief
Yarn: Brooklyn Tweed SHELTER - 2 skeins
Color: Hayloft
Needles: Size 9 circular 32"
Ravelry link

I added a few extra repeats so that it can be worn as a small shawl. This uses exactly two skeins. Shelter has been a favorite of mine lately - it is very lofty and light and blocks to create a cohesive, full fabric. I have seen a lot of comments about Shelter being scratchy and full of hay, but I have found this to be entirely untrue. It is soft, easy to wear against the neck, and there is some hay; however, this is a small price to pay for a natural product. Personally, I am not fond of the highly processed and glossy yarns.
