Shibui Silk Cloud and Pure Cashmere
Tayler Harris’s Juno is a necklace of buttery cashmere for when you want to feel especially elegant. This narrow scarf uses a simple knit-and-purl stitch pattern to create a vertical textured design. The kit is available in two versions: Version 1 uses Shibui Pure Cashmere on its own, and Version 2 adds a strand of lace weight Silk Cloud held together with the cashmere for added halo and sheen (Note: Our sample photos are of Version 2, using both Shibui yarns.)
Each Version 1 kit contains 1 skein of Shibui Pure Cashmere (100% ethically sourced cashmere) in the color of your choice and a hard copy of the pattern for Juno. Each Version 2 kit contains 1 skein of Shibui Pure Cashmere, 1 skein of Shibui Silk Cloud (60% kid mohair, 40% silk), and a hard copy of the pattern for Juno. Each kit will make one scarf approximately 3.5” wide by 57” long.
