I had some left over silk hankies from one of my scarf projects from last week (see previous blog) so I attenuated them and spun up this mini-skein (30 grams).

After much discussion on the Fiber Artists Facebook page, I tried the non-roll method to create the following scarves. It worked perfectly.note to self (use much less water and remember to wipe out the dryer afterwards).
