I think it stands for Soy-Wool-Stripes. I've been getting mine at Michael's with the 40% off coupons.

Thanks! No real pattern. It is done in the Solomon's Knot and I just went back and forth lengthwise until it looked wide enough. Added fringe.

That really is beautiful! I never would have thought that SWS would work up like that. I haven't tried it yet, but now I just may have to!

I, too, just finished a scarf and hat using SWS. I loved it so much I went back to Michael's and got 6 more skeins of all different colors! Beautiful pattern choice, it really striped well!

Oh, there is that blasted Solomon's Knot again. People like you are going to break my resistance with beautifully made scarfs and shawls so I will have to learn how to do this knot.

 

Seriously, it's a very pretty scarf.

[Fidgement]

I love it! What pattern did you use and how much yarn?

Great job!

[Yearnin' for Yarn]

That's beautiful! I bought some SWS in the natural plum and am making a felted bag with it; i went back and bought 5 skeins of the natural earth. It does work up so nicely and is very soft. I wouldn't mind making myself a scarf with it, but from working on my bag, I think it might get fuzzy and scratchy with wear---what do you think about how it will wear?

You chose a great stitch to show off that lovely yarn! Nice work!

Is the Solomon's Knot the same as The Lovers Knot?

[KnicKnac]

That is the perfect stitch for a yarn I bought that don't know what to do with it...where can I find out how to do that stitch?

 

Beautiful!!!
