Or almost!
Work’s been pretty hectic this week, so something simple was required for my weekly making-fix. I’ve always dismissed scarf yarns as verging just a little bit on the naff, although, to be fair, not all of them. (And I love snoods, something I’ll definitely be having a go at now I’ve reawakened my love of knitting). I’ve been seduced by the novelty of such yarns before, but been disappointed by the results.
However I spotted this particular one in a lovely wool shop in Lydney, (The Forest of Dean), where I was visiting my in-laws a couple of weekends ago. It’s a yarn (or ‘tubular ribbon’ if you want to get technical) called ‘Voila’ by Adriafil, which requires nothing more than a crochet hook and a basic chain stitch, which even I could manage (I can’t crochet, though would love to try). It took me roughly an hour to construct and voila...
I love both the colour and the twisted effect of this. It’s similar in style to one that cost me a small fortune from All Saints a few years ago. My daughter’s quite taken with it too, so maybe I’ll be whipping another one up sooner than I’d planned…

It took you only an hour!! Wow!! It’s really sweet and the curly design makes it look more complicated than a normal straight scarf 🙂
You only need one ball and it came in loads of lovely shade too, would definitely recommend it as a quick project.
Haha I can’t knit to save my life though!
Never too late to learn 🙂
An hour?! Amazing! I like the idea of speed-craft!
Absolutely, simple and quick! Very satisfying when you need a quick fix 🙂
Ooo that looks clever! Haven’t seen that wool before.
Me neither which is why I allowed myself to break my no-buying oath! And it only required one ball, so I didn’t spend too much… 😉
Gorgeous colour and agree they are quick to make!
Thank you! Sometimes you just need a quick fix 🙂
Very clever, looks lovely and warm.
Thanks, but it was the yarn that did all the work 😉
