Seed stitch scarf with alpaca yarn
I finished this scarf on Mon, Sep 7, 2015. It measured 61 inches long and approx 6 inches wide. Then I added fringe that measured about 3 inches long. I still had a small amount of yarn left from the second skein.
The scarf looks nice. I like the look of the seed stitch. The scarf is soft and flexible. It might be a bit longish for me, but it should look nice on CP. At that length, it can be doubled over and then looped through itself.

The alpaca farm exists in Ashland, Ohio. It's the store owner's farm.
I'm unsure where the hair is milled I to yarn. The store also sells roving.
Crocheting a scarf with two skeins of this yarn. The color is off-white or cream.
After the first skein, scarf is 39 inches long and 5.75 to 6.00 inches wide. I'm crocheting width-wise.
If scarf was only 4 inches wide, it might be how long? Math. At least 45 inches long. I wonder if seed stitch uses more yarn than a half-double crochet.
Anyway, one 200 yard skein could create a small scarf.
