| These scarves have been made from SPFee (TM) - a brand new Soy Protein Fibre yarn dyed by Laura. The yarn has 2000 yards per pound and is made of several strands of a fine 2 ply yarn. It is very soft and supple, comfortable to wear. The manufacturer indicates that it has numerous benefits such as anti-bacterial properties. It is made from the soy bean cake after the oil has been expressed using the new technology where the solvent agents have been recaptured and reused, making this yarn environmentally friendly as well as a really nice yarn to work with! Dyed skeins are approx. 550 yards, which is enough to make a warp for a scarf. Wefts can be the SPFee, bamboo, Tencel, cotton, silk - I've even used wool with it and been pleased with the resulting cloth. The scarves were woven at 20 epi in a 2:2 twill. The aqua scarf used Teal bamboo (Bambu 7) as weft. The coral scarf used 2/16 soy protein as weft.
