Habu Textiles Kusha Kusha Scarf
Habu Textiles creates ethereal patterns to compliment their incredible yarns. The Kusha Kusha scarf showcases Silk Stainless and Superfine Merino. Silk, merino wool, and stainless steel? That's no typo, that is a one-of-a-kind combination! After knitting, the Kusha Kusha scarf is washed, which felts the merino wool and renders the fabric as light as a feather.
Our friends at Habu were kind enough to share the Kusha Kusha Scarf pattern with The Purl Bee!

Yes, in the pattern we've featured here, you knit with both strands (one merino and one stainless) for part and then switch to just one strand of the stainless all the way to the end.
It is soft, and it is wearable. Its not necessarily warm or cozy, but it is delicate and light, perfect for spring.

Thank you
Both yarns in the photo are the off white, but it looks like we're out of the off white stainless at the moment. If you'd like, you can email our customer service address and they will let you know when we get it back in.

Warm water and handwash soap. Fill the basin and submerge the scarf. Then rub the scarf in your hands. You'll see it begin to felt after a moment or two. Keep doing it until it is as felted as you would like. Then rinse it by soaking it in several changes of warm clear water. Block and allow to dry.
