Yakkety-yak (and bamboo)

Today I received a shipment of Bijou Spun yarn, 75% pure yak down/25% bamboo. It is deliciously soft and so easy to work with. No shedding. I've been invited to design a crocheted cable scarf for Bijou Basin Ranch, with a hat and mittens to follow. The photo shows a swatch of the prototype scarf (the color is actually a much richer brown than in the picture). I think I'll make the final design slightly wider so the central cable stands out more. Brown and cream stripes or checks will be cute on the hat.
