My Mom is a huge fan of pink - it's her favourite colour, it looks good on her, all that stuff. At the K-W Knitters Fair this year, Lucky and I checked out the Dye-Version booth and fell in love with her Sterling yarn - it has 2% sterling silver spun into the merino/silk/nylon blend/ It's supposed to be a sock yarn, but I thought it would make a stunning scarf for my Mom, especially warped with some silver tencel I had...
it's a semi solid, so it has some depth of colour
and the 2% of silver is just enough. Not to shiny or glitzy, but just enough sparkle.
And it's weaving up like a dream the tencel warp threads are nice and supple, and will add a lot to the drape of this scarf, as well as extending the use of the sterling by only using is as the weft threads.

Wow - it's gorgeous. The colour variations are lovely.
Great photos. It just brings the sprakly parts to life. Its going to make a wonderful scarf.
That is SO pretty - I bought the same yarn at the fair, and was thinking it was too nice for feet...
Who wouldn't love that? Its gorgeous - lucky Mom!
