Two Colour Brioche Scarf
A great first project for this fabulous stitch. Not at all difficult, but it does take a little getting used to! You will need to have circular needles to make this lovely scarf because of the way the rows are knitted but other than that it is easy to pick up and makes a beautiful scarf.
The instructions assume you have never knitted brioche before - no technical terms and lots and lots ofexplanations!
The pattern comes as a pdf.
Colourway shown is Fondant Fancy (main colour) and Gooseberry Fool. You need 2 skeins of each to make this size scarf which leaves enough for a contrasting hat. You can get a smaller scarf from 1 skein of each colour. Choose your colours of Plump Superchunky here
You also need 12mm circular needles (any length).
Plump is a pretty standard superchunky (super bulky) weight and can be substituted as such.
Ballband Tension (gauge):
Using 10mm needles over stocking stitch: 10 sts to every 10cm
We have used it on many different needle sizes from 8mm to 20mm according to the structure and drape of fabric we want to produce. The larger the needle, the looser the fabric will be.
Washing
Plump Superchunky and Plump DK are made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment.
Shedding
Because of the roving nature of our yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems.

Using your yarn
All our yarn comes in skeins. Before using you need to wind the skein into a ball or you will get into an awful tangled mess! If you are not sure how to do this you can watch our video here!
