photosynthesis scarf from Iwunder

Photosynthesis: The chemical process by which chlorophyll containing plants (or algae) use light to convert carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrates (sugar/food), releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

 

The January 2009 challenge for the Mad Scientists of Etsy (msoe) street team is "photosynthesis." Here is my entry, this skinny scarf knit in the oozing colors of green swamp slime, of which I am extremely partial, being a marine biologist by training and algal lover beyond comparison.

 

This incredibly lightweight skinny scarf is knit with soft loosely spun wool that changes colors randomly through the green spectrum. The yarn is a wool and acrylic blend, which makes it warm and soft yet light as a feather.
