Inspired by the colours used by Georgia Farrell in her Rowan book My London, our latest asymmetrical scarf sample is knitted in a DK weight yarn.
The pattern does specify about 500m of yarn. I used Rowan Alpaca Soft which has 125m per ball. If you use a DK yarn that has less meterage per ball (like Socks Yeah DK which has 112m per 50g) you'll still get a good sized scarf but it will be slightly smaller.
I also think this scarf would look and feel amazing in Rowan Alpaca Classic.
You can also knit this scarf using leftovers, like our 4ply scrappy version, striping and blending colours as you like.
