Knitted snoods and scarfs

My mom knits a lot, but she only recently started knitting things for me, mostly because I'm allergic to regular sheep wool. But then we started searching for knitting yarn with no or very little wool in it. At first, we didn't find a lot, it was mostly 100% acrylic, but not very soft. We also found a mix of cotton and acrylic, which was softer but it didn't really look like the way I wanted it to look. And then we discovered 'Soyeuse', it's 50% silk and 50% alpaca, it doesn't give me a rash, it's soft, the colours are totally me and it's just plain gorgeous! And a few days ago, we discovered another yarn which was suitable for me: Malabrigo Lace (100% merino) and Silky Merino (51% silk, 49% merino).

These are a few pictures of the things my mom knitted for me




This is a grey triangular shawl, it's a 100% acrylic yarn from 'La lainière de Wazemmes'.
I think this is one of the first things my mom knited for me.






This pink scarf is 60% cotton, 40% acrylic, it's called 'Miami haute gamme' and its from 'La lainière de Wazemmes'. It has leaves on the edges.






This snood was knitted with three yarns togehter, in different shades of brown. One is darker brown, the other two are more light brown or beige. All three of them are 'Charly' from Phildar. 







 This white feather and fan snood was knitted with Soyeuse from La Droguerie. It's really soft and it's one of my favourites, it just goes with anything and any colour.







This is possibly my favourite snood of all times. Its knitted in Soyeuse from La Droguerie and I just love the colour. Sometimes it looks pink, sometimes it looks more purple, sometimes it looks grey-ish, it's just a nude colour and I simply love it. You can wear it as a long snood or you can wrap it twice around your neck if you want it warm and cozy.
