The yarn I used is Phoenix soy silk from South West Trading Company in the colour called I Candy. This yarn is fabulous to work with. It is very easy on the hands and the colours are vibrant. It is a ribbon yarn, so when I was using it I felt like I was knitting with shoelaces, but in a good way :) The stitches dropped with ease. My scarf drapes beautifully. I only had two skeins of the Phoenix, so i made Clapotis slimmer than the pattern, but I love it anyway.

Hi! I found my way here thru the ROAK ring (newbie there) Wanted to tell you how great I think your projects are!
It's good to have blogs to check out for inspiration, and reinforcement that with time and practice, amazing things CAN be made =)
Anyway, keep up the great work!
Wow - that does look nice! I am planning to do the same thing - have my two balls of soy silk already too. How many increase and straight section repeats did you use?
Oh, very pretty. I love the color pattern you chose.
It's beautiful! I was going to buy some of the soy at the TGKA convention, when I saw it listed for $6 a skein. But then the next day when I went back to look at it again I saw a different price, $14! I wonder if I had misread it the first time. Lol.
Very funny.
I check on you constantly, and no updates. Then I stop, and you post up a storm.
Nice Clapotis!
I'm plotting a second one. It's such an addictive pattern.
