Tough Choices
I went on a yarn crawl yesterday (I have 6 LYS stores within 20 minutes of my house - I am soooo blessed!!!!) for the perfect scarf yarn. I narrowed it down to Manos Multi #111 and Noro Silk Garden #205. I also didn't resist some sock yarn, but this is about necks not feet. So, fellow scarf exchangers which yarn should I cast on? I think I know, but it never hurts to get a second opinion. :)

oh.... I just love that lucscious red! I vote for the Manos.
Oh, they're both such pretty yarns... it totally depends on what the pattern is that you would use with them. Any chance you could share that, or does it need to be a secret?
I was thinking cables for the Manos. Because the color variation stays within the red to pink, I think the cables wouldn't get lost. And the Noro would be diamond rib pattern loosely based on the Dibs on Ribs pattern from Interweave's website. I love the color of the Manos, but the Noro pattern would be very unique. Decisions, decisions.
I vote for the Manos! It is very pretty!
Well, I'm sure the Manos will look great with the cables, but I would love to see your vision of the diamond rib in a scarf, SO... if you don't do that for the exchange, I really hope you'll do it for yourself, and show it off so I can see how it turns out!h
