Black tonal adult scarf using boucle

Finished an adult scarf the other day. The yarn is boucle.

According to Wikipedia, boucle is " a kind of novelty yarn. It is a yarn with a length of loops of similar size which can range from tiny circlets to large curls.[1] To make bouclé, at least two strands are combined, with the tension on one strand being much looser than the other as it is being plied, with the loose strand forming the loops and the other strand as the anchor."

I like working with it as it is really light and doesn't require much tension -- fingers don't cramp!

This boucle (should be an accent above the e) is a black tonal -- colors range from light grey to dark black.  The pattern is a simple V-stitch.   Pretty.
