When in doubt, start another Clapotis. I bought this yarn at MDS&W last year, it's a merino-mohair blend from Firesong Fibers. It's fairly soft, but not as soft as Lion and Lamb. Nothing is as soft as L&L. I also don't have enough (now that I know I'm a 4-skein Clapotis-er) to make it full width, so it will be a standard scarf width. I love, love, love the colors. And after completing this I will have ameliorated some stash guilt and I can buy more Lion and Lamb.
I want a full-sized one in dramatic colors, and I'll probably use this scarf next winter. I'm making it about 9 inches wide, vs. the 22-ish of the actual Clapotis, so it will work with the ancient leather jacket that is my winter coat. I love these colors, but nothing beats the softness of Lion and Lamb, it's definitely one of those "worth the price" yarns.
