Smells Like Silk

I finished this garment I'm calling Silky Swing. It's a swing coat sort of design. I used Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool. It is a beautiful yarn. A tiny cable pattern gives this a wonderful texture. The pattern is "Swing Jacket with Leaf Border" from Classic Elite Yarns #830, sweaters knit for Devon Silk/Wool Tweed (a yarn that no longer exists, I'm told).
The sweater still needs some sort of closure on the top. I'm considering a Nikki Epstein-style I-cord frog closure, though I'm also thinking about a metal frog. It's blocking now and has that mmmmm-raw-silk smell.
Something else that smells like silk:

This ball of wool-silk-cashmere. It was saved from the landfill by a good friend who offered (unbidden) to clean it for me. I cannot mention the CATastrophe (hint, hint) that befell this yarn. I thought it was lost forever. I was telling this friend about the reason for my tragic sadness, told her the whole sad story, and she told me she could get the smell out. I didn't believe her, but she was keen to help. I delivered the yarn double-bagged to her the next day.
A triple-dip and dry at her house, and the yarn smells good as new. It has that silk smell again, and not at all like cat . . .
For the past few years this yarn has been waiting in my stash to be knit up into an Orenburg Lace shawl. Recent events have convinced me that I must make the shawl. No more excuses. It will be a year of shawls for me.
