Swooning over your Iris, and we are twins on the violet blue Pegasus! These are very hard to find treasures here. Enjoy!.I had a severe case of FOMO (fear of missing out!) and as the new moussies are trickling into boutiques. In order to solve that problem, I grabbed a couple of 2017 that were still around from last season which I had pondered (and lusted after from all the gorgeous pictures here) so I wouldn’t find myself paying far more than I should. They have both been expertly modeled here before..nonetheless....here is one last salute to 2017 ....
Etude por un Iris #8 (I tried to track down @ladybagas gorgeous cw but alas...too late) and Zebra Pegasus #14.

Hi Lanit, I totally agree with you, they are so hard to find! I love the ZP colors on this one and am so happy to be twins with you!
Your amazing modeling shots of the Iris enabled me to find one! I wasn’t wow’d by the pattern until I saw your (and some of the other lovely ladies’) modeling shots...so thank you! Was very happy with this cw, it really changes each way you tie it!

Congrats hopiko! I adore both of them!
I love people’s reaction when they notice the effect....they sort of rub their eyes, shake their head and get an expression on their face like....”hey...did that blue scarf just turn fuchsia?” Ummmm, YES
Lol- yes! I couldn't help but do a picture comparison of the two. Rosee and Quadrige. Rosee is pretty much electric and "on" all the time whereas Quadrige has a low key color haze all over. Enough to know something is going on, but you have to look to be sure of what you are seeing.
A Finnegan photo bomb...(No scarves injured here. He's very gentle...)
OMG!! GORGEOUS moussies but Finnegan steals the show
Glad the moussies are safeYour Rosse is electric! You have inspired me to re-examine my changeants and move the to the top of the moussie drawer...lol!
Bunny, these are really special. Your Quadridge is so very close in coloration to mine, but with richer changeant hues. Reposting my info for comparison.
Bleu Glacier/Vert/Kaki Item No is 401601S 01
Wow, The checkerboard border is beautiful! I love those clic clac bracelets too! I want this outfit!
Hello my fellow moussie lovers!
I'm sidling up to the scarf confessional here again....
Moussies are my favorite format. And of those, I am particularly obsessed with changeants, which seem to be having a bit of an unspoken rest at the moment.
(I mean Jardin Anglais is an awesome scarf already, but can you imagine if some of them had been changeant????)
Anyway....I had some extra spending money after the holidays (yay- holidays?!? You make me over spend so much!) And despite having got not just one but 2 scarves under the tree and one of those a grail, I knew it had to be a scarf and so I wanted something special, and took my time deciding. Of course, my mind always drifts to changeant chiffon...so it took took weeks of searching but I finally found a new one for my little collection.
I'm so pleased to present Quadrige mousseline stole, in bleu gris/ardoise/mauve
which was colorway 08 from 2013. I gave it it's own little glamor shootto try and show the soft changeant effect of the greyish tone to lavender but this one is a lot more subtle than my La Rosee.
I haven't had a stole moussie before, and so now of course I am head over heels in love with the length, weight and ease of wear.

Score! Yay for the moussies! Changeants are so awesome. (I tend to wear La Rosee any chance I get so it stays on top.)
Oh- I have seen your lovely Quadrige from time to time! Cool and minty! This one is bleu gris/ardoise/mauve which was CW 08, if I recall correctly. Thank you so kindly! So happy to be your Quadrige cousin!
Thank you FlaTiger!
ETA- there was no flash in my pics above. That was just ambient light and my iPhone! (Amazing!)
Wow, I looking to see if there was a 'listing' of changeants. It seems like it's mostly someone saying, hey my CW is a changeant. I was looking at one being sold online and it was weird. I found a listing of the moussie CWs for that year and some were changeants and some weren't. That seems odd to me. I wonder if some threads/colors lend themselves to it and others don't.
I love the pairing with that soft turquoise!
We are twins on this one— probably my all-time favorite mousseline, which is saying something, because mousselines are by far my favorite accessory!
The changeant effect is created by the weave rather than a particular pattern, so this is why you find some colorways of a pattern as changeants and others not. The changeant is created by crisscrossing different colored threads, which makes the colors appear to shift as the scarf ripples. If you look very closely at the scarf, you can see how it works, although it's more obvious in the silk twill changeants (which are uncommon, but do exist, as far as I know only in plain unpatterned scarves).
Some changeants are more subtle than others: I have a very obvious changeant that goes from emeraude to bordeaux, but I also have a very subtle changeant that transitions from rose poudre to jaune. The difference in drama is simply down to the fact that green and red are opposite on the color wheel, while soft pink and orangey-yellow are less polarized. Often H has indicated a changeant colorway with a double color name on the hang tag, but that's not a hard and fast rule. Combined with the changeant effect sometimes being subtler than others, this means occasionally changeant quality is debatable. But rest assured if a scarf is changeant, it's usually pretty easy to spot. The debatable ones are rare.
