Versatile, springy wool with a gorgeous palette
Posted on 07/09/2009 at 7:19:08 PM
This yarn is a lovely and incredibly versatile wool. I have knit an entire sweater with it (men's, even), knit a small toy item, and swatched extensively with it. It performs beautifully at multiple gauges: a lovely lightweight fabric at 6 sts to the inch but also a beautiful fabric at 5.5 or even 5 to an inch w/o losing its body, and doubled will knit at aranweight. You can even knit it a bit tighter for superwarm mittens. It's soft with excellent elasticity and bounce. Stitch definition is excellent. Cables really pop. It blooms when washed but not so as to alter gauge noticeably, in my experience.
The palette is gorgeous. The colors are designed to work with each other and you can put together some great combinations for colorwork, like stranded or fair isle patterns.
This is a beautiful yarn and I look forward to working with it many more times, for just about any kind of project!
