I have to quote Catie directly here, as she says it so well:
"Everyone deserves a little luxury -- this is it!
"The yarn is a yummy soft blend of exotic fibers -- luscious and lofty yak fur -- fine, cashmere-like merino -- and silken bamboo -- thus the name Yakaboo.
"A pleasure to knit with and even more pleasurable when worn next to the skin. You'll appreciate this luxurious-yet-warm layer of defense against cool winds and chilly temperatures.
"Tiny beads add a touch of elegance to the natural, undyed color of the yarn.
"The Neck Warmer is worked in an eyelet ridge pattern stitch starting with a mitered square at the center. Worked with two strands of yarn throughout, it knits up quickly and easily."
I knew I loved the yarn -- I had no idea that Cate could create something so absolutely wonderful with it!
The kit will have a copy of her very clear pattern, one skein of Yakaboo, and ten grams of Rustic Grey Silver Lined Alabaster beads or another 8/0 bead that looks good with the yarn. The beads add just that much extra sparkle to make the whole look amazing.
This will give you almost 100 extra beads to work with -- the pattern calls for about 300 beads and this is closer to 400. If you would prefer beads that will stand out more, just say the word (via the "Comments" section as you check out) and we'll give you another selection that will twinkle like stars and add even more of a glow. Just say the word --we love to work with you to make your vision into reality
No reservations on this one -- a wonderful piece for yourself or someone that you really care about.
