Ah!
Do we call this a great kit with marvelous yarn? Or do we call it marvelous yarn with a free pattern? It could be either/or. What is certain is that each of these are real beauties.
We are so pleased to be able to offer these.
The Hand-Painted Knitting Yarn folk (HPKY) put together some oh-so-lovely "Little Giant Skeins" of yarn. And what is a Giant Skein, you may ask? A Giant Skein is a combination of many different yarns all dyed together in the same colorway. Of course, different fibers take dyes somewhat differently so the whole is a wonderful mix of yarns that look fantastic together but aren't boring in the least.
The Ruffle Scarf (see picture below) is made using one of their Little Giant Skeins, created with six different sport weight yarns.
Each of these contains:
• Fine Merino (100% merino)
• Kid Mohair Boucle/ Merino (50% merino/ 48% kid mohair/ 2% nylon binder)
• Tweed (100% merino)
• Mohair-Merino-Glitter (65% merino/ 30% mohair/ 5% Lurex)
• Mountain Merino (100% Fine Merino)
• Fine Merino/Silk (80% Merino/ 20% Silk)
Each skein is 120 yards for a total of 720 yards to the 8 ounces (230 grams total.
The overall gauge for these yarns is usually 22 stitches and 40 rows to 4 inches on #5 needles. This would be wonderful for a number of shawl designs, changing the yarn as you continue knitting, one per section of the shawl. Or you can knit this scarf, design, aiming for a loose knit and using size 8 (5mm) or even a size 10 (6mm) needle.
On this webpage we offer the colorway called Night, a mix of olives and blue violets, red violets and a bit of blue. The first photo here shows it spread out so you can see the six different yarns, all dyed together. Below it is the skein as it wraps up (which tends to give a better idea of how it might look knitted). And the last is the Ruffled Scarf -- just let us know if you'd like that pattern included.
This is a unique and quite fun set of yarns -- a wonderful way to play with colors!
