This is a set of 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 "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.
Then they added this great pattern -- the Ruffle Scarf 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, but for this design you will be aiming for a loose knit and using size 8 (5mm) or even a size 10 (6mm) needle.
We have a marvelous mix of colors! On this page we show a colorway reminiscent of Spring -- not pastels exactly, but gentle hues. Named after the opera, Otello is a gentle giant indeed. Picture soft pale peach into rose, delicate mint green and a lovely violet.
A beautiful combination to play with and make into a striking shawl or scarf or whatever strikes your fancy.
If you would like to try out the Ruffle Scarf (last photo on this page),just let us know as you check out.
The only limit is your imagination!
