I have started knitting a baby blanket with this yarn, (but any DK yarn would work equally well – yardage & tension may differ slightly).
I am following free pattern ZIG ZAG SET. This is quite a simple pattern. Once I completed a few rows, it was easy to memorize without consulting pattern for every row.
I chose the colourway Mother of Pearl 5101. This is a lovely dusty pink with dark nebs.
A standard spun yarn with neps that gives extra texture and interest. This beautiful fibre blend includes Merino & Alpaca making this yarn ideal for all your knit projects.
Balled as doughnut, this gives an additional elegance to this yarn.
Pros:
- Very soft to work with.
- Wonderful drape and stitch definition.
- DK weight makes this yarn quick to work up.
- Machine wash.
Cons:
- Neps tend to come off easily.
- Machine drying not recommended.
