sample
Here's a sample knit from a combination of two yarns. I'm loving it, but let me know, what do you think?
2/3 Plymouth Outback in a warm varigated with colors from yellow to burgandy. 1/3 Interlacements varigated with some warm and cool intermixed; teal, dark violet, plum, ruby, rust, gold, grass green. Both are 100% merino wool worsted weight yarn. I mixed up the "striping" pattern, some times I put the interlacements on rows 5 and 6 and sometimes 2 and 3. To me it made the fabric more random and harder to tell where the yarn changed. Up close you can see that the Interlacements is more tightly spun and smoother than the more "fuzzy" Plymouth.
I like it. I really like the vibrant blue scattered through out
ReplyDeleteI like the colors
ReplyDeleteI like it :) I'm just trying to guess what the 2 yarns are.
