Notes

NPing this 4ply to a DKish weight.

This is very splitty knitting and feels and looks more like silk than cashmere. I have to be very careful to catch all the fine plies!

BUT it’s absolutely gorgeous! Amazing stitch definition and the sheen… I just hope that this pattern is enough to balance the bias issue? We will see!

Shoot! 1/2 way through the cowl and I notice that I have been mixing up 2 patterns and messed up my yo’s… leaf stem yo’s instead of this pattern’s yos… it looks OK and I am not frogging so onwards!

Jan 15th.

Done and it’s gorgeous but feels very heavy! 83 grams used but it feels like more. (Like silk would feel… heavy!) Seriously, If I didn’t know better I would say that this yarn is silk or a high % of silk in it. Very odd…

Measures 12 1/2” x 22”
