Never worry about a lack of color in your life again!
- Dream in Color | Smooshy (Special YarnYAY! 50 gr hank) This month we're combining luxury with trend! Smooshy is the most delightful merino/nylon yarn. Combine its lovely drape with a dye technique perfect for assigned pooling, and you've got yourself a drool-worthy fiber experience. We love the luminescent palette of our shade selection, Violet Fields, too!
- Assigned Pooling Scarves/Shawlette Patterns | Designs by Vickie Howell & Gavriella Tremino Assigned pooling, made popular by Dawn Barker, is the technique of "assigning" a particular stitch pattern to a designated color in a variegated yarn. Usually, that means a plainer stitch for the main shade in the yarn, and then a textural stitch for the secondary color. We're playing with this method in both of this month's projects! You'll have enough yarn for the scarves. Shawlettes will require a wee bit more. The knit scarf (by Vickie), Seeds & Flowers, is a heart-shaped piece worked in Stockinette Stitch, then texturally embellished with Reverse Stockinette and Floret stitches. The crochet scarf (by Gavriella), Sun & Grain is worked from tip-out, dabbling in eyelets and back loop stitches. We're thrilled to welcome our Fall/Winter Designer-in-Residence, Gavriella Tremino!
