The thin threads that the yarn is made up of, are not twisted around each other, and I was a bit concerned that the yarn would be hard to knit with. I expected to stick my needle between the threads and miss one or two here and there, but personally, I didn’t have any problems.
Because this yarn is handmade, the cakes do not all have exactly the same weight. The ball band says ‘approx. 225 grams’, but mine was 235 grams. This meant that I could add quite a few extra rows to the border (the pattern explains how to do this) and it has become quite a big shawl.
At € 29.95 per cake, this yarn is rather more expensive than that of the grey Morbihan. But considering that it is handmade and organic, and has a generous metreage, I think it really is a bargain, too. It would be an ideal choice for warmer climates, vegans and people allergic to wool.
Wat leuk om de verschillende soorten garens terug te zien in 1 en dezelfde shawl. Een kleine voorkeur voor duurste versie, maar de andere zijn ook heel mooi.
Voor elk wat wils!
Het was ook erg leuk om te zien hoe het patroon uitpakt in verschillende garens.
Such a scrumptious shawl! So helpful to see it in different yarns too. It really is a beautiful pattern.
Thank you! I’m wearing it (the ‘Puno’ version) every day now, and it’s very soft and warm.
