Yummy laceweight alert!!

ClaireUK · Yummy laceweight alert!!

Dear knitters - my credit card may need CPR if I look at this yarn one more time Embarassed

Its the Strickwear Kits on the GK 'just in' page. My kit arrived this morning - the Merging Colours pretty picot scarf in Carribean Sunset. .

It comes with 8 skeins of laceweight solid 100% merino in 8 plain toning colours. Each skein is 28g or 1oz approx and measures about 290 yards or 265 metres.

Im not making the scarf, I bought the kit to use the plain yarns for compimentary touches for my variagated laceweights to increase my design options.

The problem is, having seen it, stroked it and loved it all morning - I now want some in all 4 colourways Confused

That is soooo pretty - I've being eyeing it up on the GK site since it appeared on there - how is the scarf knit to get the colours to blend so well- do you use the yarn double?

I would like some too - I'm going to have to give my card to DH to look after so I cant use it Laughing

You use 3 strands together, but keep changeing the 3 strands - its a bit complicated, but the pattern comes with clear instructions.
