TheRibbonSupply by TheRibbonSupply. Highland Duo - Cell Stitch Cowl. What's not to love about Baby Alpaca and Merino Wool?

Highland Duo - Cell Stitch Cowl

It is soft, squishy, warm and feels so lovely when you work with it. Adding Merino Wool to Baby Alpaca gives it memory and stability. So, another new yarn - Highland Duo - 70% Baby Alpaca/30% Merino Wool - 197 yards of squishy softness per skein. This combination is perfect for a cowl, but I wanted something a little open that offered breathability and insulation. Part way through this cowl (after discovering a glaring error), I had to rip out at least 6 rows. So here is the pattern:1 skein Highland Duo - shown in 2305 US 9 - 16-24" circular needles Abbreviations K - Knit YO - Yarn Over Sl1 - Slip 1 K2Tog - Knit 2 together PSSO - pass slipped stitch over Cast on 101 stitches.

FiberPodcasts. Bugga! A sinfully luxurious yarn: lofty sport weight, this yarn knits at a dense gauge on US# 1s or #2s for hard-wearing socks, but also works well at a looser gauge for sweaters, shawls, hats, or baby garments.

Bugga!

Bugga also works up into a fantastic fabric in Tunisian crochet, and weaves quite nicely. This yarn is machine washable, though like all hand knits, it loves the gentle care of hand washing. Finished garments should be laid flat to dry. Due to the variation in colour between skeins inherent in hand-dyed yarn, we recommend alternating skeins every two rows or every round if using more than one skein. **Our Bugga! 70% superwash Merino wool, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon 4 oz, 400 yards 7sts/" on US#2 3-ply sport weight.

How to

Men's Mini Herringbone Scarf. I have accumulated quite a bit of neckwear over the years.

Men's Mini Herringbone Scarf

Some bright, some bulky, some sleek, lots ecru, but hands-down, what earns me the most compliments is my Big Herringbone Cowl, scooped off these pages of the Purl Bee! It is undeniably wonderful. After making one for myself, I was hooked on herringbone. It creates a flat, woven-like fabric on one side while remaining quite lofty and full on the other. It has a fascinating texture with a hypnotizing rhythm, and its drape is just beautiful. My scarf counterpart to Whitney’s cowl showcases a mini-herringbone pattern, bordered by slip stitch rib edges. Materials 2 skeins of Swan’s Island’s Worsted. Gauge 7 1/2 stitches = 1 inch in stitch pattern Size 7 1/2 inches wide by 62 inches long Notes All slipped stitches are to be slipped purl-wise.
