Dynamic! Like the Knitted green shawl at the beginning of this newsletter, the leaves look like they are fluttering in the wind. Now I could make a dress & shawl to match!
That is very Attractive. I like the curved end too. That bold braid makes it. I also like the method for holding to scarf. I have never seen that before.
Hi Lyudmila, Took me awhile get the label. It is a 4-ply baby yarn made in Turkey. It is called Feza Baby. It is 100% acrylic. (yuck) It is soft though. Each ball is 100 g. or 3.5 oz. and 290m or 319 yards. Label says, 10x10 cm is 23 s x 26 r.
Suggested Knitting needle size: Euro 5. Since i am Crocheting I chose a 3.25 mm hook.
The yarn is awful. But since I bought 9 balls @ $5.00 each, I decided to use it anyway. It splits. It splits a lot! I am rather oversized so The YELLOW DRESS is using all of it!
I had to go all the way back to the 4th row!
Then I thought it needed 31 leaves. Nope. 30. Took it out again.
Then I made a stupid mistake at row 7. I found it at the end of row 8. Notice I said at the end of the row. This means I made the mistake at the Beginning of row 7! Out comes 2 rows.
Finally get to row 9. Guess what. It is «puckering», «bunching up». Out it comes, 2 rows, again. At least it was 2 different rows. After many other «things», the total times I have had to «Rip Out» at least 1 full row is 17.
But i will «conquer» this pattern! I am the Boss, not the pattern or yarn. I WILL «Win»!
Wow. So Flax and cotton, because they are not subjected to this process, «HYDROLYSIS», are called «natural», while plant materials subjected to this process are referred to as «artificial». This leaves «synthetic» as a 3rd. category,
I just finished reading about flax and how linen fabric is made from it. So «that» is straight in my mind now.
On the yarn site it would say things like: 14% cotton, 27% viscose, & 67% wool (or what ever.) The word «viscose» is being used here to mean — what? — «a % of HYDROLYSIS treated plant fibers» without specifying the «type» of plant(s)? This is a large subject.
Now I am going to read about HYDROLYSIS.
