My Experience

Where I got it: Brooklyn Tweed sent me a sample skein.

Needles I used: Hiya Hiya sharps US 2/2.75 mm mm

Blocked Gauge I got: 29 sts/62 rows = 4"/10 cm

My Thoughts:  This yarn is soft and feels lovely to knit with. I wasn't totally satisfied with my Stockinette fabric - it seemed a little bumpy and uneven after blocking. But my impression is that this is really meant to be worked in lace. That's what I need to try.

What I might design with it: A wedding pi shawl. 

Where you can get some: Brooklyn Tweed's website or your LYS. They've added some stockists recently, so check to see if your favourite shop carries it.
