My Experience

Where I got it: Amano provided this skein for me to try.

Needles I used: Hiya Hiya US 2/2.75 mm

Blocked Gauge I got: 28 sts/44 rows = 4"/10 cm

My Thoughts: This yarn is a bit different than the all-wool yarns I tend to gravitate towards, but the cotton and linen content add an interesting and pleasing dry, soft quality to it. It’s got a lovely drape and I could see it being a fingering weight yarn to use for a project you want to be a little less warm - like summer socks or a brioche tank.

What I might design with it: Well, I did in fact design that brioche tank. Stay tuned to see it from Amano.

Where you can get some: Check your LYS.
