My Experience
Where I got it: Magpie gave it to me at Vogue Knitting Live New York, 2017.
Needles I used: Hiya Hiya US 7/4.5 mm
Blocked Gauge I got: 17 sts/27 rows = 4"/10 cm
My Thoughts: I've knit with both the fingering and worsted versions of Domestic, and I love that they're soft, but really sturdy. Like the fingering version, this one has lots of tightly-twisted plies, so it's very bouncy and durable, with super crisp stitch definition. The fabric is cohesive, smooth, and very weighty.
What I might design with it: I'm thinking a cardigan with a colorwork yoke. I think it'll make a long-lasting sweater and that color just glows!
UPDATE: I published Dissent, a cardigan pattern, in this yarn.
