Nice to get to know where Kath got the inspiration for her sock patterns and I absolutely love the names 🥰 I am waiting to see Adelaide socks! Regarding the unspun yarn (I use Nutiden) it’s not heavy at all, it’s extremely light and airy but very warm and if used with a mohair it takes very little yarn. I used my Nutiden jumpers quite a lot the past winter as it was quite a cold one in Melbourne and in Ballarat especially
@Fibremates
@Fibremates Ай бұрын
This is great feedback! I have Manchelopis by Wool Dreamers which is an unspun yarn which comes in a plate like Nutiden but there are double strands in the plate. I’m so itching to cast on a sweater in it! I wanted to try the Manchelopis first because it is a bit more affordable and was easier for me acquire. I’ll keep you posted if I decide to cast on! I may just need to turn on the air con!😂
