Twisted Fiber Art, Inc.

Yarn:  Duchess.  
Duchess is an all around great yarn. Its construction is four plies twisted into a nice smooth yarn with bounce and elasticity making it very pleasant to work with. It makes awesome squishy, warm socks, comfy hats and other accessories and quick-knit baby garments. It takes color beautifully and knit fabrics show this off wonderfully! It’s the go-to yarn for many a Twisted junkie, er… fan!

This skein is larger than usual (165 grams and 395 yards) and also has longer color repeats. This product was designed with scarves, shrugs and other medium sized projects in mind.

Angst. Reddish browns and shades of purple combine with piercing blues. The name came from my son who is now a middle schooler. The knit sample is pictured to show in general how the colors interact and move as you knit. The yarn may be different but the size of the stripes will be similar. Keep in mind that each skein is unique and will knit in its own beautiful way.

Skein Design: Organic Stripe. When knit this yarn will stripe organically, blending from one color to another without the abrupt changes and predictable repeats found on machine printed yarns. The stripes vary throughout so shaping will not interfere with the look of your knit garment.
