Yarn: Duchess. Duchess is an all around great yarn. Its construction is four plies twisted into a nice smooth yarn. It has the bounce and elasticity making it very pleasant to work with. Duchess dyes beautifully providing vivid color with lots of detail throughout.
It makes awesome squishy, warm socks, super comfy hats 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! The Extra-Large skein option would be perfect for medium sized projects (scarves or other accessories). This alternate skein size also has the advantage of much longer stripes than the 100 gram skeins for a nicely composed look.
Giles. This colorway is inspired by my favorite librarian, Buffy’s watcher. The colors of a proper British gent: tweedy browns, russet grain and mild-mannered blues. Sample is knit in a different yarn and but shows how the yarn knits up and how the colors interact and move as you knit. 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.
