Yarn: Shiny. Shiny is soft and smooth and… shiny! (In both the reflecting light way and the happy postitive exclamation from Firefly way!) This yarn is very well constructed with three neatly twisted plies that are the key to its glossy shine and lack of halo. The Tencel makes it quite tough with no give (you don’t want to try to snap this yarn with your bare hands) so garments knit from this yarn stay new looking for a long time even after lots of washing. Just say NO to pilling!
Shiny is a wonderful choice for lacey socks, lacey scarves and lacey shawls. Non-lacey items too, I suppose, I’m just partial to the lacey, shiny thing! It is not wooly so it is an excellent choice for summer knitting.
Zoinks! The Scooby gang is an iconic group of mystery solvers. Zoinks! is a colorway packed with colors pulled from the gang's funky wardrobe and the retro stylings of the Mystery Machine. Colors include those of Daphne's swanky mini, Shaggy's baggy britches, Scooby's cowardly coat and, of course Freddy's super cool ascot! And no Scooby-Doo theme yarn would be complete without Velma's lovingly handknit kneesocks! I couldn't have created this colorway if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!
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.
