Some swatches from May🪴
I seemed to be in a bit of a searching mood last month with trying to figure out some potential yarn options for future knits.
☁️ I’m still on the fence with the first one, but I got 3 completely different yarns (no sweater quantity). I just wanted to see and test out holding 2 together. Feel the difference between the fabrics when I just swapped one of the options out. The drape, the look and texture and the overall feel. I’m still not sure which I liked best in the end, but they were all knit on 3mm needles.
Option 1: Andes by & Remix Light / 16 stitches × 24 rows
Option 2: Andes by & Heritagee / 19 stitches × 26 rows
Option 3: Heritage & Remix Light / 20 stitches × 26 rows
🫐 Potentially a summer tee: Bio Balance, a sport-weight yarn from knit on 3mm / 26 stitches × 36 rows
🌿My handspun yarn: I have about 336 meters, spun from Pond Scum Batt (Corriedale and silk blend). knit on 5mm / 16 stitches × 22 rows.
This one is such a textured, squishy, fun colour and very unique yarn! I swatched this one no project in mind, purely out of curiosity and I have nothing planned after this 😅? I’m open to ideas though.
