And when I was given the idea to knit some summer accessories, I felt a bit lost.
I had a vague idea of the hat, which should be light, but keep the form, lace but rather sportive.
I found a nice online shop https://dilanaedaltrestorie.it/ which had the yarn I was longing to try - Askham 4ply and Milburn 4ply from https://www.edencottageyarns.co.uk/, and I was curious to try new CONCEPT by Katia COTTON-YAK.
On that occasion I decided to try even CONCEPT by Katia COTTON-CASHMERE (cotton 90%, cashmere 10%).
So I continued to think over this new summer design considering these two new yarns. I tried several stitches with both yarns and decided, almost at random, to start with Katia.
No wonder that it took me more than 2 months to complete the project... Surely, it wasn't my only WIP and I even sewed a bit, but it's too much for a simple hat.
I hope to be much faster with the second hat.... just give me time to chose the best stitch for it!

Thank you for the yarn links. I am about to browse through https://dilanaedaltrestorie.it/.
ReplyDeleteAlso the Concept Cotton-Cashmere from Katia is a wonderful yarn. I saw and touched it the first time in a tiny little shop in Rheinfelden. I am very much fond of the yarn you get when you mix cotton and cashmere. The drape and coolness and warmth all in ONE yarn is just wonderful.
