As part of my efforts to rekindle my knitting mojo I also pulled out some of my handspun skeins. I do really enjoy working with my handspun yarn. This yarn is what is left of the three spins that I used in the Practically Handspun vest. This is spin 13, and I have another full skein, besides the partial in the picture, over 250 yards total.
Here is a picture of the original set of skeins. I used about half in the Practically Handspun vest, and I really loved working with it. I spent some time yesterday going through my Ravelry library looking for a pattern that I vaguely remembered buying at some point that I thought would be perfect for this yarn, and I finally found it - The Tredegar Scarflette by Jo-Anne Klim. I’m very happy with how it is knitting up, even though the yarn is a 2-ply my cables are popping quite nicely.
Pattern: Tredegar Scarflette by Jo-Anne Klim
Yarn: Handspun Rosie’s Multicolor Merino Top in Purple Haze
Needle: US 4 (3.5 mm) for the border, US 6 (4.0 mm) for the cable pattern
