With the brand
Anzula, you know what to expect with their yarns, every time. Their yarns are consistently high quality and the colors, beautiful. Their latest
addition to the line, Ava, a sport weight 80/10/10 (merino/cashmere/nylon) blend
is no exception. It's everything I've come to expect from this brand and dyer.
You know when
you have that single skein of precious yarn that you can’t imagine just
knitting any ole’ pattern. Well, I had only the one skein of this color of this
yarn and I wanted to make the very best of it. Of course the yarn is in Poppy. I have to say, this color is by far my favorite color in the long range of Anzula's colorways.
At 330 yards per skein, I figured for this design,
big needles and lace would make this skein go pretty far, which it did! Worked sideways
in stockinette stitch with a lovely lace edging, the Mentzelia Shawlette allow
you to use up every ounce of your precious single skein. The pattern is easy to
remember and very intuitive. As you progress through the lace pattern, the edge
stitch counts changes, increasing and decreasing as you to create the beautiful
points along the edge of the shawlette.
