A gorgeous yarn that combines soft cotton, twisted with nylon in varying spirals, to give a multi-coloured effect that's irridescent.
This yarn works best as a sportweight, so a bit thinner than DK but not as thin as 4ply. The suggested needle/hook sizes are 3.5-4mm to give a tension of 22sts x 32 rows = 10cm over knitted stocking stitch (about a DK). This tension gives a lightweight fabric that is perfect for summer tops. It would also work up into a lovely drapy shawl or long-sleeved jumper. It's ever so pretty when crocheted. Even if you can only run to one ball (I appreciate it's not the cheapest), it makes a lovely addition to a shawl or scarf or even as a stripe or panel in a garment, particularly a summer one.
Buy six balls or more and I'll throw in a couple of complimentary knitting patterns - they take from six balls and are for finished bust measurements of 42 1/2" - 48 3/4" for the lacy tee or 50 1/2" - 56 3/4" for the sideways-knitted top. The patterns are not available separately here but you might find them on the Lang website.
Each 50g ball contains approximately 140m of 88% cotton/12% nylon. Machine washable at 30 degrees.
This yarn is new old stock from my shop Pins & Needles in Devizes; it's not available there but you can arrange to collect it from Pins to save you the postage.
