What to do with that one gorgeous skein? Just comply! Although we called this Compliance is Optional, we don’t really think it is. The slight changes as you progress through the pattern keep those busy fingers moving, a perfect spectacle for any weight and style of yarn. The finished look is quite stunning and with indie dyers titillating our imagination what can one do but comply?
